The review of this component was also what led us to the discovery of the deepin-feature-enable whitelisting bypass, since we installed the full Deepin desktop environment for the first time in a long time, which triggered the “license agreement” dialog described above. After finding out about this, we decided that it was time to reassess the overall topic of Deepin in openSUSE based on our long-standing experiences.

2024-08-29: deepin-api-proxy: D-Bus Service
After a longer time of standstill regarding Deepin reviews, a request for the addition of deepin-api-proxy arrived. This package greeted us with over two dozen D-Bus configuration files. Again, upstream’s description of what the component is supposed to do was very terse. From looking at the implementation we deduced that the proxy component seems to be related to the renaming of interfaces described in the previous section.
We found a design flaw in the proxy’s design which allowed a local root exploit. You can find the details in a dedicated blog post we published about this not too long ago.
It is noteworthy that the communication with upstream proved very difficult during the coordinated disclosure process we started for this finding. We did not get timely responses, which nearly led us to a one-sided publication of the report, until upstream finally expressed their wish to follow coordinated disclosure at the very last moment.

Sadly the review of deepin-app-services was another chaotic case, one that is actually still unfinished. Even understanding the purpose of this D-Bus service was difficult, because there wasn’t really any design documentation or purpose description of the component. From looking at the D-Bus service implementation, we judged that it is a kind of system wide configuration store for Deepin. Contrary to most other Deepin D-Bus services, this one is not running as root but as a dedicated unprivileged service user.

This reads like a horror novel but it's actually happening! Unbelievable how this has harmed a distro with many dedicated users!

After reviewing the main D-Bus service, we could not help ourselves but call it a security nightmare. The service methods were not only unauthenticated and thus accessible to all users in the system, but the D-Bus configuration file also allowed anybody to own the D-Bus service path on the system bus, which could lead to impersonation of the daemon. Among other issues, the D-Bus service allowed anybody in the system to create arbitrary new UNIX groups, add arbitrary users to arbitrary groups, set arbitrary users’ Samba passwords or overwrite almost any file on the system by invoking mkfs on them as root, leading to data loss and denial-of-service. The daemon did contain some Polkit authentication code, but it was all found in unused code paths; to top it all off, this code used the deprecated UnixProcess Polkit subject in an unsafe way, which would make it vulnerable to race conditions allowing authentication bypass, if it had been used.

Why do f-ing websites keep having a f-ing choice about f-ing NECESSARY COOKIES ONLY while they're clearly not f-ing sufficient to prevent f-ing questions about f-ing cookies the next f-ing time I visit the f-ing site?!

For some reason, #MoveInSync needs to store 2+ GB of “documents & data” on my #iPhone.
#WTF? WHY?
Saw someone wearing a #MoveInSync t-shirt in #NammaMetro yesterday and was *so tempted* to accost them to give in-person feedback on this garbage of an app.
(Bug-reports via the app, email-feedback, etc. seemingly go to /dev/null. )
The #MoveInSync app crashes so often on #iOS that it’s barely usable.
It’s not just me — multiple folks in my company & elsewhere have been complaining about this — see the App Store reviews.
Don’t even get me started on its scheduling & pick-up idiocies.
