Currently the sort and sort_ro can access external keys via `GET` and `BY` in order to make sure the user cannot violate the authorization ACL rules, the decision is to reject external keys access patterns unless ACL allows SORT full access to all keys. I.e. for backwards compatibility, SORT with GET/BY keeps working, but if ACL has restrictions to certain keys, these features get permission denied. ### Implemented solution We have discussed several potential solutions and decided to only allow the GET and BY arguments when the user has all key permissions with the SORT command. The reasons being that SORT with GET or BY is problematic anyway, for instance it is not supported in cluster mode since it doesn't declare keys, and we're not sure the combination of that feature with ACL key restriction is really required. **HOWEVER** If in the fullness of time we will identify a real need for fine grain access support for SORT, we would implement the complete solution which is the alternative described below. ### Alternative (Completion solution): Check sort ACL rules after executing it and before committing output (either via store or to COB). it would require making several changes to the sort command itself. and would potentially cause performance degradation since we will have to collect all the get keys instead of just applying them to a temp array and then scan the access keys against the ACL selectors. This solution can include an optimization to avoid the overheads of collecting the key names, in case the ACL rules grant SORT full key-access, or if the ACL key pattern literal matches the one used in GET/BY. It would also mean that authorization would be O(nlogn) since we will have to complete most of the command execution before we can perform verification Co-authored-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Oran Agra <oran@redislabs.com>
Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
| Option | Impact |
|---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_servercontexttagscontext that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
| Tag | Indicates |
|---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode. |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not campatible with --tls. |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the
external:skip tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done
automatically.
When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
