Description David Cook 2020-01-30 04:12:28 UTC
If koha_trusted_proxies contains an invalid or unparseable value, say due to a typo, like "1.1.1.", it'll treat it as a 0.0.0.0/0 mask and match against everything. 

In my tests, this leads to REMOTE_USER being set to undef.

(On the plus side, at least a 0.0.0.0/0 mask leads to zero privileges rather than all privileges.)
Comment 1 David Cook 2020-01-30 04:14:18 UTC
The solution should probably use either the new2 constructor (code smell...) or check the $objet->{'ERROR'} value as per https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::Netmask#CONSTRUCTING. 

(Note that I actually found this while testing a patch for https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24537)

Bug 24538: Handle Net::Netmask parser errors

This patch switches from the new() to new2() constructor,
which will return an undef value when it fails to parse a value.

This patch warns on parser failures, but otherwise silently drops
the invalid value, and returns objects for any valid input it can parse.
This way one mistake won't disable the whole feature.

To test:
1. Run the unit test t/Koha/Middlware/RealIP.t
Comment 4 David Cook 2020-02-19 02:17:45 UTC
I'd suggest applying the "Add unit tests..." patch first, running it, seeing the failures, and then applying the 2nd patch, and then running the unit test again (and seeing the successes).
