Tomcat-Valve

0x01 Tomcat Pipeline Mechanism

当Tomcat接收到客户端请求时,首先通过Connector解析成ServletRequest,再发送到Container进行处理。

Container下面有四个子容器,Engine、Host、Context、Wrapper,这四个组件不是平行的,而是父子关系。

消息在这四个子容器中层层传递,最终发送给Servlet进行处理。这个过程就涉及到了Tomcat管道机制。

Pipeline:管道

Valve:阀门

我们传递的信息就像水流,在Pipeline里面流动。通过Valve,可以让水流流向不同的Pipeline,过滤水流的杂质。对比SpringMVC的拦截器,Pipeline 就相当于拦截器链,而Valve就相当于拦截器。

Pipeline 中会有一个最基础的 Valve(Basic),它始终位于末端(最后执行),它在业务上面的表现是封装了具体的请求处理和输出响应。

四大组件 Engine、Host、Context 以及 Wrapper 都有其对应的 Valve 类

  • StandardEngineValve

  • StandardHostValve

  • StandardContextValve

  • StandardWrapperValve

他们同时维护一个 StandardPipeline 实例

0x02 Analysis

下面分析的是Tomcat 9.0.20 ,Tomcat 8 可能会有稍微的差异。

Pipeline接口存在addValve方法,其实现类StandardPipeline实现了这个方法

org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline#addValve

public void addValve(Valve valve) {

    // Validate that we can add this Valve
    if (valve instanceof Contained)
        ((Contained) valve).setContainer(this.container);

    // Start the new component if necessary
    if (getState().isAvailable()) {
        if (valve instanceof Lifecycle) {
            try {
                ((Lifecycle) valve).start();
            } catch (LifecycleException e) {
                log.error(sm.getString("standardPipeline.valve.start"), e);
            }
        }
    }

    // 将Valve插入在Basic前一位
    if (first == null) {
        first = valve;
        valve.setNext(basic);
    } else {
        // 从first开始遍历,若下一个是basic,插入在前面
        Valve current = first;
        while (current != null) {
            if (current.getNext() == basic) {
                current.setNext(valve);
                valve.setNext(basic);
                break;
            }
            current = current.getNext();
        }
    }

    container.fireContainerEvent(Container.ADD_VALVE_EVENT, valve);
}

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase#getPipeline用于获取当前容器的Pipeline

/**
* Return the Pipeline object that manages the Valves associated with this Container.
*/
@Override
public Pipeline getPipeline() {
    return this.pipeline;
}

Valve接口定义了invoke方法

public void invoke(Request request, Response response)

只需在运行时向 Engine/Host/Context/Wrapper 这四种 Container 组件中的任意一个的pipeline 中插入一个我们自定义的 valve,在其中对相应的请求进行拦截并执行我们想要的功能。

前面的Filter内存马只对当前context 生效,而Valve 如果插到最顶层的container 也就是 Engine,则会对 Engine 下的所有的context 生效

之前用到的熟悉的StandardContextContainerBase的子类

因此先通过StandardContext.getPipeline()获取到StandardPipeline,再通过StandardPipeline.addValve()添加恶意Valve
