* netfilter: add SELinux context support to AUDIT targetMr Dash Four2011-06-301-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this revision the conversion of secid to SELinux context and adding it to the audit log is moved from xt_AUDIT.c to audit.c with the aid of a separate helper function - audit_log_secctx - which does both the conversion and logging of SELinux context, thus also preventing internal secid number being leaked to userspace. If conversion is not successful an error is raised. With the introduction of this helper function the work done in xt_AUDIT.c is much more simplified. It also opens the possibility of this helper function being used by other modules (including auditd itself), if desired. With this addition, typical (raw auditd) output after applying the patch would be: type=NETFILTER_PKT msg=audit(1305852240.082:31012): action=0 hook=1 len=52 inif=? outif=eth0 saddr=10.1.1.7 daddr=10.1.2.1 ipid=16312 proto=6 sport=56150 dport=22 obj=system_u:object_r:ssh_client_packet_t:s0 type=NETFILTER_PKT msg=audit(1306772064.079:56): action=0 hook=3 len=48 inif=eth0 outif=? smac=00:05:5d:7c:27:0b dmac=00:02:b3:0a:7f:81 macproto=0x0800 saddr=10.1.2.1 daddr=10.1.1.7 ipid=462 proto=6 sport=22 dport=3561 obj=system_u:object_r:ssh_server_packet_t:s0 Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mr Dash Four <mr.dash.four@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While auditing all tasklist_lock read_lock sites I stumbled over the following call chain: audit_prepare_user_tty() read_lock(&tasklist_lock); tty_audit_push_task(); mutex_lock(&buf->mutex); --> buf->mutex is locked with preemption disabled. Solve this by acquiring a reference to the task struct under rcu_read_lock and call tty_audit_push_task outside of the preempt disabled region.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL charactersMiloslav Trmac2009-04-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control() to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL. audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory is after the NULL. Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it) we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using audit_log_untrustedstring.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hello, According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the function: audit_string_contains_control() in: kernel/audit.c Patch is included. I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via call path: avc_audit() audit_log_untrustedstring() audit_log_n_untrustedstring() audit_string_contains_control() If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not detected. I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

* Audit: stop deadlock from signals under loadEric Paris2008-04-281-5/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A deadlock is possible between kauditd and auditd under load if auditd receives a signal. When auditd receives a signal it sends a netlink message to the kernel asking for information about the sender of the signal. In that same context the audit system will attempt to send a netlink message back to the userspace auditd. If kauditd has already filled the socket buffer (see netlink_attachskb()) auditd will now put itself to sleep waiting for room to send the message. Since auditd is responsible for draining that socket we have a deadlock. The fix, since the response from the kernel does not need to be synchronous is to send the signal information back to auditd in a separate thread.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch causes the kernel audit subsystem to store up to audit_backlog_limit messages for use by auditd if it ever appears sometime in the future in userspace. This is useful to collect audit messages during bootup and even when auditd is stopped. This is NOT a reliable mechanism, it does not ever call audit_panic, nor should it. audit_log_lost()/audit_panic() are called during the normal delivery mechanism. The messages are still sent to printk/syslog as usual and if too many messages appear to be queued they will be silently discarded. I liked doing it by default, but this patch only uses the queue in question if it was booted with audit=1 or if the kernel was built enabling audit by default.

* audit: netlink socket can be auto-bound to pid other than current->pid (v2)Pavel Emelyanov2008-03-201-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> This patch is based on the one from Thomas. The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9) uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one. That's the preamble. The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be) in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy and its socket will be bound to another id. The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys, that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg. The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only. Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid as well. A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in the audit_filter_syscall.

* [PATCH] drop EOE records from printkSteve Grubb2008-03-011-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | Hi, While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE (end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog. Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

* [RFC] AUDIT: do not panic when printk loses messagesEric Paris2008-03-011-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic. This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules. These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come through while auditd is stopped. This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try? At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will eventually know that things went bad. The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk this code path.
