| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 4da6daf4d3df5a977e4623963f141a627fd2efce. Unfortunately, the commit in question caused problems with Bluetooth devices, specifically it caused them to get caught in the newly created BUG_ON() check. The AF_ALG problem still exists, but will be addressed in a future patch. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>

| * | selinux: reduce the number of calls to synchronize_net() when flushing cachesPaul Moore2014-06-261-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When flushing the AVC, such as during a policy load, the various network caches are also flushed, with each making a call to synchronize_net() which has shown to be expensive in some cases. This patch consolidates the network cache flushes into a single AVC callback which only calls synchronize_net() once for each AVC cache flush.

| * | selinux: fix the default socket labeling in sock_graft()Paul Moore2014-07-101-2/+11
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sock_graft() hook has special handling for AF_INET, AF_INET, and AF_UNIX sockets as those address families have special hooks which label the sock before it is attached its associated socket. Unfortunately, the sock_graft() hook was missing a default approach to labeling sockets which meant that any other address family which made use of connections or the accept() syscall would find the returned socket to be in an "unlabeled" state. This was recently demonstrated by the kcrypto/AF_ALG subsystem and the newly released cryptsetup package (cryptsetup v1.6.5 and later). This patch preserves the special handling in selinux_sock_graft(), but adds a default behavior - setting the sock's label equal to the associated socket - which resolves the problem with AF_ALG and presumably any other address family which makes use of accept().

| * | locks: rename file-private locks to "open file description locks"Jeff Layton2014-04-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now* people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new file-private locks suck. ...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck. We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them. The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as "open file description locks". The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier to spot this difference when reading code. This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before v3.15 ships: 1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest. 2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK" Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Cc: Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Frank Filz <ffilzlnx@mindspring.com> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

| | * | locks: add new fcntl cmd values for handling file private locksJeff Layton2014-03-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor associated with the inode. This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished. Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads. This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance and behavior on close. This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired. Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the last reference to a filp is put. These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by the same process or on the same file descriptor. The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl() syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to "classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't see any need for it. Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.

After policy load we call inode_doinit() which calls inode_doinit_with_dentry() on all inodes accessed before policy load. In the case of inodes in procfs that means we'll end up at the bottom where it does: /* Default to the fs superblock SID. */ isec->sid = sbsec->sid; if ((sbsec->flags & SE_SBPROC) && !S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) { if (opt_dentry) { isec->sclass = inode_mode_to_security_class(...) rc = selinux_proc_get_sid(opt_dentry, isec->sclass, &sid); if (rc) goto out_unlock; isec->sid = sid; } } Since opt_dentry is null, we'll never call selinux_proc_get_sid() and will leave the inode labeled with the label on the superblock. I believe a fix would be to mimic the behavior of xattrs. Look for an alias of the inode. If it can't be found, just leave the inode uninitialized (and pick it up later) if it can be found, we should be able to call selinux_proc_get_sid() ..." On a system exhibiting this problem, you will notice a lot of files in /proc with the generic "proc_t" type (at least the ones that were accessed early in the boot), for example: # ls -Z /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }' system_u:object_r:proc_t:s0 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax However, with this patch in place we see the expected result: # ls -Z /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }' system_u:object_r:sysctl_kernel_t:s0 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| * | | | selinux: put the mmap() DAC controls before the MAC controlsPaul Moore2014-02-281-12/+8

Example: # cat mmap_test.c #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/mman.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int rc; void *mem; mem = mmap(0x0, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (mem == MAP_FAILED) return errno; printf("mem = %p\n", mem); munmap(mem, 4096); return 0; } # gcc -g -O0 -o mmap_test mmap_test.c # ./mmap_test mem = (nil) # ausearch -m AVC | grep mmap_zero type=AVC msg=audit(...): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=1025 comm="mmap_test" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect This patch corrects things so that when the above example is run by a user without CAP_SYS_RAWIO the SELinux AVC is no longer generated as the DAC capability check fails before the SELinux permission check.

(2) Don't use key_perm_t for a mask of required permissions, but rather limit it to the permissions mask attached to the key and arguments related directly to that.

Add an argument to let the callers choose the appropriate way. In order to do so a gfp argument needs to be added to the method xfrm_policy_alloc_security in struct security_operations and to the internal function selinux_xfrm_alloc_user. After that switch to GFP_ATOMIC in the atomic callers and leave GFP_KERNEL as before for the rest. The path that needed the gfp argument addition is: security_xfrm_policy_alloc -> security_ops.xfrm_policy_alloc_security -> all users of xfrm_policy_alloc_security (e.g. selinux_xfrm_policy_alloc) -> selinux_xfrm_alloc_user (here the allocation used to be GFP_KERNEL only) Now adding a gfp argument to selinux_xfrm_alloc_user requires us to also add it to security_context_to_sid which is used inside and prior to this patch did only GFP_KERNEL allocation. So add gfp argument to security_context_to_sid and adjust all of its callers as well.

I was not able to recreate this via normal files. But I'm not sure they are safe. It may just be that the race window is much harder to hit. What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted. As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock(). The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct. Now if the freeing of the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then there will be no issue here. (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the permission check). Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand. A real fix is to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers from the RCU callback. But that is a major job to do, and requires a lot of work. For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

* | | | selinux: correctly label /proc inodes in use before the policy is loadedPaul Moore2014-03-191-9/+27

After policy load we call inode_doinit() which calls inode_doinit_with_dentry() on all inodes accessed before policy load. In the case of inodes in procfs that means we'll end up at the bottom where it does: /* Default to the fs superblock SID. */ isec->sid = sbsec->sid; if ((sbsec->flags & SE_SBPROC) && !S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) { if (opt_dentry) { isec->sclass = inode_mode_to_security_class(...) rc = selinux_proc_get_sid(opt_dentry, isec->sclass, &sid); if (rc) goto out_unlock; isec->sid = sid; } } Since opt_dentry is null, we'll never call selinux_proc_get_sid() and will leave the inode labeled with the label on the superblock. I believe a fix would be to mimic the behavior of xattrs. Look for an alias of the inode. If it can't be found, just leave the inode uninitialized (and pick it up later) if it can be found, we should be able to call selinux_proc_get_sid() ..." On a system exhibiting this problem, you will notice a lot of files in /proc with the generic "proc_t" type (at least the ones that were accessed early in the boot), for example: # ls -Z /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }' system_u:object_r:proc_t:s0 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax However, with this patch in place we see the expected result: # ls -Z /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }' system_u:object_r:sysctl_kernel_t:s0 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Example: # cat mmap_test.c #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/mman.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int rc; void *mem; mem = mmap(0x0, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (mem == MAP_FAILED) return errno; printf("mem = %p\n", mem); munmap(mem, 4096); return 0; } # gcc -g -O0 -o mmap_test mmap_test.c # ./mmap_test mem = (nil) # ausearch -m AVC | grep mmap_zero type=AVC msg=audit(...): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=1025 comm="mmap_test" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect This patch corrects things so that when the above example is run by a user without CAP_SYS_RAWIO the SELinux AVC is no longer generated as the DAC capability check fails before the SELinux permission check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert "selinux: consider filesystem subtype in policies" This reverts commit 102aefdda4d8275ce7d7100bc16c88c74272b260. Explanation from Eric Paris: SELinux policy can specify if it should use a filesystem's xattrs or not. In current policy we have a specification that fuse should not use xattrs but fuse.glusterfs should use xattrs. This patch has a bug in which non-glusterfs filesystems would match the rule saying fuse.glusterfs should use xattrs. If both fuse and the particular filesystem in question are not written to handle xattr calls during the mount command, they will deadlock. I have fixed the bug to do proper matching, however I believe a revert is still the correct solution. The reason I believe that is because the code still does not work. The s_subtype is not set until after the SELinux hook which attempts to match on the ".gluster" portion of the rule. So we cannot match on the rule in question. The code is useless.

Tom London reports that it causes sync() to hang on Fedora rawhide: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033965 and Josh Boyer bisected it down to this commit. Reverting the commit in the rawhide kernel fixes the problem. Eric Paris root-caused it to incorrect subtype matching in that commit breaking fuse, and has a tentative patch, but by now we're better off retrying this in 3.14 rather than playing with it any more.

Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor" and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling, here's the explanation from David Howells on that: "Okay. There are a number of separate bits. I'll go over the big bits and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just fixes and cleanups. If you want the small bits accounting for, I can do that too. (1) Keyring capacity expansion. KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access KEYS: Introduce a search context structure KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID Add a generic associative array implementation. KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a keyring. Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page. Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box. However, since the NFS idmapper uses a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to the cause. Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings may point to a single key. This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node struct into the key struct for this purpose. I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored in the keyring. It would, however, be able to use much existing code. I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio. I could have used the radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over the whole radix tree. Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree. So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key type pointer and the key description. This means that an exact lookup by type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to the target key. I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a pointer. It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it also. FS-Cache might, for example. (2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'. KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the addition or linkage of trusted keys. Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel during build are marked as being trusted automatically. New keys can be loaded at runtime with add_key(). They are checked against the system keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can thus be added into the master keyring. Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also. (3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature. X.509: Remove certificate date checks It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is loaded - so just remove those checks. (4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel. KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509" into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section. (5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings. KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs. We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more easily. To make this work, two things were needed: (a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them. The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out happens), so neither of these places is suitable. I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is created for each UID on request. Each time a user requests their persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew. If the user doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically expired and garbage collected using the existing gc. All the kerberos tokens it held are then also gc'd. (b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size). The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots of auxiliary data attached. We don't, however, want to eat up huge tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an inode and a dentry overhead. If the ticket is smaller than that, we slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer" * 'for-linus2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (121 commits) KEYS: Fix keyring content gc scanner KEYS: Fix error handling in big_key instantiation KEYS: Fix UID check in keyctl_get_persistent() KEYS: The RSA public key algorithm needs to select MPILIB ima: define '_ima' as a builtin 'trusted' keyring ima: extend the measurement list to include the file signature kernel/system_certificate.S: use real contents instead of macro GLOBAL() KEYS: fix error return code in big_key_instantiate() KEYS: Fix keyring quota misaccounting on key replacement and unlink KEYS: Fix a race between negating a key and reading the error set KEYS: Make BIG_KEYS boolean apparmor: remove the "task" arg from may_change_ptraced_domain() apparmor: remove parent task info from audit logging apparmor: remove tsk field from the apparmor_audit_struct apparmor: fix capability to not use the current task, during reporting Smack: Ptrace access check mode ima: provide hash algo info in the xattr ima: enable support for larger default filedata hash algorithms ima: define kernel parameter 'ima_template=' to change configured default ima: add Kconfig default measurement list template ...
