linux/kernel/audit.h, branch v4.1

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit

2015-04-22T21:49:23Z

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore: "Seven audit patches for v4.1, all bug fixes. The largest, and perhaps most significant commit helps resolve some memory pressure issues related to the inode cache and audit, there are also a few small commits which help resolve some timing issues with the audit log queue, and the rest fall into the always popular "code clean-up" category. In general, nothing really substantial, just a nice set of maintenance patches" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: Remove condition which always evaluates to false audit: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file audit: consolidate handling of mm->exe_file audit: code clean up audit: don't reset working wait time accidentally with auditd audit: don't lose set wait time on first successful call to audit_log_start() audit: move the tree pruning to a dedicated thread

audit: consolidate handling of mm->exe_file

2015-02-23T21:55:47Z

This patch adds a audit_log_d_path_exe() helper function to share how we handle auditing of the exe_file's path. Used by both audit and auditsc. No functionality is changed. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso [PM: tweaked subject line] Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters

2015-01-23T05:23:58Z

In order to ensure that filenames are not released before the audit subsystem is done with the strings there are a number of hacks built into the fs and audit subsystems around getname() and putname(). To say these hacks are "ugly" would be kind. This patch removes the filename hackery in favor of a more conventional reference count based approach. The diffstat below tells most of the story; lots of audit/fs specific code is replaced with a traditional reference count based approach that is easily understood, even by those not familiar with the audit and/or fs subsystems.

audit: reduce scope of audit_log_fcaps

2014-09-23T20:37:51Z

audit_log_fcaps() isn't used outside kernel/audit.c. Reduce its scope. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs

audit: Use struct net not pid_t to remember the network namespce to reply in

2014-03-20T14:10:53Z

While reading through 3.14-rc1 I found a pretty siginficant mishandling of network namespaces in the recent audit changes. In struct audit_netlink_list and audit_reply add a reference to the network namespace of the caller and remove the userspace pid of the caller. This cleanly remembers the callers network namespace, and removes a huge class of races and nasty failure modes that can occur when attempting to relook up the callers network namespace from a pid_t (including the caller's network namespace changing, pid wraparound, and the pid simply not being present).

audit: Audit proc//cmdline aka proctitle

2014-03-20T14:10:52Z

During an audit event, cache and print the value of the process's proctitle value (proc//cmdline). This is useful in situations where processes are started via fork'd virtual machines where the comm field is incorrect. Often times, setting the comm field still is insufficient as the comm width is not very wide and most virtual machine "package names" do not fit. Also, during execution, many threads have their comm field set as well. By tying it back to the global cmdline value for the process, audit records will be more complete in systems with these properties. An example of where this is useful and applicable is in the realm of Android. With Android, their is no fork/exec for VM instances. The bare, preloaded Dalvik VM listens for a fork and specialize request. When this request comes in, the VM forks, and the loads the specific application (specializing). This was done to take advantage of COW and to not require a load of basic packages by the VM on very app spawn. When this spawn occurs, the package name is set via setproctitle() and shows up in procfs. Many of these package names are longer then 16 bytes, the historical width of task->comm. Having the cmdline in the audit records will couple the application back to the record directly. Also, on my Debian development box, some audit records were more useful then what was printed under comm. The cached proctitle is tied to the life-cycle of the audit_context structure and is built on demand. Proctitle is controllable by userspace, and thus should not be trusted. It is meant as an aid to assist in debugging. The proctitle event is emitted during syscall audits, and can be filtered with auditctl. Example: type=AVC msg=audit(1391217013.924:386): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1971 comm="mkdir" name="/" dev="selinuxfs" ino=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:consolekit_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:object_r:security_t:s0 tclass=filesystem type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1391217013.924:386): arch=c000003e syscall=137 success=yes exit=0 a0=7f019dfc8bd7 a1=7fffa6aed2c0 a2=fffffffffff4bd25 a3=7fffa6aed050 items=0 ppid=1967 pid=1971 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="mkdir" exe="/bin/mkdir" subj=system_u:system_r:consolekit_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 key=(null) type=UNKNOWN[1327] msg=audit(1391217013.924:386): proctitle=6D6B646972002D70002F7661722F72756E2F636F6E736F6C65 Acked-by: Steve Grubb (wrt record formating) Signed-off-by: William Roberts Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

audit: Convert int limit uses to u32

2014-01-14T19:54:00Z

The equivalent uapi struct uses __u32 so make the kernel uses u32 too. This can prevent some oddities where the limit is logged/emitted as a negative value. Convert kstrtol to kstrtouint to disallow negative values. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches [eparis: do not remove static from audit_default declaration]

audit: listen in all network namespaces

audit: fix netlink portid naming and types

2014-01-14T03:26:52Z

Normally, netlink ports use the PID of the userspace process as the port ID. If the PID is already in use by a port, the kernel will allocate another port ID to avoid conflict. Re-name all references to netlink ports from pid to portid to reflect this reality and avoid confusion with actual PIDs. Ports use the __u32 type, so re-type all portids accordingly.

audit: call audit_bprm() only once to add AUDIT_EXECVE information

2013-11-05T16:15:03Z

Move the audit_bprm() call from search_binary_handler() to exec_binprm(). This allows us to get rid of the mm member of struct audit_aux_data_execve since bprm->mm will equal current->mm. This also mitigates the issue that ->argc could be modified by the load_binary() call in search_binary_handler(). audit_bprm() was being called to add an AUDIT_EXECVE record to the audit context every time search_binary_handler() was recursively called. Only one reference is necessary. Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Eric Paris Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs Signed-off-by: Eric Paris --- This patch is against 3.11, but was developed on Oleg's post-3.11 patches that introduce exec_binprm().
