The security_secid_to_secctx() function returns memory that must be freed
by a call to security_release_secctx() which was not always happening. This
patch fixes two of these problems (all that I could find in the kernel source
at present).Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still
work).TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY.See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

The audit_enabled flag is used to signal when syscall auditing is to be
performed. While NetLabel uses a Netlink interface instead of syscalls, it is
reasonable to consider the NetLabel Netlink interface as a form of syscall so
pay attention to the audit_enabled flag when generating audit messages in
NetLabel.Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

Fix some issues Steve Grubb had with the way NetLabel was using the audit
subsystem. This should make NetLabel more consistent with other kernel
generated audit messages specifying configuration changes.Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

Adds nlmsg_notify() implementing proper notification logic. The
message is multicasted to all listeners in the group. The
applications the requests orignates from can request a unicast
back report in which case said socket will be excluded from the
multicast to avoid duplicated notifications.nlmsg_multicast() is extended to take allocation flags to
allow notification in atomic contexts.Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf

Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet
labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers. NetLabel is
designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode
security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that
outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security
mechanism employed by the LSM. The NetLabel subsystem is configured
through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files
included in this patch.Signed-off-by: Paul Moore
