  • Hi,

    I have been working on some code that detects abnormal events based on audit
    system events. One kind of event that we currently have no visibility for is
    when a program terminates due to segfault - which should never happen on a
    production machine. And if it did, you'd want to investigate it. Attached is a
    patch that collects these events and sends them into the audit system.

  • Make more effort to detect previously collected names, so we don't log
    multiple PATH records for a single filesystem object. Add
    audit_inc_name_count() to reduce duplicate code.

  • Handle the edge cases for POSIX message queue auditing. Collect inode
    info when opening an existing mq, and for send/receive operations. Remove
    audit_inode_update() as it has really evolved into the equivalent of
    audit_inode().

  • Audit contexts can be reused, so initialize a name's osid to the
    default in audit_getname(). This ensures we don't log a bogus object
    label when no inode data is collected for a name.

  • When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security
    context for each target process. Optimize the data collection by
    adding a counter for signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an
    aux struct unless we have more than one target process. For process
    groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16. Move the
    audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit
    attempts where permission is denied.

  • Fix the locking of signal->tty.

    Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
    by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current'
    or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.

    (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)

    Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
    tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
    are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty
    access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).

    It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.

    (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
    be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
    it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
    invocations)

  • Hi,

    This patch removes the rdev logging from the previous patch

    The below patch closes an unbounded use of name_count. This can lead to oopses
    in some new file systems.

  • Add tty locking around the audit and accounting code.

    The whole current->signal-> locking is all deeply strange but it's for
    someone else to sort out. Add rather than replace the lock for acct.c

  • Add support for a rule key, which can be used to tie audit records to audit
    rules. This is useful when a watched file is accessed through a link or
    symlink, as well as for general audit log analysis.

    Because this patch uses a string key instead of an integer key, there is a bit
    of extra overhead to do the kstrdup() when a rule fires. However, we're also
    allocating memory for the audit record buffer, so it's probably not that
    significant. I went ahead with a string key because it seems more
    user-friendly.

    Note that the user must ensure that filterkeys are unique. The kernel only
    checks for duplicate rules.

  • Hi,

    I was doing some testing and noticed that when the audit system was disabled,
    I was still getting messages about the loginuid being set. The following patch
    makes audit_set_loginuid look at in_syscall to determine if it should create
    an audit event. The loginuid will continue to be set as long as there is a context.

  • When an audit event involves changes to a directory entry, include
    a PATH record for the directory itself. A few other notable changes:

    - fixed audit_inode_child() hooks in fsnotify_move()
    - removed unused flags arg from audit_inode()
    - added audit log routines for logging a portion of a string

    Here's some sample output.

  • In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent
    directories of paths specified in audit rules. When audit's inotify
    event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the
    filesystem event. If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its
    filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that
    inotify watch.

    To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based
    auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory. Given
    a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:

    passwd modified -- audit event logged
    passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated
    bar renamed -- rule removed
    foo renamed -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to
    the new location

    Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem
    objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance. This
    patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this
    situation.

    The patch is relative to the audit git tree:
    http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary
    and uses the inotify kernel API:
    http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/1/145

  • This patch adds audit support to POSIX message queues. It applies cleanly to
    the lspp.b15 branch of Al Viro's git tree. There are new auxiliary data
    structures, and collection and emission routines in kernel/auditsc.c. New hooks
    in ipc/mqueue.c collect arguments from the syscalls.

    I tested the patch by building the examples from the POSIX MQ library tarball.
    Build them -lrt, not against the old MQ library in the tarball. Here's the URL:
    http://www.geocities.com/wronski12/posix_ipc/libmqueue-4.41.tar.gz
    Do auditctl -a exit,always -S for mq_open, mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive,
    mq_notify, mq_getsetattr. mq_unlink has no new hooks. Please see the
    corresponding userspace patch to get correct output from auditd for the new
    record types.

  • The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM
    records as described in:
    https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html
    and addresses the comments I received on the record field names.

    To summarize, I made the following changes:

    1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM
    record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case.
    This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl(). I could simplify the
    code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean
    that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record
    without an IPC record and that seemed odd.

    2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward
    compatibility question.

    3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record. It wasn't being
    set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the
    information isn't available. If we want the information in the IPC
    record, more extensive changes will be necessary. Since it only
    applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it
    doesn't seem worth it.

    4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record. This means that
    the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed.

    5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names. Replaced iuid and
    igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record.

    I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box. I believe it
    applies cleanly on the latest kernel.
