LSM: Revive security_task_alloc() hook and per "struct task_struct" security blob.

2017-03-28T00:05:14+00:00

We switched from "struct task_struct"->security to "struct cred"->security in Linux 2.6.29. But not all LSM modules were happy with that change. TOMOYO LSM module is an example which want to use per "struct task_struct" security blob, for TOMOYO's security context is defined based on "struct task_struct" rather than "struct cred". AppArmor LSM module is another example which want to use it, for AppArmor is currently abusing the cred a little bit to store the change_hat and setexeccon info. Although security_task_free() hook was revived in Linux 3.4 because Yama LSM module wanted to release per "struct task_struct" security blob, security_task_alloc() hook and "struct task_struct"->security field were not revived. Nowadays, we are getting proposals of lightweight LSM modules which want to use per "struct task_struct" security blob. We are already allowing multiple concurrent LSM modules (up to one fully armored module which uses "struct cred"->security field or exclusive hooks like security_xfrm_state_pol_flow_match(), plus unlimited number of lightweight modules which do not use "struct cred"->security nor exclusive hooks) as long as they are built into the kernel. But this patch does not implement variable length "struct task_struct"->security field which will become needed when multiple LSM modules want to use "struct task_struct"-> security field. Although it won't be difficult to implement variable length "struct task_struct"->security field, let's think about it after we merged this patch.

LSM: Initialize security_hook_heads upon registration.

2017-03-24T03:24:41+00:00

"struct security_hook_heads" is an array of "struct list_head" where elements can be initialized just before registration. There is no need to waste 350+ lines for initialization. Let's initialize "struct security_hook_heads" just before registration.

security: mark LSM hooks as __ro_after_init

prlimit,security,selinux: add a security hook for prlimit

2017-03-05T23:43:47+00:00

When SELinux was first added to the kernel, a process could only get and set its own resource limits via getrlimit(2) and setrlimit(2), so no MAC checks were required for those operations, and thus no security hooks were defined for them. Later, SELinux introduced a hook for setlimit(2) with a check if the hard limit was being changed in order to be able to rely on the hard limit value as a safe reset point upon context transitions. Later on, when prlimit(2) was added to the kernel with the ability to get or set resource limits (hard or soft) of another process, LSM/SELinux was not updated other than to pass the target process to the setrlimit hook. This resulted in incomplete control over both getting and setting the resource limits of another process. Add a new security_task_prlimit() hook to the check_prlimit_permission() function to provide complete mediation. The hook is only called when acting on another task, and only if the existing DAC/capability checks would allow access. Pass flags down to the hook to indicate whether the prlimit(2) call will read, write, or both read and write the resource limits of the target process. The existing security_task_setrlimit() hook is left alone; it continues to serve a purpose in supporting the ability to make decisions based on the old and/or new resource limit values when setting limits. This is consistent with the DAC/capability logic, where check_prlimit_permission() performs generic DAC/capability checks for acting on another task, while do_prlimit() performs a capability check based on a comparison of the old and new resource limits. Fix the inline documentation for the hook to match the code. Implement the new hook for SELinux. For setting resource limits, we reuse the existing setrlimit permission. Note that this does overload the setrlimit permission to mean the ability to set the resource limit (soft or hard) of another process or the ability to change one's own hard limit. For getting resource limits, a new getrlimit permission is defined. This was not originally defined since getrlimit(2) could only be used to obtain a process' own limits.

LSM: Add /sys/kernel/security/lsm

2017-01-19T02:18:29+00:00

I am still tired of having to find indirect ways to determine what security modules are active on a system. I have added /sys/kernel/security/lsm, which contains a comma separated list of the active security modules. No more groping around in /proc/filesystems or other clever hacks. Unchanged from previous versions except for being updated to the latest security next branch.

security,selinux,smack: kill security_task_wait hook

2017-01-12T16:10:57+00:00

As reported by yangshukui, a permission denial from security_task_wait() can lead to a soft lockup in zap_pid_ns_processes() since it only expects sys_wait4() to return 0 or -ECHILD. Further, security_task_wait() can in general lead to zombies; in the absence of some way to automatically reparent a child process upon a denial, the hook is not useful. Remove the security hook and its implementations in SELinux and Smack. Smack already removed its check from its hook.

proc,security: move restriction on writing /proc/pid/attr nodes to proc

2017-01-09T15:07:31+00:00

Processes can only alter their own security attributes via /proc/pid/attr nodes. This is presently enforced by each individual security module and is also imposed by the Linux credentials implementation, which only allows a task to alter its own credentials. Move the check enforcing this restriction from the individual security modules to proc_pid_attr_write() before calling the security hook, and drop the unnecessary task argument to the security hook since it can only ever be the current task.
