2010-12-01SELinux: standardize return code handling in selinuxfs.cEric Paris1-171/+157
selinuxfs.c has lots of different standards on how to handle return paths on error. For the most part transition to rc=errno if (failure) goto out; [...] out: cleanup() return rc; Instead of doing cleanup mid function, or having multiple returns or other options. This doesn't do that for every function, but most of the complex functions which have cleanup routines on error. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-10-21SELinux: allow userspace to read policy back out of the kernelEric Paris9-2/+1158

2010-10-21SELinux: drop useless (and incorrect) AVTAB_MAX_SIZEEric Paris2-3/+2
AVTAB_MAX_SIZE was a define which was supposed to be used in userspace to define a maximally sized avtab when userspace wasn't sure how big of a table it needed. It doesn't make sense in the kernel since we always know our table sizes. The only place it is used we have a more appropiately named define called AVTAB_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS, use that instead.

2010-10-21security: secid_to_secctx returns len when data is NULLEric Paris1-2/+9
With the (long ago) interface change to have the secid_to_secctx functions do the string allocation instead of having the caller do the allocation we lost the ability to query the security server for the length of the upcoming string. The SECMARK code would like to allocate a netlink skb with enough length to hold the string but it is just too unclean to do the string allocation twice or to do the allocation the first time and hold onto the string and slen. This patch adds the ability to call security_secid_to_secctx() with a NULL data pointer and it will just set the slen pointer.

2010-10-21selinux: really fix dependency causing parallel compile failure.Paul Gortmaker1-9/+0
While the previous change to the selinux Makefile reduced the window significantly for this failure, it is still possible to see a compile failure where cpp starts processing selinux files before the auto generated flask.h file is completed. This is easily reproduced by adding the following temporary change to expose the issue everytime: - cmd_flask = scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders ... + cmd_flask = sleep 30 ; scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders ... This failure happens because the creation of the object files in the ss subdir also depends on flask.h. So simply incorporate them into the parent Makefile, as the ss/Makefile really doesn't do anything unique. With this change, compiling of all selinux files is dependent on completion of the header file generation, and this test case with the "sleep 30" now confirms it is functioning as expected.

2010-10-21selinux: fast status update interface (/selinux/status)KaiGai Kohei3-1/+133
This patch provides a new /selinux/status entry which allows applications read-only mmap(2). This region reflects selinux_kernel_status structure in kernel space. struct selinux_kernel_status { u32 length; /* length of this structure */ u32 sequence; /* sequence number of seqlock logic */ u32 enforcing; /* current setting of enforcing mode */ u32 policyload; /* times of policy reloaded */ u32 deny_unknown; /* current setting of deny_unknown */ }; When userspace object manager caches access control decisions provided by SELinux, it needs to invalidate the cache on policy reload and setenforce to keep consistency. However, the applications need to check the kernel state for each accesses on userspace avc, or launch a background worker process. In heuristic, frequency of invalidation is much less than frequency of making access control decision, so it is annoying to invoke a system call to check we don't need to invalidate the userspace cache. If we can use a background worker thread, it allows to receive invalidation messages from the kernel. But it requires us an invasive coding toward the base application in some cases; E.g, when we provide a feature performing with SELinux as a plugin module, it is unwelcome manner to launch its own worker thread from the module. If we could map /selinux/status to process memory space, application can know updates of selinux status; policy reload or setenforce. A typical application checks selinux_kernel_status::sequence when it tries to reference userspace avc. If it was changed from the last time when it checked userspace avc, it means something was updated in the kernel space. Then, the application can reset userspace avc or update current enforcing mode, without any system call invocations. This sequence number is updated according to the seqlock logic, so we need to wait for a while if it is odd number.

2010-08-02selinux: convert the policy type_attr_map to flex_arrayEric Paris3-13/+39
Current selinux policy can have over 3000 types. The type_attr_map in policy is an array sized by the number of types times sizeof(struct ebitmap) (12 on x86_64). Basic math tells us the array is going to be of length 3000 x 12 = 36,000 bytes. The largest 'safe' allocation on a long running system is 16k. Most of the time a 32k allocation will work. But on long running systems a 64k allocation (what we need) can fail quite regularly. In order to deal with this I am converting the type_attr_map to use flex_arrays. Let the library code deal with breaking this into PAGE_SIZE pieces. -v2 rework some of the if(!obj) BUG() to be BUG_ON(!obj) drop flex_array_put() calls and just use a _get() object directly -v3 make apply to James' tree (drop the policydb_write changes) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Stephen D.

2010-08-02selinux: cleanup return codes in avtab_read_item()Dan Carpenter1-20/+19
The avtab_read_item() function tends to return -1 as a default error code which is wrong (-1 means -EPERM). I modified it to return appropriate error codes which is -EINVAL or the error code from next_entry() or insertf(). next_entry() returns -EINVAL. insertf() is a function pointer to either avtab_insert() or cond_insertf(). avtab_insert() returns -EINVAL, -ENOMEM, and -EEXIST. cond_insertf() currently returns -1, but I will fix it in a later patch. There is code in avtab_read() which translates the -1 returns from avtab_read_item() to -EINVAL. The translation is no longer needed, so I removed it.

This patch removes dead code in type_attribute_bounds_av(). Due to the historical reason, the type boundary feature is delivered from hierarchical types in libsepol, it has supported boundary features both of subject type (domain; in most cases) and target type. However, we don't have any actual use cases in bounded target types, and it tended to make conceptual confusion. So, this patch removes the dead code to apply boundary checks on the target types.

2010-01-18selinux: change the handling of unknown classesStephen Smalley1-105/+81
If allow_unknown==deny, SELinux treats an undefined kernel security class as an error condition rather than as a typical permission denial and thus does not allow permissions on undefined classes even when in permissive mode. Change the SELinux logic so that this case is handled as a typical permission denial, subject to the usual permissive mode and permissive domain handling. Also drop the 'requested' argument from security_compute_av() and helpers as it is a legacy of the original security server interface and is unused. Changes: - Handle permissive domains consistently by moving up the test for a permissive domain. - Make security_compute_av_user() consistent with security_compute_av(); the only difference now is that security_compute_av() performs mapping between the kernel-private class and permission indices and the policy values. In the userspace case, this mapping is handled by libselinux. - Moved avd_init inside the policy lock. Based in part on a patch by Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com>.

2009-11-24SELinux: print denials for buggy kernel with unknown permsEric Paris1-0/+7
Historically we've seen cases where permissions are requested for classes where they do not exist. In particular we have seen CIFS forget to set i_mode to indicate it is a directory so when we later check something like remove_name we have problems since it wasn't defined in tclass file. This used to result in a avc which included the permission 0x2000 or something. Currently the kernel will deny the operations (good thing) but will not print ANY information (bad thing). First the auditdeny field is no extended to include unknown permissions. After that is fixed the logic in avc_dump_query to output this information isn't right since it will remove the permission from the av and print the phrase "<NULL>".

2009-10-07selinux: drop remapping of netlink classesStephen Smalley1-25/+0
Drop remapping of netlink classes and bypass of permission checking based on netlink message type for policy version < 18. This removes compatibility code introduced when the original single netlink security class used for all netlink sockets was split into finer-grained netlink classes based on netlink protocol and when permission checking was added based on netlink message type in Linux 2.6.8. The only known distribution that shipped with SELinux and policy < 18 was Fedora Core 2, which was EOL'd on 2005-04-11. Given that the remapping code was never updated to address the addition of newer netlink classes, that the corresponding userland support was dropped in 2005, and that the assumptions made by the remapping code about the fixed ordering among netlink classes in the policy may be violated in the future due to the dynamic class/perm discovery support, we should drop this compatibility code now.

2009-10-07selinux: dynamic class/perm discoveryStephen Smalley4-257/+339
Modify SELinux to dynamically discover class and permission values upon policy load, based on the dynamic object class/perm discovery logic from libselinux. A mapping is created between kernel-private class and permission indices used outside the security server and the policy values used within the security server. The mappings are only applied upon kernel-internal computations; similar mappings for the private indices of userspace object managers is handled on a per-object manager basis by the userspace AVC. The interfaces for compute_av and transition_sid are split for kernel vs. userspace; the userspace functions are distinguished by a _user suffix. The kernel-private class indices are no longer tied to the policy values and thus do not need to skip indices for userspace classes; thus the kernel class index values are compressed. The flask.h definitions were regenerated by deleting the userspace classes from refpolicy's definitions and then regenerating the headers. Going forward, we can just maintain the flask.h, av_permissions.h, and classmap.h definitions separately from policy as they are no longer tied to the policy values. The next patch introduces a utility to automate generation of flask.h and av_permissions.h from the classmap.h definitions. The older kernel class and permission string tables are removed and replaced by a single security class mapping table that is walked at policy load to generate the mapping. The old kernel class validation logic is completely replaced by the mapping logic. The handle unknown logic is reworked. reject_unknown=1 is handled when the mappings are computed at policy load time, similar to the old handling by the class validation logic. allow_unknown=1 is handled when computing and mapping decisions - if the permission was not able to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then it is automatically added to the allowed vector. If the class was not able to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then all permissions are allowed for it if allow_unknown=1. avc_audit leverages the new security class mapping table to lookup the class and permission names from the kernel-private indices. The mdp program is updated to use the new table when generating the class definitions and allow rules for a minimal boot policy for the kernel. It should be noted that this policy will not include any userspace classes, nor will its policy index values for the kernel classes correspond with the ones in refpolicy (they will instead match the kernel-private indices).
