2007-10-17Implement file posix capabilitiesSerge E. Hallyn1-27/+47
Implement file posix capabilities. This allows programs to be given a subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers. This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Changelog: Nov 27: Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton (security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix) Fix Kconfig dependency. Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in. Nov 13: Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t. Nov 13: Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey Dobriyan. Nov 09: Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper function. Nov 08: For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Nov 07: Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in check_cap_sanity(). Nov 07: Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since capabilities are the default. Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY. Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce audit messages. Nov 05: Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file cap support can be stacked. Sep 05: As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place for capability code. Sep 01: Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which they called a program with some fscaps. One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a cpuset? It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check, fixing it might be tough. task_setscheduler note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset? task_setioprio task_setnice sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another process. Need same checks as setrlimit Aug 21: Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process might still have elevated caps. Aug 15: Handle endianness of xattrs. Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk. Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are set, else return -EPERM. With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than d_instantiate. Aug 10: Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than caching it at d_instantiate.

2007-10-17security: Convert LSM into a static interfaceJames Morris2-2/+1
Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the overall security architecture. Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API abuse. Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified at boot. The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed. In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

2007-10-17SELinux: improve performance when AVC misses.KaiGai Kohei4-237/+303
* We add ebitmap_for_each_positive_bit() which enables to walk on any positive bit on the given ebitmap, to improve its performance using common bit-operations defined in linux/bitops.h. In the previous version, this logic was implemented using a combination of ebitmap_for_each_bit() and ebitmap_node_get_bit(), but is was worse in performance aspect. This logic is most frequestly used to compute a new AVC entry, so this patch can improve SELinux performance when AVC misses are happen. * struct ebitmap_node is redefined as an array of "unsigned long", to get suitable for using find_next_bit() which is fasted than iteration of shift and logical operation, and to maximize memory usage allocated from general purpose slab. * Any ebitmap_for_each_bit() are repleced by the new implementation in ss/service.c and ss/mls.c. Some of related implementation are changed, however, there is no incompatibility with the previous version. * The width of any new line are less or equal than 80-chars. The following benchmark shows the effect of this patch, when we access many files which have different security context one after another. The number is more than /selinux/avc/cache_threshold, so any access always causes AVC misses. selinux-2.6 selinux-2.6-ebitmap AVG: 22.763 [s] 8.750 [s] STD: 0.265 0.019 ------------------------------------------ 1st: 22.558 [s] 8.786 [s] 2nd: 22.458 [s] 8.750 [s] 3rd: 22.478 [s] 8.754 [s] 4th: 22.724 [s] 8.745 [s] 5th: 22.918 [s] 8.748 [s] 6th: 22.905 [s] 8.764 [s] 7th: 23.238 [s] 8.726 [s] 8th: 22.822 [s] 8.729 [s] Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2007-10-17SELinux: policy selectable handling of unknown classes and permsEric Paris5-9/+106
Allow policy to select, in much the same way as it selects MLS support, how the kernel should handle access decisions which contain either unknown classes or unknown permissions in known classes. The three choices for the policy flags are 0 - Deny unknown security access. (default) 2 - reject loading policy if it does not contain all definitions 4 - allow unknown security access The policy's choice is exported through 2 booleans in selinuxfs. /selinux/deny_unknown and /selinux/reject_unknown.

2007-10-11[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlinkEric W. Biederman1-2/+3
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-11[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman1-0/+4
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

2007-07-22[PATCH] get rid of AVC_PATH postponed treatmentAl Viro1-7/+8
Selinux folks had been complaining about the lack of AVC_PATH records when audit is disabled. I must admit my stupidity - I assumed that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held). Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way. It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those. Since audit_log_d_path() uses ab->gfp_mask for allocations, kmalloc() in there is not a problem. IOW, the simple fix is sufficient: let's rip AUDIT_AVC_PATH out and simply generate pathname as part of main record. It's trivial to do.

2007-07-19SELinux: enable dynamic activation/deactivation of NetLabel/SELinux enforcementPaul Moore1-0/+8
Create a new NetLabel KAPI interface, netlbl_enabled(), which reports on the current runtime status of NetLabel based on the existing configuration. LSMs that make use of NetLabel, i.e. SELinux, can use this new function to determine if they should perform NetLabel access checks. This patch changes the NetLabel/SELinux glue code such that SELinux only enforces NetLabel related access checks when netlbl_enabled() returns true. At present NetLabel is considered to be enabled when there is at least one labeled protocol configuration present. The result is that by default NetLabel is considered to be disabled, however, as soon as an administrator configured a CIPSO DOI definition NetLabel is enabled and SELinux starts enforcing NetLabel related access controls - including unlabeled packet controls. This patch also tries to consolidate the multiple "#ifdef CONFIG_NETLABEL" blocks into a single block to ease future review as recommended by Linus.

Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as well, thus violating its semantics. [ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ... untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ] The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH.

2007-07-16Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac1-0/+2
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.

2007-07-12security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmapEric Paris5-4/+12
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting to mmap to low area of the address space. The amount of space protected is indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to 0, preserving existing behavior. This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea) Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

In security_get_user_sids, move the transition permission checks outside of the section holding the policy rdlock, and use the AVC to perform the checks, calling cond_resched after each one. These changes should allow preemption between the individual checks and enable caching of the results. It may however increase the overall time spent in the function in some cases, particularly in the cache miss case. The long term fix will be to take much of this logic to userspace by exporting additional state via selinuxfs, and ultimately deprecating and eliminating this interface from the kernel.

2007-07-12selinux: introduce schedule points in policydb_destroy()Eric Paris1-0/+7
During the LSPP testing we found that it was possible for policydb_destroy() to take 10+ seconds of kernel time to complete. Basically all policydb_destroy() does is walk some (possibly long) lists and free the memory it finds. Turning off slab debugging config options made the problem go away since the actual functions which took most of the time were (as seen by oprofile) > 121202 23.9879 .check_poison_obj > 78247 15.4864 .check_slabp were caused by that. So I decided to also add some voluntary schedule points in that code so config voluntary preempt would be enough to solve the problem. Something similar was done in places like shmem_free_pages() when we have to walk a list of memory and free it. This was tested by the LSPP group on the hardware which could reproduce the problem just loading a new policy and was found to not trigger the softlock detector. It takes just as much processing time, but the kernel doesn't spend all that time stuck doing one thing and never scheduling. Someday a better way to handle memory might make the time needed in this function a lot less, but this fixes the current issue as it stands today.

The inode of the permission file % 33 is the index of the permission for that class. Signed-off-by: Christopher J. PeBenito <cpebenito@tresys.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2007-06-09[NetLabel]: consolidate the struct socket/sock handling to just struct sockPaul Moore1-15/+21
The current NetLabel code has some redundant APIs which allow both "struct socket" and "struct sock" types to be used; this may have made sense at some point but it is wasteful now. Remove the functions that operate on sockets and convert the callers. Not only does this make the code smaller and more consistent but it pushes the locking burden up to the caller which can be more intelligent about the locks. Also, perform the same conversion (socket to sock) on the SELinux/NetLabel glue code where it make sense.

2007-05-08tty: introduce no_tty and use it in selinuxEric W. Biederman1-4/+3
While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty. We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code. This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received a SIGHUP it was expecting. In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-04-26selinux: preserve boolean values across policy reloadsStephen Smalley1-0/+38
At present, the userland policy loading code has to go through contortions to preserve boolean values across policy reloads, and cannot do so atomically. As this is what we always want to do for reloads, let the kernel preserve them instead.

Up until this patch the functions which have provided NetLabel support to SELinux have been integrated into the SELinux security server, which for various reasons is not really ideal. This patch makes an effort to extract as much of the NetLabel support from the security server as possibile and move it into it's own file within the SELinux directory structure.
