The problem is that network sockets\ncreated as the result of an incoming TCP connection were not on-the-wire\nlabeled based on the security attributes of the parent socket but rather based\non the wire label of the remote peer. The issue had to do with how IP options\nwere managed as part of the network stack and where the LSM hooks were in\nrelation to the code which set the IP options on these newly created child\nsockets. While NetLabel/SELinux did correctly set the socket\u0027s on-the-wire\nlabel it was promptly cleared by the network stack and reset based on the IP\noptions of the remote peer.\n\nThis patch, in conjunction with a prior patch that adjusted the LSM hook\nlocations, works to set the correct on-the-wire label format for new incoming\nconnections through the security_inet_conn_request() hook. Besides the\ncorrect behavior there are many advantages to this change, the most significant\nis that all of the NetLabel socket labeling code in SELinux now lives in hooks\nwhich can return error codes to the core stack which allows us to finally get\nride of the selinux_netlbl_inode_permission() logic which greatly simplfies\nthe NetLabel/SELinux glue code.

However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this\nfacility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test,\nwithout affecting the creds as seen from other processes.\n\nOne of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the\neffective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores.\n\nThe affected capability check is in generic_permission():\n\n\tif (!(mask \u0026 MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode))\n\t\tif (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE))\n\t\t\treturn 0;\n\nThis change splits capable() from has_capability() down into the commoncap and\nSELinux code. The capable() security op now only deals with the current\nprocess, and uses the current process\u0027s subjective creds.

The result is stored in\n \t bprm-\u003eunsafe for future reference.\n\n (c) prepare_binprm() is called, possibly multiple times.\n\n \t (i) This applies the result of set[ug]id binaries to the new creds\n \t attached to bprm-\u003ecred. Personality bit clearance is recorded,\n \t but now deferred on the basis that the exec procedure may yet\n \t fail.\n\n (ii) This then calls the new security_bprm_set_creds().

This allows SELinux\n\t in (ii) to base its calculations only on the initial script and\n\t not on the interpreter.\n\n (d) flush_old_exec() is called to commit the task to execution. This\n \t performs the following steps with regard to credentials:\n\n\t (i) Clear pdeath_signal and set dumpable on certain circumstances that\n\t may not be covered by commit_creds().\n\n (ii) Clear any bits in current-\u003epersonality that were deferred from\n (c.i).\n\n (e) install_exec_creds() [compute_creds() as was] is called to install the\n \t new credentials.

Possibly pdeath_signal and dumpable\n should be part of struct creds.\n\n\t (iii) Unlocks the task\u0027s cred_replace_mutex, thus allowing\n\t PTRACE_ATTACH to take place.\n\n (iv) Clears The bprm-\u003ecred pointer as the credentials it was holding\n are now immutable.\n\n (v) Calls security_bprm_committed_creds() to apply any security\n alterations that must be done after the creds have been changed.\n SELinux uses this to flush signals and signal handlers.\n\n (f) If an error occurs before (d.i), bprm_free() will call abort_creds()\n \t to destroy the proposed new credentials and will then unlock\n \t cred_replace_mutex.

All pointers, barring the pointer to the\n \t new creds, are now const.\n\n (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), -\u003ebprm_apply_creds()\n\n \t Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be\n \t killed if it\u0027s an error.\n\n (*) security_task_alloc(), -\u003etask_alloc_security()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().\n\n (*) security_cred_free(), -\u003ecred_free()\n\n \t New. Free security data attached to cred-\u003esecurity.\n\n (*) security_prepare_creds(), -\u003ecred_prepare()\n\n \t New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred-\u003esecurity.\n\n (*) security_commit_creds(), -\u003ecred_commit()\n\n \t New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new\n \t security by commit_creds().\n\n (*) security_task_post_setuid(), -\u003etask_post_setuid()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().\n\n (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), -\u003etask_fix_setuid()\n\n \t Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid(). This is used by\n \t cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with\n \t setuid() changes. Changes are made to the new credentials, rather\n \t than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().\n\n (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), -\u003etask_reparent_to_init()\n\n \t Removed. Instead the task being reparented to init is referred\n \t directly to init\u0027s credentials.\n\n\t NOTE! This results in the loss of some state: SELinux\u0027s osid no\n\t longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.\n\n (*) security_key_alloc(), -\u003ekey_alloc()\n (*) security_key_permission(), -\u003ekey_permission()\n\n \t Changed. These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to\n \t refer to the security context.\n\n (4) sys_capset().\n\n This has been simplified and uses less locking. The LSM functions it\n calls have been merged.\n\n (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().\n\n This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using\n commit_thread() to point that way.\n\n (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()\n\n __sigqueue_alloc() can\u0027t stop the target task from changing its creds\n beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable\n user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if\n successful.\n\n switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be\n folded into that. commit_creds() should take care of protecting\n __sigqueue_alloc().\n\n (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.\n\n The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and\n abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying\n it.\n\n security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section. This\n guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we\u0027ve finished.\n\n The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().\n\n Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into\n commit_creds().\n\n The get functions all simply access the data directly.\n\n (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().\n\n security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn\u0027t\n want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly\n rather than through an argument.\n\n Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even\n if it doesn\u0027t end up using it.\n\n (9) Keyrings.\n\n A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:\n\n (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have\n \t all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.\n \t They may want separating out again later.\n\n (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer\n \t rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.\n\n (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new\n \t thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread\n \t keyring.\n\n (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend\n \t the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.\n\n (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of\n \t credentials to be created, even though it\u0027s not strictly necessary for\n \t process or session keyrings (they\u0027re shared).\n\n(10) Usermode helper.\n\n The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its\n subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer. This set\n of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process\n after it has been cloned.\n\n call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and\n call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven\u0027t been used. A\n special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided\n specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.\n\n call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the\n supplied keyring as the new session keyring.\n\n(11) SELinux.\n\n SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM\n interface changes mentioned above:\n\n (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the\n \t current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock\n \t that covers getting the ptracer\u0027s SID. Whilst this lock ensures that\n \t the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid\n \t until the lock is released, so there\u0027s no point doing it inside the\n \t lock.\n\n(12) is_single_threaded().\n\n This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into\n a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now\n wants to use it too.\n\n The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs\n with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn\u0027t good enough. We really want\n to know if they\u0027re part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).\n\n(13) nfsd.\n\n The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the\n credentials it is going to use. It really needs to pass the credentials\n down to the functions it calls, but it can\u0027t do that until other patches\n in this series have been applied.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "c69e8d9c01db2adc503464993c358901c9af9de4", "tree": "bed94aaa9aeb7a7834d1c880f72b62a11a752c78", "parents": [ "86a264abe542cfececb4df129bc45a0338d8cdb9" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:19 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:19 2008 +1100" }, "message": "CRED: Use RCU to access another task\u0027s creds and to release a task\u0027s own creds\n\nUse RCU to access another task\u0027s creds and to release a task\u0027s own creds.\nThis means that it will be possible for the credentials of a task to be\nreplaced without another task (a) requiring a full lock to read them, and (b)\nseeing deallocated memory.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Serge Hallyn \u003cserue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "86a264abe542cfececb4df129bc45a0338d8cdb9", "tree": "30152f04ba847f311028d5ca697f864c16c7ebb3", "parents": [ "f1752eec6145c97163dbce62d17cf5d928e28a27" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:18 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:18 2008 +1100" }, "message": "CRED: Wrap current-\u003ecred and a few other accessors\n\nWrap current-\u003ecred and a few other accessors to hide their actual\nimplementation.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Serge Hallyn \u003cserue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "f1752eec6145c97163dbce62d17cf5d928e28a27", "tree": "16bc51166d38815092de36a461b845b0b4b522f9", "parents": [ "b6dff3ec5e116e3af6f537d4caedcad6b9e5082a" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:17 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:17 2008 +1100" }, "message": "CRED: Detach the credentials from task_struct\n\nDetach the credentials from task_struct, duplicating them in copy_process()\nand releasing them in __put_task_struct().\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Serge Hallyn \u003cserue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b6dff3ec5e116e3af6f537d4caedcad6b9e5082a", "tree": "9e76f972eb7ce9b84e0146c8e4126a3f86acb428", "parents": [ "15a2460ed0af7538ca8e6c610fe607a2cd9da142" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:16 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:16 2008 +1100" }, "message": "CRED: Separate task security context from task_struct\n\nSeparate the task security context from task_struct.

This allows security\nmodules to permit access to reading process state without granting\nfull ptrace access. The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.\n\nRead access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach\ncheck since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task\nto already be ptracing the target. The other ptrace checks within\nproc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the\nread mode instead of attach.\n\nIn the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a\nreading of a proc file labeled with the target process\u0027 label. This\nenables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without\npermitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are\na number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc\nbut do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,\nlsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit). At present we have to choose between\nallowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)\nor breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials\nvia dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).\n\nThis version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler\n(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access\nmode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).\n\nNote that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and\nptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access\ninterfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0\nor -errno vs. 1 or 0). I retained this difference to avoid any\nchanges to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by\nchanging the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and\nby adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.\n\nSigned-off-by: Stephen Smalley \u003csds@tycho.nsa.gov\u003e\nAcked-by: Chris Wright \u003cchrisw@sous-sol.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e97dcb0eadbb821eccd549d4987b653cf61e2374", "tree": "0dc9cddcac54dcdc35f7e1ddf6e190947ec86320", "parents": [ "246dd412d31e4f5de1d43aa6422a325b785f36e4" ], "author": { "name": "Casey Schaufler", "email": "casey@schaufler-ca.com", "time": "Mon Jun 02 10:04:32 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Jun 04 08:50:43 2008 -0700" }, "message": "Smack: fuse mount hang fix\n\nThe d_instantiate hook for Smack can hang on the root inode of a\nfilesystem if the file system code has not really done all the set-up.\nFuse is known to encounter this problem.\n\nThis change detects an attempt to instantiate a root inode and addresses\nit early in the processing, before any attempt is made to do something\nthat might hang.\n\nSigned-off-by: Casey Schaufler \u003ccasey@schaufler-ca.com\u003e\nTested-by: Luiz Fernando N.

Smack is a kernel based scheme that requires\nan absolute minimum of application support and a very small\namount of configuration data.\n\nSmack uses extended attributes and\nprovides a set of general mount options, borrowing technics used\nelsewhere. Smack uses netlabel for CIPSO labeling. Smack provides\na pseudo-filesystem smackfs that is used for manipulation of\nsystem Smack attributes.\n\nThe patch, patches for ls and sshd, a README, a startup script,\nand x86 binaries for ls and sshd are also available on\n\n http://www.schaufler-ca.com\n\nDevelopment has been done using Fedora Core 7 in a virtual machine\nenvironment and on an old Sony laptop.\n\nSmack provides mandatory access controls based on the label attached\nto a task and the label attached to the object it is attempting to\naccess. Smack labels are deliberately short (1-23 characters) text\nstrings. Single character labels using special characters are reserved\nfor system use. The only operation applied to Smack labels is equality\ncomparison. No wildcards or expressions, regular or otherwise, are\nused. Smack labels are composed of printable characters and may not\ninclude \"/\".\n\nA file always gets the Smack label of the task that created it.\n\nSmack defines and uses these labels:\n\n \"*\" - pronounced \"star\"\n \"_\" - pronounced \"floor\"\n \"^\" - pronounced \"hat\"\n \"?\" - pronounced \"huh\"\n\nThe access rules enforced by Smack are, in order:\n\n1. Any access requested by a task labeled \"*\" is denied.\n2. A read or execute access requested by a task labeled \"^\"\n is permitted.\n3. A read or execute access requested on an object labeled \"_\"\n is permitted.\n4. Any access requested on an object labeled \"*\" is permitted.\n5. Any access requested by a task on an object with the same\n label is permitted.\n6. Any access requested that is explicitly defined in the loaded\n rule set is permitted.\n7. Any other access is denied.\n\nRules may be explicitly defined by writing subject,object,access\ntriples to /smack/load.\n\nSmack rule sets can be easily defined that describe Bell\u0026LaPadula\nsensitivity, Biba integrity, and a variety of interesting\nconfigurations. Smack rule sets can be modified on the fly to\naccommodate changes in the operating environment or even the time\nof day.\n\nSome practical use cases:\n\nHierarchical levels. The less common of the two usual uses\nfor MLS systems is to define hierarchical levels, often\nunclassified, confidential, secret, and so on. To set up smack\nto support this, these rules could be defined:\n\n C Unclass rx\n S C rx\n S Unclass rx\n TS S rx\n TS C rx\n TS Unclass rx\n\nA TS process can read S, C, and Unclass data, but cannot write it.\nAn S process can read C and Unclass. Note that specifying that\nTS can read S and S can read C does not imply TS can read C, it\nhas to be explicitly stated.\n\nNon-hierarchical categories. This is the more common of the\nusual uses for an MLS system. Since the default rule is that a\nsubject cannot access an object with a different label no\naccess rules are required to implement compartmentalization.\n\nA case that the Bell \u0026 LaPadula policy does not allow is demonstrated\nwith this Smack access rule:\n\nA case that Bell\u0026LaPadula does not allow that Smack does:\n\n ESPN ABC r\n ABC ESPN r\n\nOn my portable video device I have two applications, one that\nshows ABC programming and the other ESPN programming. ESPN wants\nto show me sport stories that show up as news, and ABC will\nonly provide minimal information about a sports story if ESPN\nis covering it. Each side can look at the other\u0027s info, neither\ncan change the other. Neither can see what FOX is up to, which\nis just as well all things considered.\n\nAnother case that I especially like:\n\n SatData Guard w\n Guard Publish w\n\nA program running with the Guard label opens a UDP socket and\naccepts messages sent by a program running with a SatData label.\nThe Guard program inspects the message to ensure it is wholesome\nand if it is sends it to a program running with the Publish label.\nThis program then puts the information passed in an appropriate\nplace. Note that the Guard program cannot write to a Publish\nfile system object because file system semanitic require read as\nwell as write.\n\nThe four cases (categories, levels, mutual read, guardbox) here\nare all quite real, and problems I\u0027ve been asked to solve over\nthe years. The first two are easy to do with traditonal MLS systems\nwhile the last two you can\u0027t without invoking privilege, at least\nfor a while.\n\nSigned-off-by: Casey Schaufler \u003ccasey@schaufler-ca.com\u003e\nCc: Joshua Brindle \u003cmethod@manicmethod.com\u003e\nCc: Paul Moore \u003cpaul.moore@hp.com\u003e\nCc: Stephen Smalley \u003csds@tycho.nsa.gov\u003e\nCc: Chris Wright \u003cchrisw@sous-sol.org\u003e\nCc: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nCc: \"Ahmed S.
