2007-07-16Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac
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.

2007-02-17[PATCH] audit config lockdownSteve Grubb
The following patch adds a new mode to the audit system. It uses the audit_enabled config option to introduce the idea of audit enabled, but configuration is immutable. Any attempt to change the configuration while in this mode is audited. To change the audit rules, you'd need to reboot the machine. To use this option, you'd need a modified version of auditctl and use "-e 2". This is intended to go at the end of the audit.rules file for people that want an immutable configuration. This patch also adds "res=" to a number of configuration commands that did not have it before. Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

When an audit event involves changes to a directory entry, include a PATH record for the directory itself.

2006-06-20[PATCH] audit: path-based rulesAmy Griffis
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 Signed-off-by: Amy Griffis <amy.griffis@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2006-06-20[PATCH] minor audit updatesSerge E. Hallyn
Just a few minor proposed updates. Only the last one will actually affect behavior. The rest are just misleading code. Several AUDIT_SET functions return 'old' value, but only return value <0 is checked for. So just return 0. propagate audit_set_rate_limit and audit_set_backlog_limit error values In audit_buffer_free, the audit_freelist_count was being incremented even when we discard the return buffer, so audit_freelist_count can end up wrong. This could cause the actual freelist to shrink over time, eventually threatening to degrate audit performance. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2006-06-20[PATCH] fix deadlocks in AUDIT_LIST/AUDIT_LIST_RULESAl Viro
We should not send a pile of replies while holding audit_netlink_mutex since we hold the same mutex when we receive commands. As the result, we can get blocked while sending and sit there holding the mutex while auditctl is unable to send the next command and get around to receiving what we'd sent. Solution: create skb and put them into a queue instead of sending; once we are done, send what we've got on the list. The former can be done synchronously while we are handling AUDIT_LIST or AUDIT_LIST_RULES; we are holding audit_netlink_mutex at that point. The latter is done asynchronously and without messing with audit_netlink_mutex. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2006-03-31[PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

2005-07-02AUDIT: Stop waiting for backlog after audit_panic() happensDavid Woodhouse
We force a rate-limit on auditable events by making them wait for space on the backlog queue. However, if auditd really is AWOL then this could potentially bring the entire system to a halt, depending on the audit rules in effect. Firstly, make sure the wait time is honoured correctly -- it's the maximum time the process should wait, rather than the time to wait _each_ time round the loop. We were getting re-woken _each_ time a packet was dequeued, and the timeout was being restarted each time. Secondly, reset the wait time after audit_panic() is called. In general this will be reset to zero, to allow progress to be made. If the system is configured to _actually_ panic on audit_panic() then that will already have happened; otherwise we know that audit records are being lost anyway. These two tunables can't be exposed via AUDIT_GET and AUDIT_SET because those aren't particularly well-designed. It probably should have been done by sysctls or sysfs anyway -- one for a later patch.

2005-06-22AUDIT: Wait for backlog to clear when generating messages.David Woodhouse
Add a gfp_mask to audit_log_start() and audit_log(), to reduce the amount of GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- most of it doesn't need to be GFP_ATOMIC. Also if the mask includes __GFP_WAIT, then wait up to 60 seconds for the auditd backlog to clear instead of immediately abandoning the message. The timeout should probably be made configurable, but for now it'll suffice that it only happens if auditd is actually running. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
