2008-01-30NetLabel: Remove unneeded RCU read locksPaul Moore
This patch removes some unneeded RCU read locks as we can treat the reads as "safe" even without RCU. It also converts the NetLabel configuration refcount from a spinlock protected u32 into atomic_t to be more consistent with the rest of the kernel.

2007-10-26[NetLabel]: correct usage of RCU lockingPaul Moore
This fixes some awkward, and perhaps even problematic, RCU lock usage in the NetLabel code as well as some other related trivial cleanups found when looking through the RCU locking. Most of the changes involve removing the redundant RCU read locks wrapping spinlocks in the case of a RCU writer. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[NETLINK]: Introduce nested and byteorder flag to netlink attributeThomas Graf
This change allows the generic attribute interface to be used within the netfilter subsystem where this flag was initially introduced. The byte-order flag is yet unused, it's intended use is to allow automatic byte order convertions for all atomic types. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-08-07[NetLabel]: add missing rcu_dereference() calls in the LSM domain mapping ↵Paul Moore
hash table The LSM domain mapping head table pointer was not being referenced via the RCU safe dereferencing function, rcu_dereference(). This patch adds those missing calls to the NetLabel code. This has been tested using recent linux-2.6 git kernels with no visible regressions. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-08-02Net/Security: fix memory leaks from security_secid_to_secctx()Paul Moore
The security_secid_to_secctx() function returns memory that must be freed by a call to security_release_secctx() which was not always happening. This patch fixes two of these problems (all that I could find in the kernel source at present).

2007-07-19SELinux: enable dynamic activation/deactivation of NetLabel/SELinux enforcementPaul Moore
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.

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.

2007-06-08[NetLabel]: consolidate the struct socket/sock handling to just struct sockPaul Moore
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.

2007-04-26SELinux: extract the NetLabel SELinux support from the security serverPaul Moore
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.

2007-01-09NetLabel: correct CIPSO tag handling when adding new DOI definitionsPaul Moore
The current netlbl_cipsov4_add_common() function has two problems which are fixed with this patch. The first is an off-by-one bug where it is possibile to overflow the doi_def->tags[] array. The second is a bug where the same doi_def->tags[] array was not always fully initialized, which caused sporadic failures.

2006-12-22NetLabel: correctly fill in unused CIPSOv4 level and category mappingsPaul Moore
Back when the original NetLabel patches were being changed to use Netlink attributes correctly some code was accidentially dropped which set all of the undefined CIPSOv4 level and category mappings to a sentinel value. The result is the mappings data in the kernel contains bogus mappings which always map to zero. This patch restores the old/correct behavior by initializing the mapping data to the correct sentinel value.

2006-12-22NetLabel: perform input validation earlier on CIPSOv4 DOI add opsPaul Moore
There are a couple of cases where the user input for a CIPSOv4 DOI add operation was not being done soon enough; the result was unexpected behavior which was resulting in oops/panics/lockups on some platforms. This patch moves the existing input validation code earlier in the code path to protect against bogus user input.

2006-12-02NetLabel: convert to an extensibile/sparse category bitmapPaul Moore
The original NetLabel category bitmap was a straight char bitmap which worked fine for the initial release as it only supported 240 bits due to limitations in the CIPSO restricted bitmap tag (tag type 0x01). This patch converts that straight char bitmap into an extensibile/sparse bitmap in order to lay the foundation for other CIPSO tag types and protocols. This patch also has a nice side effect in that all of the security attributes passed by NetLabel into the LSM are now in a format which is in the host's native byte/bit ordering which makes the LSM specific code much simpler; look at the changes in security/selinux/ss/ebitmap.c as an example.

2006-12-02NetLabel: honor the audit_enabled flagPaul Moore
The audit_enabled flag is used to signal when syscall auditing is to be performed. While NetLabel uses a Netlink interface instead of syscalls, it is reasonable to consider the NetLabel Netlink interface as a form of syscall so pay attention to the audit_enabled flag when generating audit messages in NetLabel.

2006-12-02NetLabel: check for a CIPSOv4 option before we do call into the CIPSOv4 layerPaul Moore
Right now the NetLabel code always jumps into the CIPSOv4 layer to determine if a CIPSO IP option is present. However, we can do this check directly in the NetLabel code by making use of the CIPSO_V4_OPTEXIST() macro which should save us a function call in the common case of not having a CIPSOv4 option present.

2006-12-02NetLabel: make netlbl_lsm_secattr struct easier/quicker to understandPaul Moore
The existing netlbl_lsm_secattr struct required the LSM to check all of the fields to determine if any security attributes were present resulting in a lot of work in the common case of no attributes. This patch adds a 'flags' field which is used to indicate which attributes are present in the structure; this should allow the LSM to do a quick comparison to determine if the structure holds any security attributes. Example: if (netlbl_lsm_secattr->flags) /* security attributes present */ else /* NO security attributes present */ Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2006-12-02NetLabel: convert the unlabeled accept flag to use RCUPaul Moore
