[AUDIT] LOGIN message credentials

2005-04-29T16:30:07Z

Attached is a new patch that solves the issue of getting valid credentials into the LOGIN message. The current code was assuming that the audit context had already been copied. This is not always the case for LOGIN messages. To solve the problem, the patch passes the task struct to the function that emits the message where it can get valid credentials.

Add audit uid to netlink credentials

2005-04-29T15:27:17Z

Most audit control messages are sent over netlink.In order to properly log the identity of the sender of audit control messages, we would like to add the loginuid to the netlink_creds structure, as per the attached patch. Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

audit: update pointer to userspace tools, remove emacs mode tags

[AUDIT] Fix signedness of 'serial' in various routines.

2005-04-29T15:09:52Z

Attached is a patch that corrects a signed/unsigned warning. I also noticed that we needlessly init serial to 0. That only needs to occur if the kernel was compiled without the audit system. -Steve Grubb Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

[AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.

2005-04-29T15:08:28Z

We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments, but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that. While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made, because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall. Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register rather than only returning a single register. Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

AUDIT: Avoid log pollution by untrusted strings.

2005-04-29T14:54:44Z

We log strings from userspace, such as arguments to open(). These could be formatted to contain \n followed by fake audit log entries. Provide a function for logging such strings, which gives a hex dump when the string contains anything but basic printable ASCII characters. Use it for logging filenames.

[PATCH] SELinux: fix deadlock on dcache lock

2005-04-18T17:47:35Z

This fixes a deadlock on the dcache lock detected during testing at IBM by moving the logging of the current executable information from the SELinux avc_audit function to audit_log_exit (via an audit_log_task_info helper) for processing upon syscall exit. For consistency, the patch also removes the logging of other task-related information from avc_audit, deferring handling to audit_log_exit instead. This allows simplification of the avc_audit code, allows the exe information to be obtained more reliably, always includes the comm information (useful for scripts), and avoids including bogus task information for checks performed from irq or softirq.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
