2012-09-13ima: audit log hashesPeter Moody
This adds an 'audit' policy action which audit logs file measurements. Changelog v6: - use new action flag handling (Dmitry Kasatkin). - removed whitespace (Mimi) Changelog v5: - use audit_log_untrustedstring. Changelog v4: - cleanup digest -> hash conversion. - use filename rather than d_path in ima_audit_measurement. Changelog v3: - Use newly exported audit_log_task_info for logging pid/ppid/uid/etc. - Update the ima_policy ABI documentation. Changelog v2: - Use 'audit' action rather than 'measure_and_audit' to permit auditing in the absence of measuring.. Changelog v1: - Initial posting.

2012-09-13ima: generic IMA action flag handlingDmitry Kasatkin
Make the IMA action flag handling generic in order to support additional new actions, without requiring changes to the base implementation. New actions, like audit logging, will only need to modify the define statements. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-09-13task_work: Revert "hold task_lock around checks in keyctl"Oleg Nesterov
This reverts commit d35abdb28824cf74f0a106a0f9c6f3ff700a35bf. task_lock() was added to ensure exit_mm() and thus exit_task_work() is not possible before task_work_add(). This is wrong, task_lock() must not be nested with write_lock(tasklist). And this is no longer needed, task_work_add() now fails if it is called after exit_task_work().

2012-09-08netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_createPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch defines netlink_kernel_create as a wrapper function of __netlink_kernel_create to hide the struct module *me parameter (which seems to be THIS_MODULE in all existing netlink subsystems).

2012-09-08netlink: kill netlink_set_nonrootPablo Neira Ayuso
Replace netlink_set_nonroot by one new field `flags' in struct netlink_kernel_cfg that is passed to netlink_kernel_create. This patch also renames NL_NONROOT_* to NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_* since now the flags field in nl_table is generic (so we can add more flags if needed in the future). Also adjust all callers in the net-next tree to use these flags instead of netlink_set_nonroot. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-09-07ima: digital signature verification supportDmitry Kasatkin
This patch adds support for digital signature based integrity appraisal. With this patch, 'security.ima' contains either the file data hash or a digital signature of the file data hash. The file data hash provides the security attribute of file integrity. In addition to file integrity, a digital signature provides the security attribute of authenticity. Unlike EVM, when the file metadata changes, the digital signature is replaced with an HMAC, modification of the file data does not cause the 'security.ima' digital signature to be replaced with a hash. As a result, after any modification, subsequent file integrity appraisals would fail. Although digitally signed files can be modified, but by not updating 'security.ima' to reflect these modifications, in essence digitally signed files could be considered 'immutable'. IMA uses a different keyring than EVM. While the EVM keyring should not be updated after initialization and locked, the IMA keyring should allow updating or adding new keys when upgrading or installing packages. Changelog v4: - Change IMA_DIGSIG to hex equivalent Changelog v3: - Permit files without any 'security.ima' xattr to be labeled properly.

2012-09-07ima: add support for different security.ima data typesMimi Zohar
IMA-appraisal currently verifies the integrity of a file based on a known 'good' measurement value. This patch reserves the first byte of 'security.ima' as a place holder for the type of method used for verifying file data integrity. Changelog v1: - Use the newly defined 'struct evm_ima_xattr_data' Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-09-07ima: add ima_inode_setxattr/removexattr function and callsMimi Zohar
Based on xattr_permission comments, the restriction to modify 'security' xattr is left up to the underlying fs or lsm. Ensure that not just anyone can modify or remove 'security.ima'. Changelog v1: - Unless IMA-APPRAISE is configured, use stub ima_inode_removexattr()/setxattr() functions. (Moved ima_inode_removexattr()/setxattr() to ima_appraise.c) Changelog: - take i_mutex to fix locking (Dmitry Kasatkin) - ima_reset_appraise_flags should only be called when modifying or removing the 'security.ima' xattr. Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege. (Incorporated fix from Roberto Sassu) - Even if allowed to update security.ima, reset the appraisal flags, forcing re-appraisal. - Replace CAP_MAC_ADMIN with CAP_SYS_ADMIN - static inline ima_inode_setxattr()/ima_inode_removexattr() stubs - ima_protect_xattr should be static Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@intel.com>
2012-09-07ima: replace iint spinblock with rwlock/read_lockDmitry Kasatkin
For performance, replace the iint spinlock with rwlock/read_lock. Eric Paris questioned this change, from spinlocks to rwlocks, saying "rwlocks have been shown to actually be slower on multi processor systems in a number of cases due to the cache line bouncing required." Based on performance measurements compiling the kernel on a cold boot with multiple jobs with/without this patch, Dmitry Kasatkin and I found that rwlocks performed better than spinlocks, but very insignificantly. For example with total compilation time around 6 minutes, with rwlocks time was 1 - 3 seconds shorter... but always like that.

2012-09-07ima: allocating iint improvementsDmitry Kasatkin
With IMA-appraisal's removal of the iint mutex and taking the i_mutex instead, allocating the iint becomes a lot simplier, as we don't need to be concerned with two processes racing to allocate the iint. This patch cleans up and improves performance for allocating the iint. - removed redundant double i_mutex locking - combined iint allocation with tree search Changelog v2: - removed the rwlock/read_lock changes from this patch Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>
2012-09-07ima: add appraise action keywords and default rulesMimi Zohar
Unlike the IMA measurement policy, the appraise policy can not be dependent on runtime process information, such as the task uid, as the 'security.ima' xattr is written on file close and must be updated each time the file changes, regardless of the current task uid. This patch extends the policy language with 'fowner', defines an appraise policy, which appraises all files owned by root, and defines 'ima_appraise_tcb', a new boot command line option, to enable the appraise policy. Changelog v3: - separate the measure from the appraise rules in order to support measuring without appraising and appraising without measuring. - change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail - update default appraise policy for cgroups Changelog v1: - don't appraise RAMFS (Dmitry Kasatkin) - merged rest of "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" commit (Dmtiry Kasatkin) ima_must_appraise_or_measure() called ima_match_policy twice, which searched the policy for a matching rule. Once for a matching measurement rule and subsequently for an appraisal rule. Searching the policy twice is unnecessary overhead, which could be noticeable with a large policy. The new version of ima_must_appraise_or_measure() does everything in a single iteration using a new version of ima_match_policy(). It returns IMA_MEASURE, IMA_APPRAISE mask. With the use of action mask only one efficient matching function is enough. Removed other specific versions of matching functions. Changelog: - change 'owner' to 'fowner' to conform to the new LSM conditions posted by Roberto Sassu. - fix calls to ima_log_string() Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@intel.com>
2012-09-07ima: integrity appraisal extensionMimi Zohar
IMA currently maintains an integrity measurement list used to assert the integrity of the running system to a third party. The IMA-appraisal extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute 'security.ima'. The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides authenticity. This patch creates and maintains the 'security.ima' xattr, containing the file data hash measurement. Protection of the xattr is provided by EVM, if enabled and configured. Based on policy, IMA calls evm_verifyxattr() to verify a file's metadata integrity and, assuming success, compares the file's current hash value with the one stored as an extended attribute in 'security.ima'. Changelov v4: - changed iint cache flags to hex values Changelog v3: - change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail Changelog v2: - fix audit msg 'res' value - removed unused 'ima_appraise=' values Changelog v1: - removed unused iint mutex (Dmitry Kasatkin) - setattr hook must not reset appraised (Dmitry Kasatkin) - evm_verifyxattr() now differentiates between no 'security.evm' xattr (INTEGRITY_NOLABEL) and no EVM 'protected' xattrs included in the 'security.evm' (INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS). - replace hash_status with ima_status (Dmitry Kasatkin) - re-initialize slab element ima_status on free (Dmitry Kasatkin) - include 'security.ima' in EVM if CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE, not CONFIG_IMA - merged half "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" (Dmitry Kasatkin) - removed unnecessary error variable in process_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin) - use ima_inode_post_setattr() stub function, if IMA_APPRAISE not configured (moved ima_inode_post_setattr() to ima_appraise.c) - make sure ima_collect_measurement() can read file Changelog: - add 'iint' to evm_verifyxattr() call (Dimitry Kasatkin) - fix the race condition between chmod, which takes the i_mutex and then iint->mutex, and ima_file_free() and process_measurement(), which take the locks in the reverse order, by eliminating iint->mutex. (Dmitry Kasatkin) - cleanup of ima_appraise_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin) - changes as a result of the iint not allocated for all regular files, but only for those measured/appraised. - don't try to appraise new/empty files - expanded ima_appraisal description in ima/Kconfig - IMA appraise definitions required even if IMA_APPRAISE not enabled - add return value to ima_must_appraise() stub - unconditionally set status = INTEGRITY_PASS *after* testing status, not before.

2012-09-08Yama: handle 32-bit userspace prctlKees Cook
When running a 64-bit kernel and receiving prctls from a 32-bit userspace, the "-1" used as an unsigned long will end up being misdetected. The kernel is looking for 0xffffffffffffffff instead of 0xffffffff. Since prctl lacks a distinct compat interface, Yama needs to handle this translation itself. As such, support either value as meaning PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, to avoid breaking the ABI for 64-bit.

2012-07-30selinux: fix selinux_inode_setxattr oopsAl Viro
OK, what we have so far is e.g. setxattr(path, name, whatever, 0, XATTR_REPLACE) with name being good enough to get through xattr_permission(). Then we reach security_inode_setxattr() with the desired value and size. Aha. name should begin with "security.selinux", or we won't get that far in selinux_inode_setxattr(). Suppose we got there and have enough permissions to relabel that sucker. We call security_context_to_sid() with value == NULL, size == 0. OK, we want ss_initialized to be non-zero. I.e. after everything had been set up and running. No problem... We do 1-byte kmalloc(), zero-length memcpy() (which doesn't oops, even thought the source is NULL) and put a NUL there. I.e. form an empty string. string_to_context_struct() is called and looks for the first ':' in there. Not found, -EINVAL we get. OK, security_context_to_sid_core() has rc == -EINVAL, force == 0, so it silently returns -EINVAL. All it takes now is not having CAP_MAC_ADMIN and we are fucked.

2012-07-26posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitionsJosh Boyer
Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

Pull networking changes from David S Miller: 1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB trie and use prebuilt routes cached there. No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance, no matter what the pattern of traffic we service. This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who have helped along the way. I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to fix things :-) The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description of the motivations and implementation issues. 2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on input. 3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao Feng. 5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from Yuval Mintz. 6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver, from Jiri Pirko. 9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with embedded gotos. 10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels, this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments, from Alexander Duyck. 12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from Eric Dumazet. 13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up fastopen data. 14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro: "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too. Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one - it's large enough as it is..." * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (127 commits) ext4: switch EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS to mnt_want_write_file() btrfs: switch btrfs_ioctl_balance() to mnt_want_write_file() switch dentry_open() to struct path, make it grab references itself spufs: shift dget/mntget towards dentry_open() zoran: don't bother with struct file * in zoran_map ecryptfs: don't reinvent the wheels, please - use struct completion don't expose I_NEW inodes via dentry->d_inode tidy up namei.c a bit unobfuscate follow_up() a bit ext3: pass custom EOF to generic_file_llseek_size() ext4: use core vfs llseek code for dir seeks vfs: allow custom EOF in generic_file_llseek code vfs: Avoid unnecessary WB_SYNC_NONE writeback during sys_sync and reorder sync passes vfs: Remove unnecessary flushing of block devices vfs: Make sys_sync writeout also block device inodes vfs: Create function for iterating over block devices vfs: Reorder operations during sys_sync quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs method quota: Split dquot_quota_sync() to writeback and cache flushing part vfs: Move noop_backing_dev_info check from sync into writeback ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security Pull SELinux regression fixes from James Morris. Andrew Morton has a box that hit that open perms problem. I also renamed the "epollwakeup" selinux name for the new capability to be "block_suspend", to match the rename done by commit d9914cf66181 ("PM: Rename CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP to CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND"). * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: SELinux: do not check open perms if they are not known to policy SELinux: include definition of new capabilities
2012-07-16SELinux: do not check open perms if they are not known to policyEric Paris
When I introduced open perms policy didn't understand them and I implemented them as a policycap. When I added the checking of open perm to truncate I forgot to conditionalize it on the userspace defined policy capability. Running an old policy with a new kernel will not check open on open(2) but will check it on truncate. Conditionalize the truncate check the same as the open check.

2012-07-13Smack: don't show empty rules when /smack/load or /smack/load2 is readRafal Krypa
This patch removes empty rules (i.e. with access set to '-') from the rule list presented to user space. Smack by design never removes labels nor rules from its lists. Access for a rule may be set to '-' to effectively disable it. Such rules would show up in the listing generated when /smack/load or /smack/load2 is read. This may cause clutter if many rules were disabled. As a rule with access set to '-' is equivalent to no rule at all, they may be safely hidden from the listing.

2012-07-13Smack: user access check boundsCasey Schaufler
Some of the bounds checking used on the /smack/access interface was lost when support for long labels was added. No kernel access checks are affected, however this is a case where /smack/access could be used incorrectly and fail to detect the error. This patch reintroduces the original checks.

2012-07-13Smack: onlycap limits on CAP_MAC_ADMINCasey Schaufler
Smack is integrated with the POSIX capabilities scheme, using the capabilities CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_MAC_ADMIN to determine if a process is allowed to ignore Smack checks or change Smack related data respectively. Smack provides an additional restriction that if an onlycap value is set by writing to /smack/onlycap only tasks with that Smack label are allowed to use CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE. This change adds CAP_MAC_ADMIN as a capability that is affected by the onlycap mechanism.

2012-07-13Smack: fix smack_new_inode bogositiesCasey Schaufler
In January of 2012 Al Viro pointed out three bits of code that he titled "new_inode_smack bogosities". This patch repairs these errors. 1. smack_sb_kern_mount() included a NULL check that is impossible. The check and NULL case are removed. 2. smack_kb_kern_mount() included pointless locking. The locking is removed. Since this is the only place that lock was used the lock is removed from the superblock_smack structure. 3. smk_fill_super() incorrectly and unnecessarily set the Smack label for the smackfs root inode. The assignment has been removed. Targeted for git://gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
