To +select it at boot time, specify "security=yama" (though this will disable +any other LSM). + +Yama is controlled through sysctl in /proc/sys/kernel/yama: + +- ptrace_scope + +============================================================== + +ptrace_scope: + +As Linux grows in popularity, it will become a larger target for +malware. One particularly troubling weakness of the Linux process +interfaces is that a single user is able to examine the memory and +running state of any of their processes. For example, if one application +(e.g. Pidgin) was compromised, it would be possible for an attacker to +attach to other running processes (e.g. Firefox, SSH sessions, GPG agent, +etc) to extract additional credentials and continue to expand the scope +of their attack without resorting to user-assisted phishing. + +This is not a theoretical problem. SSH session hijacking +(http://www.storm.net.nz/projects/7) and arbitrary code injection +(http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2007/05/injectso.html) attacks already +exist and remain possible if ptrace is allowed to operate as before. +Since ptrace is not commonly used by non-developers and non-admins, system +builders should be allowed the option to disable this debugging system. + +For a solution, some applications use prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, ...) to +specifically disallow such ptrace attachment (e.g. ssh-agent), but many +do not. A more general solution is to only allow ptrace directly from a +parent to a child process (i.e. direct "gdb EXE" and "strace EXE" still +work), or with CAP_SYS_PTRACE (i.e. "gdb --pid=PID", and "strace -p PID" +still work as root). + +For software that has defined application-specific relationships +between a debugging process and its inferior (crash handlers, etc), +prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, pid, ...) can be used. An inferior can declare which +other process (and its descendents) are allowed to call PTRACE_ATTACH +against it. Only one such declared debugging process can exists for +each inferior at a time. For example, this is used by KDE, Chromium, and +Firefox's crash handlers, and by Wine for allowing only Wine processes +to ptrace each other. + +0 - classic ptrace permissions: a process can PTRACE_ATTACH to any other + process running under the same uid, as long as it is dumpable (i.e. + did not transition uids, start privileged, or have called + prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE...) already). + +1 - restricted ptrace: a process must have a predefined relationship + with the inferior it wants to call PTRACE_ATTACH on. By default, + this relationship is that of only its descendants when the above + classic criteria is also met. To change the relationship, an + inferior can call prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, debugger, ...) to declare + an allowed debugger PID to call PTRACE_ATTACH on the inferior. + +The original children-only logic was based on the restrictions in grsecurity. + +============================================================== diff --git a/include/linux/prctl.h b/include/linux/prctl.h index 7ddc7f1b480..4d0e5bc5458 100644 --- a/include/linux/prctl.h +++ b/include/linux/prctl.h @@ -114,4 +114,10 @@ # define PR_SET_MM_START_BRK 6 # define PR_SET_MM_BRK 7 +/* + * Set specific pid that is allowed to ptrace the current task. + * A value of 0 mean "no process". + */ +#define PR_SET_PTRACER 0x59616d61 + #endif /* _LINUX_PRCTL_H */ diff --git a/security/Kconfig b/security/Kconfig index 51bd5a0b69a..ccc61f8006b 100644 --- a/security/Kconfig +++ b/security/Kconfig @@ -187,6 +187,7 @@ source security/selinux/Kconfig source security/smack/Kconfig source security/tomoyo/Kconfig source security/apparmor/Kconfig +source security/yama/Kconfig source security/integrity/Kconfig @@ -196,6 +197,7 @@ choice default DEFAULT_SECURITY_SMACK if SECURITY_SMACK default DEFAULT_SECURITY_TOMOYO if SECURITY_TOMOYO default DEFAULT_SECURITY_APPARMOR if SECURITY_APPARMOR + default DEFAULT_SECURITY_YAMA if SECURITY_YAMA default DEFAULT_SECURITY_DAC help @@ -214,6 +216,9 @@ choice config DEFAULT_SECURITY_APPARMOR bool "AppArmor" if SECURITY_APPARMOR=y + config DEFAULT_SECURITY_YAMA + bool "Yama" if SECURITY_YAMA=y + config DEFAULT_SECURITY_DAC bool "Unix Discretionary Access Controls" @@ -225,6 +230,7 @@ config DEFAULT_SECURITY default "smack" if DEFAULT_SECURITY_SMACK default "tomoyo" if DEFAULT_SECURITY_TOMOYO default "apparmor" if DEFAULT_SECURITY_APPARMOR + default "yama" if DEFAULT_SECURITY_YAMA default "" if DEFAULT_SECURITY_DAC endmenu diff --git a/security/Makefile b/security/Makefile index a5e502f8a05..c26c81e9257 100644 --- a/security/Makefile +++ b/security/Makefile @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ subdir-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX) += selinux subdir-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK) += smack subdir-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO) += tomoyo subdir-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR) += apparmor +subdir-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_YAMA) += yama # always enable default capabilities obj-y += commoncap.o @@ -21,6 +22,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK) += smack/built-in.o obj-$(CONFIG_AUDIT) += lsm_audit.o obj-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO) += tomoyo/built-in.o obj-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR) += apparmor/built-in.o +obj-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_YAMA) += yama/built-in.o obj-$(CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE) += device_cgroup.o # Object integrity file lists diff --git a/security/yama/Kconfig b/security/yama/Kconfig new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..51d6709d8bb --- /dev/null +++ b/security/yama/Kconfig @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +config SECURITY_YAMA + bool "Yama support" + depends on SECURITY + select SECURITYFS + select SECURITY_PATH + default n + help + This selects Yama, which extends DAC support with additional + system-wide security settings beyond regular Linux discretionary + access controls.
