2006-05-01[PATCH] support for context based audit filteringDarrel Goeddel
The following patch provides selinux interfaces that will allow the audit system to perform filtering based on the process context (user, role, type, sensitivity, and clearance). These interfaces will allow the selinux module to perform efficient matches based on lower level selinux constructs, rather than relying on context retrievals and string comparisons within the audit module. It also allows for dominance checks on the mls portion of the contexts that are impossible with only string comparisons.

2006-03-20[PATCH] promiscuous modeSteve Grubb
Hi, When a network interface goes into promiscuous mode, its an important security issue. The attached patch is intended to capture that action and send an event to the audit system. The patch carves out a new block of numbers for kernel detected anomalies. These are events that may indicate suspicious activity. Other examples of potential kernel anomalies would be: exceeding disk quota, rlimit violations, changes to syscall entry table.

2006-03-20[PATCH] Capture selinux subject/object context information.Dustin Kirkland
This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver of an action. These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the appropriate record in the audit code. This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP).

2006-03-20[PATCH] Exclude messages by message typeDustin Kirkland
- Add a new, 5th filter called "exclude". - And add a new field AUDIT_MSGTYPE. - Define a new function audit_filter_exclude() that takes a message type as input and examines all rules in the filter. It returns '1' if the message is to be excluded, and '0' otherwise. - Call the audit_filter_exclude() function near the top of audit_log_start() just after asserting audit_initialized. If the message type is not to be audited, return NULL very early, before doing a lot of work.

2006-03-20[PATCH] Collect more inode information during syscall processing.Amy Griffis
This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4. Specifically, it: - Collects information for target inodes created or removed during syscalls. Previous code only collects information for the target inode's parent. - Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for these calls. - Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode # or a parent inode # matching a given rule. - Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child. - Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

2006-03-20[PATCH] Filter rule comparatorsDustin Kirkland
Currently, audit only supports the "=" and "!=" operators in the -F filter rules. This patch reworks the support for "=" and "!=", and adds support for ">", ">=", "<", and "<=". This turned out to be a pretty clean, and simply process. I ended up using the high order bits of the "field", as suggested by Steve and Amy. This allowed for no changes whatsoever to the netlink communications. See the documentation within the patch in the include/linux/audit.h area, where there is a table that explains the reasoning of the bitmask assignments clearly. The patch adds a new function, audit_comparator(left, op, right). This function will perform the specified comparison (op, which defaults to "==" for backward compatibility) between two values (left and right). If the negate bit is on, it will negate whatever that result was. This value is returned.

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>

2005-06-21AUDIT: Spawn kernel thread to list filter rules.David Woodhouse
If we have enough rules to fill the netlink buffer space, it'll deadlock because auditctl isn't ever actually going to read from the socket until we return, and we aren't going to return until it reads... so we spawn a kernel thread to spew out the list and then exit.

2005-05-21AUDIT: Assign serial number to non-syscall messagesDavid Woodhouse

2005-05-11Add audit_log_typeChris Wright
Add audit_log_type to allow callers to specify type and pid when logging. Convert audit_log to wrapper around audit_log_type. Could have converted all audit_log callers directly, but common case is default of type AUDIT_KERNEL and pid 0. Update audit_log_start to take type and pid values when creating a new audit_buffer. Move sequences that did audit_log_start, audit_log_format, audit_set_type, audit_log_end, to simply call audit_log_type directly. This obsoletes audit_set_type and audit_set_pid, so remove them.

2005-05-06The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon Steve Grubb
shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the shutdown. It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a manageable risk. The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks like this: type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650 uid=525, auditd pid=1685 Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-04-29[AUDIT] LOGIN message credentialsSteve Grubb
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.

2005-04-29[AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.
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 <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-04-29AUDIT: Avoid log pollution by untrusted strings.
We log strings from userspace, such as arguments to open(). These could be formatted to contain \n followed by fake audit log entries.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
