2014-09-16PKCS#7: Handle PKCS#7 messages that contain no X.509 certsDavid Howells2-17/+47
The X.509 certificate list in a PKCS#7 message is optional. To save space, we can omit the inclusion of any X.509 certificates if we are sure that we can look the relevant public key up by the serial number and issuer given in a signed info block. This also supports use of a signed info block for which we can't find a matching X.509 cert in the certificate list, though it be populated.

2014-09-16PKCS#7: Better handling of unsupported cryptoDavid Howells5-16/+74
Provide better handling of unsupported crypto when verifying a PKCS#7 message. If we can't bridge the gap between a pair of X.509 certs or between a signed info block and an X.509 cert because it involves some crypto we don't support, that's not necessarily the end of the world as there may be other ways points at which we can intersect with a ring of trusted keys. Instead, only produce ENOPKG immediately if all the signed info blocks in a PKCS#7 message require unsupported crypto to bridge to the first X.509 cert. Otherwise, we defer the generation of ENOPKG until we get ENOKEY during trust validation. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
2014-09-16KEYS: Overhaul key identification when searching for asymmetric keysDavid Howells10-186/+198
Make use of the new match string preparsing to overhaul key identification when searching for asymmetric keys. The following changes are made: (1) Use the previously created asymmetric_key_id struct to hold the following key IDs derived from the X.509 certificate or PKCS#7 message: id: serial number + issuer skid: subjKeyId + subject authority: authKeyId + issuer (2) Replace the hex fingerprint attached to key->type_data[1] with an asymmetric_key_ids struct containing the id and the skid (if present). (3) Make the asymmetric_type match data preparse select one of two searches: (a) An iterative search for the key ID given if prefixed with "id:". The prefix is expected to be followed by a hex string giving the ID to search for. The criterion key ID is checked against all key IDs recorded on the key. (b) A direct search if the key ID is not prefixed with "id:". This will look for an exact match on the key description. (4) Make x509_request_asymmetric_key() take a key ID. This is then converted into "id:<hex>" and passed into keyring_search() where match preparsing will turn it back into a binary ID. (5) X.509 certificate verification then takes the authority key ID and looks up a key that matches it to find the public key for the certificate signature. (6) PKCS#7 certificate verification then takes the id key ID and looks up a key that matches it to find the public key for the signed information block signature. Additional changes: (1) Multiple subjKeyId and authKeyId values on an X.509 certificate cause the cert to be rejected with -EBADMSG. (2) The 'fingerprint' ID is gone. This was primarily intended to convey PGP public key fingerprints. If PGP is supported in future, this should generate a key ID that carries the fingerprint. (3) Th ca_keyid= kernel command line option is now converted to a key ID and used to match the authority key ID. Possibly this should only match the actual authKeyId part and not the issuer as well.

2014-09-16KEYS: Implement binary asymmetric key ID handlingDavid Howells3-0/+131
Implement the first step in using binary key IDs for asymmetric keys rather than hex string keys. The previously added match data preparsing will be able to convert hex criterion strings into binary which can then be compared more rapidly. Further, we actually want more then one ID string per public key. The problem is that X.509 certs refer to other X.509 certs by matching Issuer + AuthKeyId to Subject + SubjKeyId, but PKCS#7 messages match against X.509 Issuer + SerialNumber. This patch just provides facilities for a later patch to make use of. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

2014-09-16KEYS: Remove key_type::match in favour of overriding default by match_preparseDavid Howells19-45/+31
A previous patch added a ->match_preparse() method to the key type. This is allowed to override the function called by the iteration algorithm. Therefore, we can just set a default that simply checks for an exact match of the key description with the original criterion data and allow match_preparse to override it as needed. The key_type::match op is then redundant and can be removed, as can the user_match() function. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

2014-09-16KEYS: Preparse match dataDavid Howells11-51/+129
Preparse the match data. This provides several advantages: (1) The preparser can reject invalid criteria up front. (2) The preparser can convert the criteria to binary data if necessary (the asymmetric key type really wants to do binary comparison of the key IDs). (3) The preparser can set the type of search to be performed. This means that it's not then a one-off setting in the key type. (4) The preparser can set an appropriate comparator function.

2014-09-09ima: remove usage of filename parameterDmitry Kasatkin2-14/+10
In all cases except ima_bprm_check() the filename was not defined and ima_d_path() was used to find the full path. Unfortunately, the bprm filename is a relative pathname (eg. ./<dir>/filename). ima_bprm_check() selects between bprm->interp and bprm->filename. The following dump demonstrates the differences between using filename and interp. bprm->filename filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /root/bin/foo.sh filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /bin/dash bprm->interp filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /root/bin/foo.sh filename: /bin/sh, pathname: /bin/dash In both cases the pathnames are currently the same. This patch removes usage of filename and interp in favor of d_absolute_path. Changes v3: - 11 extra bytes for "deleted" not needed (Mimi) - purpose "replace relative bprm filename with full pathname" (Mimi) Changes v2: - use d_absolute_path() instead of d_path to work in chroot environments.

2014-09-09evm: properly handle INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS EVM statusDmitry Kasatkin1-0/+7
Unless an LSM labels a file during d_instantiate(), newly created files are not labeled with an initial security.evm xattr, until the file closes. EVM, before allowing a protected, security xattr to be written, verifies the existing 'security.evm' value is good. For newly created files without a security.evm label, this verification prevents writing any protected, security xattrs, until the file closes. Following is the example when this happens: fd = open("foo", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, 0644); setxattr("foo", "security.SMACK64", value, sizeof(value), 0); close(fd); While INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS status is handled in other places, such as evm_inode_setattr(), it does not handle it in all cases in evm_protect_xattr(). By limiting the use of INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS to newly created files, we can now allow setting "protected" xattrs.

2014-08-28Smack: Bring-up access modeCasey Schaufler5-27/+294
People keep asking me for permissive mode, and I keep saying "no". Permissive mode is wrong for more reasons than I can enumerate, but the compelling one is that it's once on, never off. Nonetheless, there is an argument to be made for running a process with lots of permissions, logging which are required, and then locking the process down. There wasn't a way to do that with Smack, but this provides it. The notion is that you start out by giving the process an appropriate Smack label, such as "ATBirds". You create rules with a wide range of access and the "b" mode. On Tizen it might be: ATBirds System rwxalb ATBirds User rwxalb ATBirds _ rwxalb User ATBirds wb System ATBirds wb Accesses that fail will generate audit records. Accesses that succeed because of rules marked with a "b" generate log messages identifying the rule, the program and as much object information as is convenient. When the system is properly configured and the programs brought in line with the labeling scheme the "b" mode can be removed from the rules. When the system is ready for production the facility can be configured out. This provides the developer the convenience of permissive mode without creating a system that looks like it is enforcing a policy while it is not.

2014-08-08Smack: remove unneeded NULL-termination from securtity labelKonstantin Khlebnikov1-3/+3
Values of extended attributes are stored as binary blobs. NULL-termination of them isn't required. It just wastes disk space and confuses command-line tools like getfattr because they have to print that zero byte at the end. This patch removes terminating zero byte from initial security label in smack_inode_init_security and cuts it out in function smack_inode_getsecurity which is used by syscall getxattr. This change seems completely safe, because function smk_parse_smack ignores everything after first zero byte. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <k.khlebnikov@samsung.com>
