2009-08-17SELinux: Convert avc_audit to use lsm_audit.hThomas Liu1-44/+5
Convert avc_audit in security/selinux/avc.c to use lsm_audit.h, for better maintainability. - changed selinux to use common_audit_data instead of avc_audit_data - eliminated code in avc.c and used code from lsm_audit.h instead. Had to add a LSM_AUDIT_NO_AUDIT to lsm_audit.h so that avc_audit can call common_lsm_audit and do the pre and post callbacks without doing the actual dump. This makes it so that the patched version behaves the same way as the unpatched version. Also added a denied field to the selinux_audit_data private space, once again to make it so that the patched version behaves like the unpatched. I've tested and confirmed that AVCs look the same before and after this patch.

2009-06-25selinux: clean up avc node cache when disabling selinuxThomas Liu1-0/+3
Added a call to free the avc_node_cache when inside selinux_disable because it should not waste resources allocated during avc_init if SELinux is disabled and the cache will never be used.

2009-06-19Add audit messages on type boundary violationsKaiGai Kohei1-3/+0
The attached patch adds support to generate audit messages on two cases. The first one is a case when a multi-thread process tries to switch its performing security context using setcon(3), but new security context is not bounded by the old one. type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1245311998.599:17): \ op=security_bounded_transition result=denied \ oldcontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 \ newcontext=system_u:system_r:guest_webapp_t:s0 The other one is a case when security_compute_av() masked any permissions due to the type boundary violation. type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1245312836.035:32): \ op=security_compute_av reason=bounds \ scontext=system_u:object_r:user_webapp_t:s0 \ tcontext=system_u:object_r:shadow_t:s0:c0 \ tclass=file perms=getattr,open Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2008-08-29SELinux: add boundary support and thread context assignmentKaiGai Kohei1-0/+4
The purpose of this patch is to assign per-thread security context under a constraint. It enables multi-threaded server application to kick a request handler with its fair security context, and helps some of userspace object managers to handle user's request. When we assign a per-thread security context, it must not have wider permissions than the original one. Because a multi-threaded process shares a single local memory, an arbitary per-thread security context also means another thread can easily refer violated information. The constraint on a per-thread security context requires a new domain has to be equal or weaker than its original one, when it tries to assign a per-thread security context. Bounds relationship between two types is a way to ensure a domain can never have wider permission than its bounds. We can define it in two explicit or implicit ways. The first way is using new TYPEBOUNDS statement. It enables to define a boundary of types explicitly. The other one expand the concept of existing named based hierarchy. If we defines a type with "." separated name like "httpd_t.php", toolchain implicitly set its bounds on "httpd_t". This feature requires a new policy version. The 24th version (POLICYDB_VERSION_BOUNDARY) enables to ship them into kernel space, and the following patch enables to handle it.

2008-02-14d_path: Use struct path in struct avc_audit_dataJan Blunck1-4/+2
audit_log_d_path() is a d_path() wrapper that is used by the audit code. To use a struct path in audit_log_d_path() I need to embed it into struct avc_audit_data.

2008-01-30SELinux: Only store the network interface's ifindexPaul Moore1-1/+1
Instead of storing the packet's network interface name store the ifindex. This allows us to defer the need to lookup the net_device structure until the audit record is generated meaning that in the majority of cases we never need to bother with this at all.

2007-10-17SELinux: Improve read/write performanceYuichi Nakamura1-0/+2
It reduces the selinux overhead on read/write by only revalidating permissions in selinux_file_permission if the task or inode labels have changed or the policy has changed since the open-time check. A new LSM hook, security_dentry_open, is added to capture the necessary state at open time to allow this optimization.

2007-07-11SELinux: allow preemption between transition permission checksStephen Smalley1-2/+4
In security_get_user_sids, move the transition permission checks outside of the section holding the policy rdlock, and use the AVC to perform the checks, calling cond_resched after each one. These changes should allow preemption between the individual checks and enable caching of the results. It may however increase the overall time spent in the function in some cases, particularly in the cache miss case. The long term fix will be to take much of this logic to userspace by exporting additional state via selinuxfs, and ultimately deprecating and eliminating this interface from the kernel.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+137
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!
