2011-04-25SELINUX: Make selinux cache VFS RCU walks safeEric Paris1-5/+13
Now that the security modules can decide whether they support the dcache RCU walk or not it's possible to make selinux a bit more RCU friendly. The SELinux AVC and security server access decision code is RCU safe. A specific piece of the LSM audit code may not be RCU safe. This patch makes the VFS RCU walk retry if it would hit the non RCU safe chunk of code. It will normally just work under RCU. This is done simply by passing the VFS RCU state as a flag down into the avc_audit() code and returning ECHILD there if it would have an issue.

2011-02-01SELinux: Use dentry name in new object labelingEric Paris1-3/+5
Currently SELinux has rules which label new objects according to 3 criteria. The label of the process creating the object, the label of the parent directory, and the type of object (reg, dir, char, block, etc.) This patch adds a 4th criteria, the dentry name, thus we can distinguish between creating a file in an etc_t directory called shadow and one called motd. There is no file globbing, regex parsing, or anything mystical. Either the policy exactly (strcmp) matches the dentry name of the object or it doesn't. This patch has no changes from today if policy does not implement the new rules. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-10-21selinux: fast status update interface (/selinux/status)KaiGai Kohei1-0/+21
This patch provides a new /selinux/status entry which allows applications read-only mmap(2). This region reflects selinux_kernel_status structure in kernel space. struct selinux_kernel_status { u32 length; /* length of this structure */ u32 sequence; /* sequence number of seqlock logic */ u32 enforcing; /* current setting of enforcing mode */ u32 policyload; /* times of policy reloaded */ u32 deny_unknown; /* current setting of deny_unknown */ }; When userspace object manager caches access control decisions provided by SELinux, it needs to invalidate the cache on policy reload and setenforce to keep consistency. However, the applications need to check the kernel state for each accesses on userspace avc, or launch a background worker process. In heuristic, frequency of invalidation is much less than frequency of making access control decision, so it is annoying to invoke a system call to check we don't need to invalidate the userspace cache. If we can use a background worker thread, it allows to receive invalidation messages from the kernel. But it requires us an invasive coding toward the base application in some cases; E.g, when we provide a feature performing with SELinux as a plugin module, it is unwelcome manner to launch its own worker thread from the module. If we could map /selinux/status to process memory space, application can know updates of selinux status; policy reload or setenforce. A typical application checks selinux_kernel_status::sequence when it tries to reference userspace avc. If it was changed from the last time when it checked userspace avc, it means something was updated in the kernel space. Then, the application can reset userspace avc or update current enforcing mode, without any system call invocations. This sequence number is updated according to the seqlock logic, so we need to wait for a while if it is odd number.

2010-08-02SELinux: Move execmod to the common permsEric Paris1-4/+3
execmod "could" show up on non regular files and non chr files. The current implementation would actually make these checks against non-existant bits since the code assumes the execmod permission is same for all file types. To make this line up for chr files we had to define execute_no_trans and entrypoint permissions. These permissions are unreachable and only existed to to make FILE__EXECMOD and CHR_FILE__EXECMOD the same. This patch drops those needless perms as well.

2010-08-02SELinux: special dontaudit for access checksEric Paris1-1/+1
Currently there are a number of applications (nautilus being the main one) which calls access() on files in order to determine how they should be displayed. It is normal and expected that nautilus will want to see if files are executable or if they are really read/write-able. access() should return the real permission. SELinux policy checks are done in access() and can result in lots of AVC denials as policy denies RWX on files which DAC allows. Currently SELinux must dontaudit actual attempts to read/write/execute a file in order to silence these messages (and not flood the logs.) But dontaudit rules like that can hide real attacks. This patch addes a new common file permission audit_access. This permission is special in that it is meaningless and should never show up in an allow rule. Instead the only place this permission has meaning is in a dontaudit rule like so: dontaudit nautilus_t sbin_t:file audit_access With such a rule if nautilus just checks access() we will still get denied and thus userspace will still get the correct answer but we will not log the denial. If nautilus attempted to actually perform one of the forbidden actions (rather than just querying access(2) about it) we would still log a denial. This type of dontaudit rule should be used sparingly, as it could be a method for an attacker to probe the system permissions without detection.

2010-01-18selinux: change the handling of unknown classesStephen Smalley1-6/+4
If allow_unknown==deny, SELinux treats an undefined kernel security class as an error condition rather than as a typical permission denial and thus does not allow permissions on undefined classes even when in permissive mode. Change the SELinux logic so that this case is handled as a typical permission denial, subject to the usual permissive mode and permissive domain handling. Also drop the 'requested' argument from security_compute_av() and helpers as it is a legacy of the original security server interface and is unused. Changes: - Handle permissive domains consistently by moving up the test for a permissive domain. - Make security_compute_av_user() consistent with security_compute_av(); the only difference now is that security_compute_av() performs mapping between the kernel-private class and permission indices and the policy values. In the userspace case, this mapping is handled by libselinux. - Moved avd_init inside the policy lock. Based in part on a patch by Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com>.

2009-10-07selinux: dynamic class/perm discoveryStephen Smalley9-417/+206
Modify SELinux to dynamically discover class and permission values upon policy load, based on the dynamic object class/perm discovery logic from libselinux. A mapping is created between kernel-private class and permission indices used outside the security server and the policy values used within the security server. The mappings are only applied upon kernel-internal computations; similar mappings for the private indices of userspace object managers is handled on a per-object manager basis by the userspace AVC. The interfaces for compute_av and transition_sid are split for kernel vs. userspace; the userspace functions are distinguished by a _user suffix. The kernel-private class indices are no longer tied to the policy values and thus do not need to skip indices for userspace classes; thus the kernel class index values are compressed. The flask.h definitions were regenerated by deleting the userspace classes from refpolicy's definitions and then regenerating the headers. Going forward, we can just maintain the flask.h, av_permissions.h, and classmap.h definitions separately from policy as they are no longer tied to the policy values. The next patch introduces a utility to automate generation of flask.h and av_permissions.h from the classmap.h definitions. The older kernel class and permission string tables are removed and replaced by a single security class mapping table that is walked at policy load to generate the mapping. The old kernel class validation logic is completely replaced by the mapping logic. The handle unknown logic is reworked. reject_unknown=1 is handled when the mappings are computed at policy load time, similar to the old handling by the class validation logic. allow_unknown=1 is handled when computing and mapping decisions - if the permission was not able to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then it is automatically added to the allowed vector. If the class was not able to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then all permissions are allowed for it if allow_unknown=1. avc_audit leverages the new security class mapping table to lookup the class and permission names from the kernel-private indices. The mdp program is updated to use the new table when generating the class definitions and allow rules for a minimal boot policy for the kernel. It should be noted that this policy will not include any userspace classes, nor will its policy index values for the kernel classes correspond with the ones in refpolicy (they will instead match the kernel-private indices).

2009-09-01selinux: Support for the new TUN LSM hooksPaul Moore4-0/+25
Add support for the new TUN LSM hooks: security_tun_dev_create(), security_tun_dev_post_create() and security_tun_dev_attach(). This includes the addition of a new object class, tun_socket, which represents the socks associated with TUN devices. The _tun_dev_create() and _tun_dev_post_create() hooks are fairly similar to the standard socket functions but _tun_dev_attach() is a bit special. The _tun_dev_attach() is unique because it involves a domain attaching to an existing TUN device and its associated tun_socket object, an operation which does not exist with standard sockets and most closely resembles a relabel operation.

2009-04-02Permissive domain in userspace object managerKaiGai Kohei1-1/+3
This patch enables applications to handle permissive domain correctly. Since the v2.6.26 kernel, SELinux has supported an idea of permissive domain which allows certain processes to work as if permissive mode, even if the global setting is enforcing mode. However, we don't have an application program interface to inform what domains are permissive one, and what domains are not. It means applications focuses on SELinux (XACE/SELinux, SE-PostgreSQL and so on) cannot handle permissive domain correctly. This patch add the sixth field (flags) on the reply of the /selinux/access interface which is used to make an access control decision from userspace. If the first bit of the flags field is positive, it means the required access control decision is on permissive domain, so application should allow any required actions, as the kernel doing. This patch also has a side benefit. The av_decision.flags is set at context_struct_compute_av(). It enables to check required permissions without read_lock(&policy_rwlock).

2009-03-28netlabel: Label incoming TCP connections correctly in SELinuxPaul Moore1-14/+13
The current NetLabel/SELinux behavior for incoming TCP connections works but only through a series of happy coincidences that rely on the limited nature of standard CIPSO (only able to convey MLS attributes) and the write equality imposed by the SELinux MLS constraints. The problem is that network sockets created as the result of an incoming TCP connection were not on-the-wire labeled based on the security attributes of the parent socket but rather based on the wire label of the remote peer. The issue had to do with how IP options were managed as part of the network stack and where the LSM hooks were in relation to the code which set the IP options on these newly created child sockets. While NetLabel/SELinux did correctly set the socket's on-the-wire label it was promptly cleared by the network stack and reset based on the IP options of the remote peer. This patch, in conjunction with a prior patch that adjusted the LSM hook locations, works to set the correct on-the-wire label format for new incoming connections through the security_inet_conn_request() hook. Besides the correct behavior there are many advantages to this change, the most significant is that all of the NetLabel socket labeling code in SELinux now lives in hooks which can return error codes to the core stack which allows us to finally get ride of the selinux_netlbl_inode_permission() logic which greatly simplfies the NetLabel/SELinux glue code. In the process of developing this patch I also ran into a small handful of AF_INET6 cleanliness issues that have been fixed which should make the code safer and easier to extend in the future.

2009-03-06SELinux: open perm for sock filesEric Paris2-0/+2
When I did open permissions I didn't think any sockets would have an open. Turns out AF_UNIX sockets can have an open when they are bound to the filesystem namespace. This patch adds a new SOCK_FILE__OPEN permission. It's safe to add this as the open perms are already predicated on capabilities and capabilities means we have unknown perm handling so systems should be as backwards compatible as the policy wants them to be. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475224 Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2009-02-14SELinux: remove unused av.decided fieldEric Paris1-1/+0
It appears there was an intention to have the security server only decide certain permissions and leave other for later as some sort of a portential performance win. We are currently always deciding all 32 bits of permissions and this is a useless couple of branches and wasted space. This patch completely drops the av.decided concept. This in a 17% reduction in the time spent in avc_has_perm_noaudit based on oprofile sampling of a tbench benchmark.

2009-01-19SELinux: Add new security mount option to indicate security label support.David P. Quigley1-0/+2
There is no easy way to tell if a file system supports SELinux security labeling. Because of this a new flag is being added to the super block security structure to indicate that the particular super block supports labeling. This flag is set for file systems using the xattr, task, and transition labeling methods unless that behavior is overridden by context mounts. Signed-off-by: David P.

2009-01-19SELinux: Condense super block security structure flags and cleanup necessary code.David P. Quigley2-2/+6
The super block security structure currently has three fields for what are essentially flags. The flags field is used for mount options while two other char fields are used for initialization and proc flags. These latter two fields are essentially bit fields since the only used values are 0 and 1. These fields have been collapsed into the flags field and new bit masks have been added for them. The code is also fixed to work with these new flags. Signed-off-by: David P.

2009-01-05SELinux: shrink sizeof av_inhert selinux_class_perm and contextEric Paris1-2/+2
I started playing with pahole today and decided to put it against the selinux structures. Found we could save a little bit of space on x86_64 (and no harm on i686) just reorganizing some structs. Object size changes: av_inherit: 24 -> 16 selinux_class_perm: 48 -> 40 context: 80 -> 72 Admittedly there aren't many of av_inherit or selinux_class_perm's in the kernel (33 and 1 respectively) But the change to the size of struct context reverberate out a bit. I can get some hard number if they are needed, but I don't see why they would be. We do change which cacheline context->len and context->str would be on, but I don't see that as a problem since we are clearly going to have to load both if the context is to be of any value. I've run with the patch and don't seem to be having any problems. An example of what's going on using struct av_inherit would be: form: to: struct av_inherit { struct av_inherit { u16 tclass; const char **common_pts; const char **common_pts; u32 common_base; u32 common_base; u16 tclass; }; (notice all I did was move u16 tclass to the end of the struct instead of the beginning) Memory layout before the change: struct av_inherit { u16 tclass; /* 2 */ /* 6 bytes hole */ const char** common_pts; /* 8 */ u32 common_base; /* 4 */ /* 4 byes padding */ /* size: 24, cachelines: 1 */ /* sum members: 14, holes: 1, sum holes: 6 */ /* padding: 4 */ }; Memory layout after the change: struct av_inherit { const char ** common_pts; /* 8 */ u32 common_base; /* 4 */ u16 tclass; /* 2 */ /* 2 bytes padding */ /* size: 16, cachelines: 1 */ /* sum members: 14, holes: 0, sum holes: 0 */ /* padding: 2 */ }; Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2008-11-14CRED: Add a kernel_service object class to SELinuxDavid Howells4-0/+10
Add a 'kernel_service' object class to SELinux and give this object class two access vectors: 'use_as_override' and 'create_files_as'. The first vector is used to grant a process the right to nominate an alternate process security ID for the kernel to use as an override for the SELinux subjective security when accessing stuff on behalf of another process. For example, CacheFiles when accessing the cache on behalf on a process accessing an NFS file needs to use a subjective security ID appropriate to the cache rather then the one the calling process is using. The cachefilesd daemon will nominate the security ID to be used. The second vector is used to grant a process the right to nominate a file creation label for a kernel service to use.
