2010-02-09selinux: fix memory leak in sel_make_boolsXiaotian Feng1-0/+2
In sel_make_bools, kernel allocates memory for bool_pending_names[i] with security_get_bools. So if we just free bool_pending_names, those memories for bool_pending_names[i] will be leaked. This patch resolves dozens of following kmemleak report after resuming from suspend: unreferenced object 0xffff88022e4c7380 (size 32): comm "init", pid 1, jiffies 4294677173 backtrace: [<ffffffff810f76b5>] create_object+0x1a2/0x2a9 [<ffffffff810f78bb>] kmemleak_alloc+0x26/0x4b [<ffffffff810ef3eb>] __kmalloc+0x18f/0x1b8 [<ffffffff811cd511>] security_get_bools+0xd7/0x16f [<ffffffff811c48c0>] sel_write_load+0x12e/0x62b [<ffffffff810f9a39>] vfs_write+0xae/0x10b [<ffffffff810f9b56>] sys_write+0x4a/0x6e [<ffffffff81011b82>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Signed-off-by: Xiaotian Feng <dfeng@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2010-02-04syslog: distinguish between /proc/kmsg and syscallsKees Cook4-7/+13
This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls. By default, the commoncaps will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg file descriptor. For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop privileges after opening /proc/kmsg, instead of staying privileged with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. MAC systems that implement security_syslog have unchanged behavior.

2010-01-27TOMOYO: Remove usage counter for temporary memory.Tetsuo Handa6-71/+29
TOMOYO was using own memory usage counter for detecting memory leak. But as kernel 2.6.31 introduced memory leak detection mechanism ( CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK ), we no longer need to have own counter. We remove usage counter for memory used for permission checks, but we keep usage counter for memory used for policy so that we can apply quota.

2010-01-25selinux: remove dead code in type_attribute_bounds_av()KaiGai Kohei1-39/+4
This patch removes dead code in type_attribute_bounds_av(). Due to the historical reason, the type boundary feature is delivered from hierarchical types in libsepol, it has supported boundary features both of subject type (domain; in most cases) and target type. However, we don't have any actual use cases in bounded target types, and it tended to make conceptual confusion. So, this patch removes the dead code to apply boundary checks on the target types. I makes clear the TYPEBOUNDS restricts privileges of a certain domain bounded to any other domain.

2010-01-18selinux: change the handling of unknown classesStephen Smalley4-120/+88
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>.

2010-01-15security: correct error returns for get/set security with private inodesJames Morris1-2/+2
Currently, the getsecurity and setsecurity operations return zero for kernel private inodes, where xattrs are not available directly to userspace. This confuses some applications, and does not conform to the man page for getxattr(2) etc., which state that these syscalls should return ENOTSUP if xattrs are not supported or disabled. Note that in the listsecurity case, we still need to return zero as we don't know which other xattr handlers may be active. For discussion of userland confusion, see: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg17988.html This patch corrects the error returns so that ENOTSUP is reported to userspace as required.

2009-11-24remove CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES compile optionSerge E. Hallyn2-79/+2
As far as I know, all distros currently ship kernels with default CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y. Since having the option on leaves a 'no_file_caps' option to boot without file capabilities, the main reason to keep the option is that turning it off saves you (on my s390x partition) 5k. In particular, vmlinux sizes came to: without patch fscaps=n: 53598392 without patch fscaps=y: 53603406 with this patch applied: 53603342 with the security-next tree. Against this we must weigh the fact that there is no simple way for userspace to figure out whether file capabilities are supported, while things like per-process securebits, capability bounding sets, and adding bits to pI if CAP_SETPCAP is in pE are not supported with SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=n, leaving a bit of a problem for applications wanting to know whether they can use them and/or why something failed. It also adds another subtly different set of semantics which we must maintain at the risk of severe security regressions. So this patch removes the SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES compile option. It drops the kernel size by about 50k over the stock SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y kernel, by removing the cap_limit_ptraced_target() function.

2009-11-24SELinux: print denials for buggy kernel with unknown permsEric Paris2-1/+8
Historically we've seen cases where permissions are requested for classes where they do not exist. In particular we have seen CIFS forget to set i_mode to indicate it is a directory so when we later check something like remove_name we have problems since it wasn't defined in tclass file. This used to result in a avc which included the permission 0x2000 or something. Currently the kernel will deny the operations (good thing) but will not print ANY information (bad thing). First the auditdeny field is no extended to include unknown permissions. After that is fixed the logic in avc_dump_query to output this information isn't right since it will remove the permission from the av and print the phrase "<NULL>".

2009-11-20security/tomoyo: Remove now unnecessary handling of security_sysctl.Eric W. Biederman3-95/+0
Now that sys_sysctl is an emulation on top of proc sys all sysctl operations look like normal filesystem operations and we don't need to use the special sysctl hook to authenticate them.

2009-11-20security/tomoyo: Add a special case to handle accesses through the internal proc mount.Eric W. Biederman1-0/+9
With the change of sys_sysctl going through the internal proc mount we no longer need to handle security_sysctl in tomoyo as we have valid pathnames for all sysctl accesses. There is one slight caveat to that in that all of the paths from the internal mount look like "/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" instead of "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" so tomoyo needs to add the "/proc" portion manually when resolving to full path names to get what it expects. This change teaches tomoyo perform that modification. Acked-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Acked-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
