net,lsm,selinux: revert the security_sctp_assoc_established() hook

2021-11-12T17:07:02+00:00

This patch reverts two prior patches, e7310c94024c
("security: implement sctp_assoc_established hook in selinux") and
7c2ef0240e6a ("security: add sctp_assoc_established hook"), which
create the security_sctp_assoc_established() LSM hook and provide a
SELinux implementation.  Unfortunately these two patches were merged
without proper review (the Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags from
Richard Haines were for previous revisions of these patches that
were significantly different) and there are outstanding objections
from the SELinux maintainers regarding these patches.

Work is currently ongoing to correct the problems identified in the
reverted patches, as well as others that have come up during review,
but it is unclear at this point in time when that work will be ready
for inclusion in the mainline kernel.  In the interest of not keeping
objectionable code in the kernel for multiple weeks, and potentially
a kernel release, we are reverting the two problematic patches.

security: add sctp_assoc_established hook

2021-11-03T11:09:20+00:00

security_sctp_assoc_established() is added to replace
security_inet_conn_established() called in
sctp_sf_do_5_1E_ca(), so that asoc can be accessed in security
subsystem and save the peer secid to asoc->peer_secid.

v1->v2:
  - fix the return value of security_sctp_assoc_established() in
    security.h, found by kernel test robot and Ondrej.

security: call security_sctp_assoc_request in sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce

2021-11-03T11:09:20+00:00

The asoc created when receives the INIT chunk is a temporary one, it
will be deleted after INIT_ACK chunk is replied. So for the real asoc
created in sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce() when the COOKIE_ECHO chunk is received,
security_sctp_assoc_request() should also be called.

v1->v2:
  - fix some typo and grammar errors, noticed by Ondrej.

security: pass asoc to sctp_assoc_request and sctp_sk_clone

2021-11-03T11:09:20+00:00

This patch is to move secid and peer_secid from endpoint to association,
and pass asoc to sctp_assoc_request and sctp_sk_clone instead of ep. As
ep is the local endpoint and asoc represents a connection, and in SCTP
one sk/ep could have multiple asoc/connection, saving secid/peer_secid
for new asoc will overwrite the old asoc's.

Note that since asoc can be passed as NULL, security_sctp_assoc_request()
is moved to the place right after the new_asoc is created in
sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() and sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init().

v1->v2:
  - fix the description of selinux_netlbl_skbuff_setsid(), as Jakub noticed.
  - fix the annotation in selinux_sctp_assoc_request(), as Richard Noticed.

Merge tag 'docs-5.14' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

2021-06-28T23:53:05+00:00

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes:

   - Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from
     hell, but it has gotten a little better.

   - Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the
     tool itself.

   - A major update to the pathname lookup documentation.

   - Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create
     references from filenames without all the extra noise.

   - The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues.

  Plus, of course, the usual collection of updates, typo fixes, and
  warning fixes"

The :doc:`foo` tag is auto-generated via automarkup.py.
So, use the filename at the sources, instead of :doc:`foo`.

ima: Define new template evm-sig

2021-06-03T14:02:37+00:00

With the recent introduction of the evmsig template field, remote verifiers
can obtain the EVM portable signature instead of the IMA signature, to
verify file metadata.

After introducing the new fields to include file metadata in the
measurement list, this patch finally defines the evm-sig template, whose
format is:

d-ng|n-ng|evmsig|xattrnames|xattrlengths|xattrvalues|iuid|igid|imode

xattrnames, xattrlengths and xattrvalues are populated only from defined
EVM protected xattrs, i.e. the ones that EVM considers to verify the
portable signature. xattrnames and xattrlengths are populated only if the
xattr is present.

xattrnames and xattrlengths are not necessary for verifying the EVM
portable signature, but they are included for completeness of information,
if a remote verifier wants to infer more from file metadata.

ima: Define new template fields xattrnames, xattrlengths and xattrvalues

2021-06-02T22:56:13+00:00

This patch defines the new template fields xattrnames, xattrlengths and
xattrvalues, which contain respectively a list of xattr names (strings,
separated by |), lengths (u32, hex) and values (hex). If an xattr is not
present, the name and length are not displayed in the measurement list.

ima: Define new template field imode

2021-06-01T19:17:30+00:00

This patch defines the new template field imode, which includes the
inode mode. It can be used by a remote verifier to verify the EVM portable
signature, if it was included with the template fields sig or evmsig.
