audit: fix info leak in AUDIT_GET requests

2013-12-04T18:50:32+00:00

commit 64fbff9ae0a0a843365d922e0057fc785f23f0e3 upstream.

We leak 4 bytes of kernel stack in response to an AUDIT_GET request as
we miss to initialize the mask member of status_set. Fix that.

audit: use nlmsg_len() to get message payload length

2013-12-04T18:50:31+00:00

commit 4d8fe7376a12bf4524783dd95cbc00f1fece6232 upstream.

Using the nlmsg_len member of the netlink header to test if the message
is valid is wrong as it includes the size of the netlink header itself.
Thereby allowing to send short netlink messages that pass those checks.

Use nlmsg_len() instead to test for the right message length. The result
of nlmsg_len() is guaranteed to be non-negative as the netlink message
already passed the checks of nlmsg_ok().

Also switch to min_t() to please checkpatch.pl.

audit: printk USER_AVC messages when audit isn't enabled

2013-12-04T18:50:31+00:00

commit 0868a5e150bc4c47e7a003367cd755811eb41e0b upstream.

When the audit=1 kernel parameter is absent and auditd is not running,
AUDIT_USER_AVC messages are being silently discarded.

AUDIT_USER_AVC messages should be sent to userspace using printk(), as
mentioned in the commit message of 4a4cd633 ("AUDIT: Optimise the
audit-disabled case for discarding user messages").

When audit_enabled is 0, audit_receive_msg() discards all user messages
except for AUDIT_USER_AVC messages. However, audit_log_common_recv_msg()
refuses to allocate an audit_buffer if audit_enabled is 0. The fix is to
special case AUDIT_USER_AVC messages in both functions.

It looks like commit 50397bd1 ("[AUDIT] clean up audit_receive_msg()")
introduced this bug.

Use evil merge to fix up grammar mistakes in Kconfig file.

Bad speling and horrible grammar (and copious swearing) is to be
expected, but let's keep it to commit messages and comments, rather than
expose it to users in config help texts or printouts.

audit: no leading space in audit_log_d_path prefix

2012-01-17T21:17:04+00:00

audit_log_d_path() injects an additional space before the prefix,
which serves no purpose and doesn't mix well with other audit_log*()
functions that do not sneak extra characters into the log.

audit: drop the meaningless and format breaking word 'user'

2012-01-17T21:16:54+00:00

userspace audit messages look like so:

type=USER msg=audit(1271170549.415:24710): user pid=14722 uid=0 auid=500 ses=1 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg=''

That third field just says 'user'.  That's useless and doesn't follow the
key=value pair we are trying to enforce.  We already know it came from the
user based on the record type.  Kill that word.  Die.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://selinuxproject.org/~jmorris/linux-security

2012-01-15T02:36:33+00:00

* 'for-linus' of git://selinuxproject.org/~jmorris/linux-security:
  capabilities: remove __cap_full_set definition
  security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()
  ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat
  capabilities: remove task_ns_* functions
  capabitlies: ns_capable can use the cap helpers rather than lsm call
  capabilities: style only - move capable below ns_capable
  capabilites: introduce new has_ns_capabilities_noaudit
  capabilities: call has_ns_capability from has_capability
  capabilities: remove all _real_ interfaces
  capabilities: introduce security_capable_noaudit
  capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capable
  capabilities: remove the task from capable LSM hook entirely
  selinux: sparse fix: fix several warnings in the security server cod
  selinux: sparse fix: fix warnings in netlink code
  selinux: sparse fix: eliminate warnings for selinuxfs
  selinux: sparse fix: declare selinux_disable() in security.h
  selinux: sparse fix: move selinux_complete_init
  selinux: sparse fix: make selinux_secmark_refcount static
  SELinux: Fix RCU deref check warning in sel_netport_insert()

Manually fix up a semantic mis-merge wrt security_netlink_recv():

 - the interface was removed in commit fd7784615248 ("security: remove
   the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()")

 - a new user of it appeared in commit a38f7907b926 ("crypto: Add
   userspace configuration API")

causing no automatic merge conflict, but Eric Paris pointed out the
issue.

audit: always follow va_copy() with va_end()

2012-01-08T22:15:21+00:00

A call to va_copy() should always be followed by a call to va_end() in
the same function.  In kernel/autit.c::audit_log_vformat() this is not
always done.  This patch makes sure va_end() is always called.

security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()

2012-01-05T23:53:01+00:00

Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective
capabilities from the skb that was being received.  Today we instead get
the capabilities from the current task.  This has rendered the entire
purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the
capable() call.
