audit: audit_tree_match can be boolean

2015-11-04T13:23:51+00:00

This patch makes audit_tree_match return bool to improve readability
due to this particular function only using either one or zero as its
return value.

No functional change.

 "This is one of the larger audit patchsets in recent history,
  consisting of eight patches and almost 400 lines of changes.

  The bulk of the patchset is the new "audit by executable"
  functionality which allows admins to set an audit watch based on the
  executable on disk.  Prior to this, admins could only track an
  application by PID, which has some obvious limitations.

  Beyond the new functionality we also have some refcnt fixes and a few
  minor cleanups"

audit: implement audit by executable

2015-08-06T20:17:25+00:00

This adds the ability audit the actions of a not-yet-running process.

This patch implements the ability to filter on the executable path.  Instead of
just hard coding the ino and dev of the executable we care about at the moment
the rule is inserted into the kernel, use the new audit_fsnotify
infrastructure to manage this dynamically.  This means that if the filename
does not yet exist but the containing directory does, or if the inode in
question is unlinked and creat'd (aka updated) the rule will just continue to
work.  If the containing directory is moved or deleted or the filesystem is
unmounted, the rule is deleted automatically.  A future enhancement would be to
have the rule survive across directory disruptions.

This is a heavily modified version of a patch originally submitted by Eric
Paris with some ideas from Peter Moody.

audit: clean simple fsnotify implementation

2015-08-06T20:14:53+00:00

This is to be used to audit by executable path rules, but audit watches should
be able to share this code eventually.

At the moment the audit watch code is a lot more complex.  That code only
creates one fsnotify watch per parent directory.  That 'audit_parent' in
turn has a list of 'audit_watches' which contain the name, ino, dev of
the specific object we care about.  This just creates one fsnotify watch
per object we care about.  So if you watch 100 inodes in /etc this code
will create 100 fsnotify watches on /etc.  The audit_watch code will
instead create 1 fsnotify watch on /etc (the audit_parent) and then 100
individual watches chained from that fsnotify mark.

We should be able to convert the audit_watch code to do one fsnotify
mark per watch and simplify things/remove a whole lot of code.  After
that conversion we should be able to convert the audit_fsnotify code to
support that hierarchy if the optimization is necessary.

Move the access to the entry for audit_match_signal() to the beginning of
the audit_del_rule() function in case the entry found is the same one passed
in.  This will enable it to be used by audit_autoremove_mark_rule(),
kill_rules() and audit_remove_parent_watches().

This is a heavily modified and merged version of two patches originally
submitted by Eric Paris.

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
 "Seven audit patches for v4.1, all bug fixes.

  The largest, and perhaps most significant commit helps resolve some
  memory pressure issues related to the inode cache and audit, there are
  also a few small commits which help resolve some timing issues with
  the audit log queue, and the rest fall into the always popular "code
  clean-up" category.

  In general, nothing really substantial, just a nice set of maintenance
  patches"

  audit: Remove condition which always evaluates to false
  audit: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file

audit: consolidate handling of mm->exe_file

2015-02-23T21:55:47+00:00

This patch adds a audit_log_d_path_exe() helper function
to share how we handle auditing of the exe_file's path.
Used by both audit and auditsc. No functionality is changed.

audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters

2015-01-23T05:23:58+00:00

In order to ensure that filenames are not released before the audit
subsystem is done with the strings there are a number of hacks built
into the fs and audit subsystems around getname() and putname().  To
say these hacks are "ugly" would be kind.

This patch removes the filename hackery in favor of a more
conventional reference count based approach.  The diffstat below tells
most of the story; lots of audit/fs specific code is replaced with a
traditional reference count based approach that is easily understood,
even by those not familiar with the audit and/or fs subsystems.

audit: Use struct net not pid_t to remember the network namespce to reply in

2014-03-20T14:10:53+00:00

While reading through 3.14-rc1 I found a pretty siginficant mishandling
of network namespaces in the recent audit changes.

In struct audit_netlink_list and audit_reply add a reference to the
network namespace of the caller and remove the userspace pid of the
caller.  This cleanly remembers the callers network namespace, and
removes a huge class of races and nasty failure modes that can occur
when attempting to relook up the callers network namespace from a pid_t
(including the caller's network namespace changing, pid wraparound, and
the pid simply not being present).

audit: Audit proc//cmdline aka proctitle

2014-03-20T14:10:52+00:00

During an audit event, cache and print the value of the process's
proctitle value (proc//cmdline). This is useful in situations
where processes are started via fork'd virtual machines where the
comm field is incorrect. Often times, setting the comm field still
is insufficient as the comm width is not very wide and most
virtual machine "package names" do not fit. Also, during execution,
many threads have their comm field set as well. By tying it back to
the global cmdline value for the process, audit records will be more
complete in systems with these properties. An example of where this
is useful and applicable is in the realm of Android. With Android,
their is no fork/exec for VM instances. The bare, preloaded Dalvik
VM listens for a fork and specialize request. When this request comes
in, the VM forks, and the loads the specific application (specializing).
This was done to take advantage of COW and to not require a load of
basic packages by the VM on very app spawn. When this spawn occurs,
the package name is set via setproctitle() and shows up in procfs.
Many of these package names are longer then 16 bytes, the historical
width of task->comm. Having the cmdline in the audit records will
couple the application back to the record directly. Also, on my
Debian development box, some audit records were more useful then
what was printed under comm.

The cached proctitle is tied to the life-cycle of the audit_context
structure and is built on demand.

Proctitle is controllable by userspace, and thus should not be trusted.
It is meant as an aid to assist in debugging. The proctitle event is
emitted during syscall audits, and can be filtered with auditctl.
