From 4a92843601ad0f5067f441d2f0dca55bbe18c076 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Moore Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 12:27:39 -0500 Subject: audit: correctly record file names with different path name types There is a problem with the audit system when multiple audit records are created for the same path, each with a different path name type. The root cause of the problem is in __audit_inode() when an exact match (both the path name and path name type) is not found for a path name record; the existing code creates a new path name record, but it never sets the path name in this record, leaving it NULL. This patch corrects this problem by assigning the path name to these newly created records. There are many ways to reproduce this problem, but one of the easiest is the following (assuming auditd is running): # mkdir /root/tmp/test # touch /root/tmp/test/567 # auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/root/tmp/test # touch /root/tmp/test/567 Afterwards, or while the commands above are running, check the audit log and pay special attention to the PATH records. A faulty kernel will display something like the following for the file creation: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch" type=CWD msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): cwd="/root/tmp" type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=0 name="test/" inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=1 name=(null) inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=2 name=(null) inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL While a patched kernel will show the following: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch" type=CWD msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): cwd="/root/tmp" type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=0 name="test/" inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=1 name="test/567" inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL This issue was brought up by a number of people, but special credit should go to hujianyang@huawei.com for reporting the problem along with an explanation of the problem and a patch. While the original patch did have some problems (see the archive link below), it did demonstrate the problem and helped kickstart the fix presented here. * https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/5/66 Reported-by: hujianyang Signed-off-by: Paul Moore Acked-by: Richard Guy Briggs --- kernel/auditsc.c | 14 ++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel/auditsc.c') diff --git a/kernel/auditsc.c b/kernel/auditsc.c index 89335723fb2a..287b3d381174 100644 --- a/kernel/auditsc.c +++ b/kernel/auditsc.c @@ -1877,12 +1877,18 @@ void __audit_inode(struct filename *name, const struct dentry *dentry, } out_alloc: - /* unable to find the name from a previous getname().

This patch resolves the issue by creating a copy of the filename which the audit subsystem frees after it is done with the string. At some point it would be nice to resolve this issue with refcounts, or something similar, instead of having to allocate/copy strings, but that is almost surely beyond the scope of a -rcX patch so we'll defer that for later. On the plus side, only audit users should be impacted by the string copying.
