* selinux: don't pass in NULL avd to avc_has_perm_noauditLinus Torvalds2011-05-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy entry for that case and just generally test it. Don't do it. The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this helper function is incredibly hot. So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit() do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case. This also avoids some duplicated stack space.

Given the policy we are expecting to use in Fedora this takes the worst case list run from about 5,000 entries to 17.

| * SELinux: skip filename trans rules if ttype does not match parent dirEric Paris2011-04-281-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now we walk to filename trans rule list for every inode that is created. First passes at policy using this facility creates around 5000 filename trans rules. Running a list of 5000 entries every time is a bad idea. This patch adds a new ebitmap to policy which has a bit set for each ttype that has at least 1 filename trans rule. Thus when an inode is created we can quickly determine if any rules exist for this parent directory type and can skip the list if we know there is definitely no relevant entry.

* SELinux: Use dentry name in new object labelingEric Paris2011-02-011-14/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently SELinux has rules which label new objects according to 3 criteria. The label of the process creating the object, the label of the parent directory, and the type of object (reg, dir, char, block, etc.) This patch adds a 4th criteria, the dentry name, thus we can distinguish between creating a file in an etc_t directory called shadow and one called motd. There is no file globbing, regex parsing, or anything mystical. Either the policy exactly (strcmp) matches the dentry name of the object or it doesn't. This patch has no changes from today if policy does not implement the new rules. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

* selinux: fast status update interface (/selinux/status)KaiGai Kohei2010-10-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a new /selinux/status entry which allows applications read-only mmap(2). This region reflects selinux_kernel_status structure in kernel space. struct selinux_kernel_status { u32 length; /* length of this structure */ u32 sequence; /* sequence number of seqlock logic */ u32 enforcing; /* current setting of enforcing mode */ u32 policyload; /* times of policy reloaded */ u32 deny_unknown; /* current setting of deny_unknown */ }; When userspace object manager caches access control decisions provided by SELinux, it needs to invalidate the cache on policy reload and setenforce to keep consistency. However, the applications need to check the kernel state for each accesses on userspace avc, or launch a background worker process. In heuristic, frequency of invalidation is much less than frequency of making access control decision, so it is annoying to invoke a system call to check we don't need to invalidate the userspace cache. If we can use a background worker thread, it allows to receive invalidation messages from the kernel. But it requires us an invasive coding toward the base application in some cases; E.g, when we provide a feature performing with SELinux as a plugin module, it is unwelcome manner to launch its own worker thread from the module. If we could map /selinux/status to process memory space, application can know updates of selinux status; policy reload or setenforce. A typical application checks selinux_kernel_status::sequence when it tries to reference userspace avc. If it was changed from the last time when it checked userspace avc, it means something was updated in the kernel space. Then, the application can reset userspace avc or update current enforcing mode, without any system call invocations. This sequence number is updated according to the seqlock logic, so we need to wait for a while if it is odd number.

* selinux: convert the policy type_attr_map to flex_arrayEric Paris2010-08-021-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current selinux policy can have over 3000 types. The type_attr_map in policy is an array sized by the number of types times sizeof(struct ebitmap) (12 on x86_64). Basic math tells us the array is going to be of length 3000 x 12 = 36,000 bytes. The largest 'safe' allocation on a long running system is 16k. Most of the time a 32k allocation will work. But on long running systems a 64k allocation (what we need) can fail quite regularly. In order to deal with this I am converting the type_attr_map to use flex_arrays. Let the library code deal with breaking this into PAGE_SIZE pieces. -v2 rework some of the if(!obj) BUG() to be BUG_ON(!obj) drop flex_array_put() calls and just use a _get() object directly -v3 make apply to James' tree (drop the policydb_write changes) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Stephen D.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>". This takes us back to the behavior before the classmap rewrite. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

This removes compatibility code introduced when the original single netlink security class used for all netlink sockets was split into finer-grained netlink classes based on netlink protocol and when permission checking was added based on netlink message type in Linux 2.6.8. The only known distribution that shipped with SELinux and policy < 18 was Fedora Core 2, which was EOL'd on 2005-04-11. Given that the remapping code was never updated to address the addition of newer netlink classes, that the corresponding userland support was dropped in 2005, and that the assumptions made by the remapping code about the fixed ordering among netlink classes in the policy may be violated in the future due to the dynamic class/perm discovery support, we should drop this compatibility code now.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify SELinux to dynamically discover class and permission values upon policy load, based on the dynamic object class/perm discovery logic from libselinux. A mapping is created between kernel-private class and permission indices used outside the security server and the policy values used within the security server. The mappings are only applied upon kernel-internal computations; similar mappings for the private indices of userspace object managers is handled on a per-object manager basis by the userspace AVC. The interfaces for compute_av and transition_sid are split for kernel vs. userspace; the userspace functions are distinguished by a _user suffix. The kernel-private class indices are no longer tied to the policy values and thus do not need to skip indices for userspace classes; thus the kernel class index values are compressed. The flask.h definitions were regenerated by deleting the userspace classes from refpolicy's definitions and then regenerating the headers. Going forward, we can just maintain the flask.h, av_permissions.h, and classmap.h definitions separately from policy as they are no longer tied to the policy values. The next patch introduces a utility to automate generation of flask.h and av_permissions.h from the classmap.h definitions. The older kernel class and permission string tables are removed and replaced by a single security class mapping table that is walked at policy load to generate the mapping. The old kernel class validation logic is completely replaced by the mapping logic. The handle unknown logic is reworked. reject_unknown=1 is handled when the mappings are computed at policy load time, similar to the old handling by the class validation logic. allow_unknown=1 is handled when computing and mapping decisions - if the permission was not able to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then it is automatically added to the allowed vector. If the class was not able to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then all permissions are allowed for it if allow_unknown=1. avc_audit leverages the new security class mapping table to lookup the class and permission names from the kernel-private indices. The mdp program is updated to use the new table when generating the class definitions and allow rules for a minimal boot policy for the kernel. It should be noted that this policy will not include any userspace classes, nor will its policy index values for the kernel classes correspond with the ones in refpolicy (they will instead match the kernel-private indices).

Since the v2.6.26 kernel, SELinux has supported an idea of permissive domain which allows certain processes to work as if permissive mode, even if the global setting is enforcing mode. However, we don't have an application program interface to inform what domains are permissive one, and what domains are not. It means applications focuses on SELinux (XACE/SELinux, SE-PostgreSQL and so on) cannot handle permissive domain correctly. This patch add the sixth field (flags) on the reply of the /selinux/access interface which is used to make an access control decision from userspace. If the first bit of the flags field is positive, it means the required access control decision is on permissive domain, so application should allow any required actions, as the kernel doing. This patch also has a side benefit. The av_decision.flags is set at context_struct_compute_av(). It enables to check required permissions without read_lock(&policy_rwlock).

* | Add audit messages on type boundary violationsKaiGai Kohei2009-06-191-19/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch adds support to generate audit messages on two cases. The first one is a case when a multi-thread process tries to switch its performing security context using setcon(3), but new security context is not bounded by the old one. type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1245311998.599:17): \ op=security_bounded_transition result=denied \ oldcontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 \ newcontext=system_u:system_r:guest_webapp_t:s0 The other one is a case when security_compute_av() masked any permissions due to the type boundary violation. type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1245312836.035:32): \ op=security_compute_av reason=bounds \ scontext=system_u:object_r:user_webapp_t:s0 \ tcontext=system_u:object_r:shadow_t:s0:c0 \ tclass=file perms=getattr,open Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

* SELinux: remove unused av.decided fieldEric Paris2009-02-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears there was an intention to have the security server only decide certain permissions and leave other for later as some sort of a portential performance win. We are currently always deciding all 32 bits of permissions and this is a useless couple of branches and wasted space. This patch completely drops the av.decided concept. This in a 17% reduction in the time spent in avc_has_perm_noaudit based on oprofile sampling of a tbench benchmark.

| * selinux: Fix a problem in security_netlbl_sid_to_secattr()Paul Moore2008-10-101-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when SELinux fails to allocate memory in security_netlbl_sid_to_secattr() the NetLabel LSM domain field is set to NULL which triggers the default NetLabel LSM domain mapping which may not always be the desired mapping. This patch fixes this by returning an error when the kernel is unable to allocate memory. This could result in more failures on a system with heavy memory pressure but it is the "correct" thing to do. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Acked-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
| * selinux: Fix an uninitialized variable BUG/panic in selinux_secattr_to_sid()Paul Moore2008-10-041-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field. The code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior, including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used. This patch fixes the problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help prevent future problems. Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
