2014-08-28Smack: Bring-up access modeCasey Schaufler5-27/+294
People keep asking me for permissive mode, and I keep saying "no". Permissive mode is wrong for more reasons than I can enumerate, but the compelling one is that it's once on, never off. Nonetheless, there is an argument to be made for running a process with lots of permissions, logging which are required, and then locking the process down. There wasn't a way to do that with Smack, but this provides it. The notion is that you start out by giving the process an appropriate Smack label, such as "ATBirds". You create rules with a wide range of access and the "b" mode. On Tizen it might be: ATBirds System rwxalb ATBirds User rwxalb ATBirds _ rwxalb User ATBirds wb System ATBirds wb Accesses that fail will generate audit records. Accesses that succeed because of rules marked with a "b" generate log messages identifying the rule, the program and as much object information as is convenient. When the system is properly configured and the programs brought in line with the labeling scheme the "b" mode can be removed from the rules. When the system is ready for production the facility can be configured out. This provides the developer the convenience of permissive mode without creating a system that looks like it is enforcing a policy while it is not.

2014-08-08Smack: remove unneeded NULL-termination from securtity labelKonstantin Khlebnikov1-3/+3
Values of extended attributes are stored as binary blobs. NULL-termination of them isn't required. It just wastes disk space and confuses command-line tools like getfattr because they have to print that zero byte at the end. This patch removes terminating zero byte from initial security label in smack_inode_init_security and cuts it out in function smack_inode_getsecurity which is used by syscall getxattr. This change seems completely safe, because function smk_parse_smack ignores everything after first zero byte. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <k.khlebnikov@samsung.com>
2014-08-08Smack: handle zero-length security labels without panicKonstantin Khlebnikov2-3/+3
Zero-length security labels are invalid but kernel should handle them. This patch fixes kernel panic after setting zero-length security labels: # attr -S -s "SMACK64" -V "" file And after writing zero-length string into smackfs files syslog and onlycp: # python -c 'import os; os.write(1, "")' > /smack/syslog The problem is caused by brain-damaged logic in function smk_parse_smack() which takes pointer to buffer and its length but if length below or equal zero it thinks that the buffer is zero-terminated. Unfortunately callers of this function are widely used and proper fix requires serious refactoring. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <k.khlebnikov@samsung.com>
2014-08-08Smack: fix behavior of smack_inode_listsecurityKonstantin Khlebnikov1-5/+4
Security operation ->inode_listsecurity is used for generating list of available extended attributes for syscall listxattr. Currently it's used only in nfs4 or if filesystem doesn't provide i_op->listxattr. The list is the set of NULL-terminated names, one after the other. This method must include zero byte at the and into result. Also this function must return length even if string does not fit into output buffer or it is NULL, see similar method in selinux and man listxattr.

2014-08-01netlabel: shorter names for the NetLabel catmap funcs/structsPaul Moore3-13/+13
Historically the NetLabel LSM secattr catmap functions and data structures have had very long names which makes a mess of the NetLabel code and anyone who uses NetLabel. This patch renames the catmap functions and structures from "*_secattr_catmap_*" to just "*_catmap_*" which improves things greatly. There are no substantial code or logic changes in this patch.

2014-08-01netlabel: fix the horribly broken catmap functionsPaul Moore1-4/+1
The NetLabel secattr catmap functions, and the SELinux import/export glue routines, were broken in many horrible ways and the SELinux glue code fiddled with the NetLabel catmap structures in ways that we probably shouldn't allow. At some point this "worked", but that was likely due to a bit of dumb luck and sub-par testing (both inflicted by yours truly). This patch corrects these problems by basically gutting the code in favor of something less obtuse and restoring the NetLabel abstractions in the SELinux catmap glue code. Everything is working now, and if it decides to break itself in the future this code will be much easier to debug than the code it replaces. One noteworthy side effect of the changes is that it is no longer necessary to allocate a NetLabel catmap before calling one of the NetLabel APIs to set a bit in the catmap. NetLabel will automatically allocate the catmap nodes when needed, resulting in less allocations when the lowest bit is greater than 255 and less code in the LSMs. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Christian Evans <frodox@zoho.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Tested-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2014-08-01netlabel: fix a problem when setting bits below the previously lowest bitPaul Moore1-1/+1
The NetLabel category (catmap) functions have a problem in that they assume categories will be set in an increasing manner, e.g. the next category set will always be larger than the last. Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption and could result in problems when attempting to set categories less than the startbit in the lowest catmap node. In some cases kernel panics and other nasties can result. This patch corrects the problem by checking for this and allocating a new catmap node instance and placing it at the front of the list.

2014-04-23Smack: Verify read access on file open - v3Casey Schaufler1-3/+16
Smack believes that many of the operatons that can be performed on an open file descriptor are read operations. The fstat and lseek system calls are examples. An implication of this is that files shouldn't be open if the task doesn't have read access even if it has write access and the file is being opened write only.

2014-04-11SMACK: Fix handling value==NULL in post setxattrJosé Bollo1-1/+3
The function `smack_inode_post_setxattr` is called each time that a setxattr is done, for any value of name. The kernel allow to put value==NULL when size==0 to set an empty attribute value. The systematic call to smk_import_entry was causing the dereference of a NULL pointer hence a KERNEL PANIC! The problem can be produced easily by issuing the command `setfattr -n user.data file` under bash prompt when SMACK is active. Moving the call to smk_import_entry as proposed by this patch is correcting the behaviour because the function smack_inode_post_setxattr is called for the SMACK's attributes only if the function smack_inode_setxattr validated the value and its size (what will not be the case when size==0). It also has a benefical effect to not fill the smack hash with garbage values coming from any extended attribute write.

2014-04-11Smack: unify all ptrace accesses in the smackLukasz Pawelczyk1-13/+71
The decision whether we can trace a process is made in the following functions: smack_ptrace_traceme() smack_ptrace_access_check() smack_bprm_set_creds() (in case the proces is traced) This patch unifies all those decisions by introducing one function that checks whether ptrace is allowed: smk_ptrace_rule_check(). This makes possible to actually trace with TRACEME where first the TRACEME itself must be allowed and then exec() on a traced process. Additional bugs fixed: - The decision is made according to the mode parameter that is now correctly translated from PTRACE_MODE_* to MAY_* instead of being treated 1:1. PTRACE_MODE_READ requires MAY_READ. PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH requires MAY_READWRITE. - Add a smack audit log in case of exec() refused by bprm_set_creds(). - Honor the PTRACE_MODE_NOAUDIT flag and don't put smack audit info in case this flag is set.

2013-12-31Smack: Rationalize mount restrictionsCasey Schaufler1-54/+29
The mount restrictions imposed by Smack rely heavily on the use of the filesystem "floor", which is the label that all processes writing to the filesystem must have access to. It turns out that while the "floor" notion is sound, it has yet to be fully implemented and has never been used. The sb_mount and sb_umount hooks only make sense if the filesystem floor is used actively, and it isn't. They can be reintroduced if a rational restriction comes up. Until then, they get removed. The sb_kern_mount hook is required for the option processing. It is too permissive in the case of unprivileged mounts, effectively bypassing the CAP_MAC_ADMIN restrictions if any of the smack options are specified. Unprivileged mounts are no longer allowed to set Smack filesystem options. Additionally, the root and default values are set to the label of the caller, in keeping with the policy that objects get the label of their creator.

2013-10-18Smack: Implement lock security modeCasey Schaufler4-8/+33
Linux file locking does not follow the same rules as other mechanisms. Even though it is a write operation a process can set a read lock on files which it has open only for read access. Two programs with read access to a file can use read locks to communicate. This is not acceptable in a Mandatory Access Control environment. Smack treats setting a read lock as the write operation that it is. Unfortunately, many programs assume that setting a read lock is a read operation. These programs are unhappy in the Smack environment. This patch introduces a new access mode (lock) to address this problem. A process with lock access to a file can set a read lock. A process with write access to a file can set a read lock or a write lock. This prevents a situation where processes are granted write access just so they can set read locks.

Smack interface for loading rules has always parsed only single rule from data written to it. This requires user program to call one write() per each rule it wants to load. This change makes it possible to write multiple rules, separated by new line character. Smack will load at most PAGE_SIZE-1 characters and properly return number of processed bytes.

2013-08-01security: smack: add a hash table to quicken smk_find_entry()Tomasz Stanislawski3-9/+37
Accepted for the smack-next tree after changing the number of slots from 128 to 16. This patch adds a hash table to quicken searching of a smack label by its name. Basically, the patch improves performance of SMACK initialization. Parsing of rules involves translation from a string to a smack_known (aka label) entity which is done in smk_find_entry(). The current implementation of the function iterates over a global list of smack_known resulting in O(N) complexity for smk_find_entry(). The total complexity of SMACK initialization becomes O(rules * labels). Therefore it scales quadratically with a complexity of a system. Applying the patch reduced the complexity of smk_find_entry() to O(1) as long as number of label is in hundreds. If the number of labels is increased please update SMACK_HASH_SLOTS constant defined in security/smack/smack.h. Introducing the configuration of this constant with Kconfig or cmdline might be a good idea. The size of the hash table was adjusted experimentally. The rule set used by TIZEN contains circa 17K rules for 500 labels. The table above contains results of SMACK initialization using 'time smackctl apply' bash command. The 'Ref' is a kernel without this patch applied. The consecutive values refers to value of SMACK_HASH_SLOTS. Every measurement was repeated three times to reduce noise. | Ref | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128 | 256 | 512 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run1 | 1.156 | 1.096 | 0.883 | 0.764 | 0.692 | 0.667 | 0.649 | 0.633 | 0.634 | 0.629 | 0.620 Run2 | 1.156 | 1.111 | 0.885 | 0.764 | 0.694 | 0.661 | 0.649 | 0.651 | 0.634 | 0.638 | 0.623 Run3 | 1.160 | 1.107 | 0.886 | 0.764 | 0.694 | 0.671 | 0.661 | 0.638 | 0.631 | 0.624 | 0.638 AVG | 1.157 | 1.105 | 0.885 | 0.764 | 0.693 | 0.666 | 0.653 | 0.641 | 0.633 | 0.630 | 0.627 Surprisingly, a single hlist is slightly faster than a double-linked list. The speed-up saturates near 64 slots. Therefore I chose value 128 to provide some margin if more labels were used. It looks that IO becomes a new bottleneck.

2013-08-01security: smack: fix memleak in smk_write_rules_list()Tomasz Stanislawski1-22/+11
The smack_parsed_rule structure is allocated. If a rule is successfully installed then the last reference to the object is lost. This patch fixes this leak. Moreover smack_parsed_rule is allocated on stack because it no longer needed ofter smk_write_rules_list() is finished. Signed-off-by: Tomasz Stanislawski <t.stanislaws@samsung.com>
2013-07-25xattr: Constify ->name member of "struct xattr".Tetsuo Handa1-6/+3
Since everybody sets kstrdup()ed constant string to "struct xattr"->name but nobody modifies "struct xattr"->name , we can omit kstrdup() and its failure checking by constifying ->name member of "struct xattr".

2013-06-08Security: Add Hook to test if the particular xattr is part of a MAC model.David Quigley1-0/+11
The interface to request security labels from user space is the xattr interface. When requesting the security label from an NFS server it is important to make sure the requested xattr actually is a MAC label. This allows us to make sure that we get the desired semantics from the attribute instead of something else such as capabilities or a time based LSM.

2013-06-03Smack: Fix the bug smackcipso can't set CIPSO correctlyPassion,Zhao1-1/+1
Bug report: https://tizendev.org/bugs/browse/TDIS-3891 The reason is userspace libsmack only use "smackfs/cipso2" long-label interface, but the code's logical is still for orginal fixed length label. Now update smack_cipso_apply() to support flexible label (<=256 including tailing '\0') There is also a bug in kernel/security/smack/smackfs.c: When smk_set_cipso() parsing the CIPSO setting from userspace, the offset of CIPSO level should be "strlen(label)+1" instead of "strlen(label)" Signed-off-by: Passion,Zhao <passion.zhao@intel.com>
