2013-10-28Smack: Ptrace access check modeCasey Schaufler
When the ptrace security hooks were split the addition of a mode parameter was not taken advantage of in the Smack ptrace access check. This changes the access check from always looking for read and write access to using the passed mode. This will make use of /proc much happier.

2013-10-18Smack: Implement lock security modeCasey Schaufler
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.

2013-08-12Smack: parse multiple rules per write to load2, up to PAGE_SIZE-1 bytesRafal Krypa
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. In case when user buffer is larger, it will be additionally truncated. All characters after last \n will not get parsed to avoid partial rule near input buffer boundary.

2013-08-06Smack: IPv6 casting error fix for 3.11Casey Schaufler
The original implementation of the Smack IPv6 port based local controls works most of the time using a sockaddr as a temporary variable, but not always as it overflows in some circumstances. The correct data is a sockaddr_in6. A struct sockaddr isn't as large as a struct sockaddr_in6. There would need to be casting one way or the other. This patch gets it the right way.

2013-08-01Smack: network label match fixCasey Schaufler
The Smack code that matches incoming CIPSO tags with Smack labels reaches through the NetLabel interfaces and compares the network data with the CIPSO header associated with a Smack label. This was done in a ill advised attempt to optimize performance. It works so long as the categories fit in a single capset, but this isn't always the case. This patch changes the Smack code to use the appropriate NetLabel interfaces to compare the incoming CIPSO header with the CIPSO header associated with a label. It will always match the CIPSO headers correctly. Targeted for git://git.gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2013-08-01security: smack: add a hash table to quicken smk_find_entry()Tomasz Stanislawski
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.

2013-03-19Fix NULL pointer dereference in smack_inode_unlink() and smack_inode_rmdir()Igor Zhbanov
This patch fixes kernel Oops because of wrong common_audit_data type in smack_inode_unlink() and smack_inode_rmdir(). When SMACK security module is enabled and SMACK logging is on (/smack/logging is not zero) and you try to delete the file which 1) you cannot delete due to SMACK rules and logging of failures is on or 2) you can delete and logging of success is on, you will see following: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000002d7 [<...>] (strlen+0x0/0x28) [<...>] (audit_log_untrustedstring+0x14/0x28) [<...>] (common_lsm_audit+0x108/0x6ac) [<...>] (smack_log+0xc4/0xe4) [<...>] (smk_curacc+0x80/0x10c) [<...>] (smack_inode_unlink+0x74/0x80) [<...>] (security_inode_unlink+0x2c/0x30) [<...>] (vfs_unlink+0x7c/0x100) [<...>] (do_unlinkat+0x144/0x16c) The function smack_inode_unlink() (and smack_inode_rmdir()) need to log two structures of different types. First of all it does: smk_ad_init(&ad, __func__, LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY); smk_ad_setfield_u_fs_path_dentry(&ad, dentry); This will set common audit data type to LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY and store dentry for auditing (by function smk_curacc(), which in turn calls dump_common_audit_data(), which is actually uses provided data and logs it). /* * You need write access to the thing you're unlinking */ rc = smk_curacc(smk_of_inode(ip), MAY_WRITE, &ad); if (rc == 0) { /* * You also need write access to the containing directory */ Then this function wants to log anoter data: smk_ad_setfield_u_fs_path_dentry(&ad, NULL); smk_ad_setfield_u_fs_inode(&ad, dir); The function sets inode field, but don't change common_audit_data type. rc = smk_curacc(smk_of_inode(dir), MAY_WRITE, &ad); } So the dump_common_audit() function incorrectly interprets inode structure as dentry, and Oops will happen. This patch reinitializes common_audit_data structures with correct type. Also I removed unneeded smk_ad_setfield_u_fs_path_dentry(&ad, NULL); initialization, because both dentry and inode pointers are stored in the same union.

This patch removes empty rules (i.e. with access set to '-') from the rule list presented to user space. Smack by design never removes labels nor rules from its lists. Access for a rule may be set to '-' to effectively disable it. Such rules would show up in the listing generated when /smack/load or /smack/load2 is read. This may cause clutter if many rules were disabled. As a rule with access set to '-' is equivalent to no rule at all, they may be safely hidden from the listing.

2012-05-14Smack: allow for significantly longer Smack labels v4Casey Schaufler
V4 updated to current linux-security#next Targeted for git://gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git Modern application runtime environments like to use naming schemes that are structured and generated without human intervention. Even though the Smack limit of 23 characters for a label name is perfectly rational for human use there have been complaints that the limit is a problem in environments where names are composed from a set or sources, including vendor, author, distribution channel and application name. Names like softwarehouse-pgwodehouse-coolappstore-mellowmuskrats are becoming harder to avoid. This patch introduces long label support in Smack. Labels are now limited to 255 characters instead of the old 23. The primary reason for limiting the labels to 23 characters was so they could be directly contained in CIPSO category sets. This is still done were possible, but for labels that are too large a mapping is required. This is perfectly safe for communication that stays "on the box" and doesn't require much coordination between boxes beyond what would have been required to keep label names consistent. The bulk of this patch is in smackfs, adding and updating administrative interfaces. Because existing APIs can't be changed new ones that do much the same things as old ones have been introduced. The Smack specific CIPSO data representation has been removed and replaced with the data format used by netlabel. The CIPSO header is now computed when a label is imported rather than on use. This results in improved IP performance. The smack label is now allocated separately from the containing structure, allowing for larger strings. Four new /smack interfaces have been introduced as four of the old interfaces strictly required labels be specified in fixed length arrays. The access interface is supplemented with the check interface: access "Subject Object rwxat" access2 "Subject Object rwaxt" The load interface is supplemented with the rules interface: load "Subject Object rwxat" load2 "Subject Object rwaxt" The load-self interface is supplemented with the self-rules interface: load-self "Subject Object rwxat" load-self2 "Subject Object rwaxt" The cipso interface is supplemented with the wire interface: cipso "Subject lvl cnt c1 c2 ..." cipso2 "Subject lvl cnt c1 c2 ..." The old interfaces are maintained for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

I'm not sure, but can call trace happen where somewhere inside network filesystem or stackable filesystem code with locks held invokes operations that involves GFP_KENREL memory allocation outside that filesystem? ---------- [PATCH] SMACK: Fix incorrect GFP_KERNEL usage. new_inode_smack() which can be called from smack_inode_alloc_security() needs to use GFP_NOFS like SELinux's inode_alloc_security() does, for security_inode_alloc() is called from inode_init_always() and inode_init_always() is called from xfs_inode_alloc() which is using GFP_NOFS. smack_inode_init_security() needs to use GFP_NOFS like selinux_inode_init_security() does, for initxattrs() callback function (e.g. btrfs_initxattrs()) which is called from security_inode_init_security() is using GFP_NOFS. smack_audit_rule_match() needs to use GFP_ATOMIC, for security_audit_rule_match() can be called from audit_filter_user_rules() and audit_filter_user_rules() is called from audit_filter_user() with RCU read lock held.

2012-05-14Smack: recursive tramsmuteCasey Schaufler
The transmuting directory feature of Smack requires that the transmuting attribute be explicitly set in all cases. It seems the users of this facility would expect that the transmuting attribute be inherited by subdirectories that are created in a transmuting directory. This does not seem to add any additional complexity to the understanding of how the system works. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2012-04-18Smack: move label list initializationCasey Schaufler
A kernel with Smack enabled will fail if tmpfs has xattr support. Move the initialization of predefined Smack label list entries to the LSM initialization from the smackfs setup. This became an issue when tmpfs acquired xattr support, but was never correct. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com>

It isn't needed. If you don't set the type of the data associated with that type it is a pretty obvious programming bug. So why waste the cycles? Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-04-03lsm_audit: don't specify the audit pre/post callbacks in 'struct ↵Linus Torvalds
common_audit_data' It just bloats the audit data structure for no good reason, since the only time those fields are filled are just before calling the common_lsm_audit() function, which is also the only user of those fields. So just make them be the arguments to common_lsm_audit(), rather than bloating that structure that is passed around everywhere, and is initialized in hot paths.

2012-04-03LSM: shrink the common_audit_data data unionEric Paris
After shrinking the common_audit_data stack usage for private LSM data I'm not going to shrink the data union. To do this I'm going to move anything larger than 2 void * ptrs to it's own structure and require it to be declared separately on the calling stack. Thus hot paths which don't need more than a couple pointer don't have to declare space to hold large unneeded structures. I could get this down to one void * by dealing with the key struct and the struct path. We'll see if that is helpful after taking care of networking.

2012-04-03LSM: shrink sizeof LSM specific portion of common_audit_dataEric Paris
Linus found that the gigantic size of the common audit data caused a big perf hit on something as simple as running stat() in a loop. This patch requires LSMs to declare the LSM specific portion separately rather than doing it in a union. Thus each LSM can be responsible for shrinking their portion and don't have to pay a penalty just because other LSMs have a bigger space requirement.
