race in audit_log_untrusted_string for task_struct::comm
by Richard Guy Briggs
Hi,
I'm investigating a race in audit_log_untrusted_string() in the case of
task_struct::comm.
Originally from commit 0a4ff8c2 audit_log_task() currently hands
task_struct::comm directly to audit_log_untrusted_string() which can
race if another task/thread on another CPU modifies it between the time
strlen() is called on it and the time it is processed in
audit_log_n_untrustedstring(). I originally thought it was just a
matter of the value being truncated or mixed between old and new values,
but it appears it is worse than that in that it causes following labels
to be dropped. If it just affected the value of comm that was printed,
I am guessing this wouldn't be a big deal since the user can modify this
value anyway and we never did trust it. however, since it affects the
rest of the line, it has to be addressed.
In commit 219f0817 from 2005, Stephen Smalley used get_task_comm() to
get the value of comm to log to audit_log_untrusted_string() which calls
the task_lock. This is quite safe, but incurs overhead that may not be
found acceptable by some.
Eric subsequently used memcpy() in c2a7780e in 2008 in another area of the
code that stores the value for later rather than use it immediately, so
the race issue was not present there, but there is still the danger of
incomplete or mixed text in that field.
Both are safe in terms of avoiding losing other fields. One might have
half-inconsistent information in it, the other incurs locking costs.
I'm inclined to go get_task_comm() in all 5 locations, but if we care
more about locking overhead, I'll switch to memcpy().
Steve, do we care about the integrity of the comm field?
Eric, is the overhead of task_lock unacceptable?
Linked in this thread (should I be able to convince git send-email to
work with me) please find the get_task_comm() patch and the alternate
memcpy() patch.

audit 2.3.5 released
by Steve Grubb
Hi,
I've just released a new version of the audit daemon. It can be downloaded
from http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit. It will also be in rawhide
soon. The ChangeLog is:
- In CRYPTO_KEY_USER events, do not interpret the 'fp' field
- Change formatting of rules listing in auditctl to look like audit.rules
- Change auditctl to do all netlink comm and then print rules
- Add a debug option to ausearch to find skipped events
- Parse subject, auid, and ses in LOGIN events (3.14 kernel changed format)
- In auditd, when shifting logs, ignore the num_logs setting (#950158)
- Allow passing a directory as the input file for ausearch/report (LC Bruzenak)
- Interpret syscall fields in SECCOMP events
- Increase a couple buffers to handle longer input
This release cleans up parsing and interpreting a couple events. There is now
a --debug option to ausearch which will output to stderr any events that
ausearch cannot parse correctly. If anyone finds events using this option, I'd
really like to hear about it.
A big change in this release is that listing rules with auditctl now formats
the output to look like audit.rules.
One other feature to call out is that when aureport/search is passed a file
using the -if option, you can now pass a directory which will allow searching
multiple files. The files still need to have the same numbering scheme that is
currently expected. Thanks goes to Lenny Bruzenak for this.
Please let me know if you run across any problems with this release.

[PATCH 00/12] RFC: steps to make audit pid namespace-safe
by Richard Guy Briggs
This patchset is a revival of some of Eric Biederman's work to make audit
pid-namespace-safe.
In a couple of places, audit was printing PIDs in the task's pid namespace
rather than relative to the audit daemon's pid namespace, which currently is
init_pid_ns.
It also allows processes to log audit user messages in their own pid
namespaces, which was not previously permitted. Please see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947530
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/1160372
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786024
Part of the cleanup here involves deprecating task->pid and task->tgid, which
are error-prone duplicates of the task->pids structure
The next step which I hope to add to this patchset will be to purge task->pid
and task->tgid from the rest of the kernel if possible. Once that is done,
task_pid_nr_init_ns() and task_tgid_nr_init_ns() that were introduced in patch
05/12 and used in patches 06/12 and 08/12 could be replaced with task_pid_nr()
and task_tgid_nr(). Eric B. did take a stab at that, but checking all the
subtleties will be non-trivial.
Does anyone have any opinions or better yet hard data on cache line misses
between pid_nr(struct pid*) and pid_nr_ns(struct pid*, &init_pid_ns)? I'd
like to see pid_nr() use pid_nr_ns(struct pid*, &init_pid_ns), or
pid_nr_init_ns() eliminated in favour of the original pid_nr(). pid_nr()
currently accesses the first level of the pid structure without having to
dereference the level number. If there is an actual speed difference, it could
be worth keeping, otherwise, I'd prefer to simplify that code.
Eric also had a patch to add a printk option to format a struct pid pointer
which was PID namespace-aware. I don't see the point, but I'll let him explain
it.
Discuss.
Eric W. Biederman (5):
audit: Kill the unused struct audit_aux_data_capset
audit: Simplify and correct audit_log_capset
Richard Guy Briggs (7):
audit: fix netlink portid naming and types
pid: get ppid pid_t of task in init_pid_ns safely
audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace.
pid: get pid_t of task in init_pid_ns correctly
audit: store audit_pid as a struct pid pointer
audit: anchor all pid references in the initial pid namespace
pid: modify task_pid_nr to work without task->pid.
pid: modify task_tgid_nr to work without task->tgid.
pid: rewrite task helper functions avoiding task->pid and task->tgid
pid: mark struct task const in helper functions

[RFC PATCH] audit: generic compat system call support
by AKASHI Takahiro
Arm64 supports 32-bit mode(AArch32) and 64-bit mode(AArch64).
To enable audit support, we want to avoid duplicating lib/audit.c
as other arch's do, and instead to use lib/audit.c and extend/re-work it
in order to support compat system calls as well.
Changes are nothing fancy, just copying lib/audit.c and adding hooks
for compat system calls as done in other arch's.
Once this patch is accepted, my aarch64 patch will be rebased on top
of this.
(If you want, I can submit it immediately because it is already working.)

[PATCH] audit: Use struct net not pid_t to remember the network namespce to reply in
by Eric W. Biederman
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).

[PATCH 0/5] audit: add restricted capability read-only netlink multicast socket
by Richard Guy Briggs
Hi,
This patch set adds a restricted capability read-only netlink multicast socket
to kaudit to enable userspace clients such as systemd to consume audit logs, in
addition to the existing bidirectional auditd userspace client.
Currently, auditd has the CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL and CAP_AUDIT_WRITE capabilities
(both use CAP_NET_ADMIN). The CAP_AUDIT_READ capability will be added for use
by read-only AUDIT_NLGRP_READLOG multicast group clients to the kaudit
subsystem.
This is accomplished by modifying the optional netlink per-protocol bind
function to return an error code.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887992
It needs a bit of massage to get past checkpatch.pl...
