[PATCH] audit: always enable syscall auditing when supported and audit is enabled

by Paul Moore

To the best of our knowledge, everyone who enables audit at compile time also enables syscall auditing; this patch simplifies the Kconfig menus by removing the option to disable syscall auditing when audit is selected and the target arch supports it.

[PATCH V3 0/3] Add support for session ID user filtering

This third patch is expected to have a merge conflict with: "audit: add exclude filter extension to feature bitmap" posted on 2016-08-18.

[userspace PATCH v2 0/3] Add support for sessionid user filters, sessionid_set

by Richard Guy Briggs

Add support for sessionid, sessionid_set (first two patches) and feature bitmap detection of the kernel feature (third patch) in user filters. This is to implement issue "ghak4": https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/4 https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/wiki/RFE-Session-ID-User-Filter This patchset should be added after loginuid_set and exclude filter extension to avoid merge conflicts. Richard Guy Briggs (3): Add userspace support for session ID user filter. Add sessionid_set option from kernel uapi macro AUDIT_SESSIONID_SET Check sessionID* fields available in kernel trunk/lib/errormsg.h | 1 + trunk/lib/fieldtab.h | 2 ++ trunk/lib/libaudit.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ trunk/lib/libaudit.h | 11 +++++++++++ 4 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

[userspace PATCH v2 0/2] Add support for loginuid_set

by Richard Guy Briggs

loginuid_set support should have been added to userspace when it was added to the kernel around v3.10. Add it before we do similar for sessionID and sessionID_set. There will be a number of users of features_bitmap within the same function (exclude filter extension, sessionID filter), so refactor audit_rule_fieldpair_data() to put audit_get_features earlier in the function. Richard Guy Briggs (2): get feature list only once Add user filter option loginuid_set from uapi macro AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET trunk/lib/errormsg.h | 2 ++ trunk/lib/fieldtab.h | 2 ++ trunk/lib/libaudit.c | 17 ++++++++++++++++- trunk/lib/libaudit.h | 6 ++++++ 4 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

Question regarding ntpd

by Sullivan, Daniel [CRI]

Hi, I have what I hope to be a quick question regarding auditing ntpd. I am looking at my auditd log file and I see this same entry being repeated every second: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1475012493.972:5325): arch=c000003e syscall=159 success=yes exit=0 a0=7ffd7498eb00 a1=861 a2=0 a3=1 items=0 ppid=1 pid=5357 auid=4294967295 uid=38 gid=38 euid=38 suid=38 fsuid=38 egid=38 sgid=38 fsgid=38 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="ntpd" exe="/usr/sbin/ntpd" key="time-change" type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1475012494.971:5326): arch=c000003e syscall=159 success=yes exit=0 a0=7ffd7498eb00 a1=861 a2=0 a3=1 items=0 ppid=1 pid=5357 auid=4294967295 uid=38 gid=38 euid=38 suid=38 fsuid=38 egid=38 sgid=38 fsgid=38 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="ntpd" exe="/usr/sbin/ntpd" key="time-change" type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1475012495.972:5327): arch=c000003e syscall=159 success=yes exit=0 a0=7ffd7498eb00 a1=861 a2=0 a3=1 items=0 ppid=1 pid=5357 auid=4294967295 uid=38 gid=38 euid=38 suid=38 fsuid=38 egid=38 sgid=38 fsgid=38 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="ntpd" exe="/usr/sbin/ntpd" key="time-change” This is generating large amounts of log data. I am not an expert in auditd log analysis. Is this expected behavior? I am unsure of what the key time-change value of this log data is, and am wondering if this indicates some sort of misconfiguration or problem with ntpd. From looking at the output of tcpdump it does not look like I am polling every second, so I am wondering why this activity is occurring. If anybody could advise on how to decipher these log entries I would appreciate it. Thank you for your help and advisement.

[userspace PATCH v2 0/2] add support for more fields to the exclude filter

Add userspace support for the exclude filter extension of subject credentials, including detection of the feature in the kernel.

ausearch checkpoint question

by LC Bruzenak

I'm using the 2.4.5-3 audit rpm set and I tried using the ausearch "checkpoint" option a couple weeks ago. This was on a moderately busy system (judging by my own systems/experience) generating say 300-400MB of data/day. I tried the checkpoint option in a 5-minute cron job, and I noticed that in comparison to the "-ts recent" option, it took far longer to complete. The "recent" option result was less than a second, whereas the checkpoint version took ~20 seconds every 5 minutes. It's possible there were other factors at play; e.g. it was used on a mls-policy machine, and although I saw no AVCs, it's possible there were some access issues I didn't have time to investigate. On my intended application, I'll be on a standard targeted-policy machine so this won't be a potential factor. I need to test this again, as I'm considering using the ausearch checkpoint capability for some new requirements, I was wondering if perhaps there were any timing results done or if there are any tips and tricks to getting the most out of it. Also - the man page section describing this is a little confusing to me so if anyone has a script segment that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance, LCB -- LC Bruzenak magitekltd.com

The default file for krb5_key_file is missing from the auditd.conf(5) manual

by Mateusz Piotrowski

Hello, See this line[1]. It lacks the name of the default file. As I don't know what the default file is I cannot submit a patch. Hopefully, someone else can fix this file. Cheers! -Mateusz [1]: https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/blob/master/docs/auditd.co...
