[PATCH ghak28 V4] audit: log audit netlink multicast bind and unbind events
by Richard Guy Briggs
Log information about programs connecting to and disconnecting from the
audit netlink multicast socket. This is needed so that during
investigations a security officer can tell who or what had access to the
audit trail. This helps to meet the FAU_SAR.2 requirement for Common
Criteria. Here is the systemd startup event:
type=UNKNOWN[1335] msg=audit(2020-01-17 10:30:33.731:6) : pid=1 uid=root auid=unset tty=(none) ses=unset subj=kernel comm=systemd exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd nl-mcgrp=1 op=connect res=yes
And the events from the test suite:
type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(2020-01-17 10:36:24.050:294) : proctitle=/usr/bin/perl -w amcast_joinpart/test
type=SOCKADDR msg=audit(2020-01-17 10:36:24.050:294) : saddr={ saddr_fam=netlink nlnk-fam=16 nlnk-pid=0 }
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(2020-01-17 10:36:24.050:294) : arch=x86_64 syscall=bind success=yes exit=0 a0=0x7 a1=0x55d65cb79090 a2=0xc a3=0x0 items=0 ppid=671 pid=674 auid=root uid=root gid=root euid=root suid=root fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root tty=ttyS0 ses=3 comm=perl exe=/usr/bin/perl subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)
type=UNKNOWN[1335] msg=audit(2020-01-17 10:36:24.050:294) : pid=674 uid=root auid=root tty=ttyS0 ses=3 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 comm=perl exe=/usr/bin/perl nl-mcgrp=1 op=connect res=yes
type=UNKNOWN[1335] msg=audit(2020-01-17 10:36:24.051:295) : pid=674 uid=root auid=root tty=ttyS0 ses=3 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 comm=perl exe=/usr/bin/perl nl-mcgrp=1 op=disconnect res=yes

Note: msg type 1334 was skipped due to BPF accepted in another tree.
Note: v5 due to previous 2014-10-07, 2015-07-23, 2016-11-30, 2017-10-13
Note: subj attrs included due to missing syscall record for systemd (audit=1)
Note: tried refactor of subj attrs, but this is yet another new order.

Auditing a program use but not what it is doing
by MAUPERTUIS, PHILIPPE
Hi,
Like many, we are using aide and clamav.
I woud like to have an audit record when these program are run but no records for what they are doing.
I mean, I want to know that clamscan or aide has been launched but not that it checks say /etc/passwd whatever rules could be in place for /etc/passwd
Thanks

[PATCH 1/3] sched: Remove __rcu annotation from cred pointer
by Amol Grover
task_struct::cred (subjective credentials) is *always* used
task-synchronously, hence, does not require RCU semantics.
task_struct::real_cred (objective credentials) can be used in
RCU context and its __rcu annotation is retained.
However, task_struct::cred and task_struct::real_cred *may*
point to the same object, hence, the object pointed to by
task_struct::cred *may* have RCU delayed freeing.

ausearch on the fly
by MAUPERTUIS, PHILIPPE
Hi,
We are centralizing the audit logs with rsyslog.
The SIEM behind the central log server is unable to process the raw logs.
We would like to push the ausearch result in CSV format in real time or near real time.
Is there a way to have ausearch working from a pipe and and waiting when no logs are received
Regards

audisp-remote
by MAUPERTUIS, PHILIPPE
Hi,
Apart the man pages, I didn’t find anything useful relating to audisp-remote.
I am searching information on how it scales ? Is there any performance issue ?
How to use it in a large environment ? ….
Most of what I found dated a long time ago and mainly said use rsyslog instead.
It seems that centralizing the messages through rsyslog is far more popular.
Is audisp-remote really used ?
The man page read :
tcp_max_per_addr
This is a numeric value which indicates how many concurrent connections from one IP address is allowed. The
default is 1 and the maximum is 1024. Setting this too large may allow for a Denial of Service attack on the log‐
ging server. Also note that the kernel has an internal maximum that will eventually prevent this even if auditd
allows it by config. The default should be adequate in most cases unless a custom written recovery script runs to
forward unsent events. In this case you would increase the number only large enough to let it in too.
Where could I find an example of recovery script ?
Could it be a way to inject the audit message in auditd after having receiving them via rsyslog ?
This might be useful just because, by default ausearch in all available logs and the -if parameter accepts only one file.
Maybe my lack of knowledge about auditd leads me to write rubbish.
If so, please direct me to where I can find how to manage and use audit logs after centralizing them.
Not only keeping them but acutually using them.

USBguard bug
by Burn Alting
All,
I need some advice.
Currently when the USB management framework, usbguard (
https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard), is building it's key-value pairs prior to
calling audit_log_user_message() with a AUDIT_USER_DEVICE type, it looks at each
value and decides to hex encode the value if any character in the value matches
the expression (str[i] == '"' || str[i] < 0x21 || str[i] == 0x7F). This can be found
in https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard/blob/master/src/Daemon/LinuxAuditBac...
where it makes the call
audit_log_user_message(_audit_fd, AUDIT_USER_DEVICE, message.c_str(),
/*hostname=*/nullptr, /*addr=*/nullptr, /*tty=*/nullptr, result);
As a result, one sees audit events such as
type=USER_DEVICE msg=audit(1580255002.606:352190): pid=3115 uid=0 auid=4294967295
ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 msg='op="changed-

I have a number of questions
- What is the best recommendation I can make in a bug report I'd like to raise so
that the auparse library can reliably interpret all their key's values?
- Should I also request they actually provide hostname and addr values to
audit_log_user_message()?
- If one want them to identify the user who participates in the activity what is the
best recommendation to make in terms of keys in the message?
Thanks in advance
