Samba and AuditD
by Alan Evangelista
I have installed audit 2.8.5 on a CentOS 7 and set up the following rule in
/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules:
-w /data
/data is shared via Samba to a Windows Server 2016 system. If I write to
/data in the CentOS7 system, I get the open syscall event in the auditd
log. If I write to the same directory in the Windows Server 2016, I see the
file in the /data directory in the CentOS7 system, but the event is not
logged by audit. Is that the expected behavior?
Thanks in advance.

audit 3.0.1 released
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
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:
- Update syscall table to the 5.11 kernel
- Add new --eoe-timeout option to ausearch and aureport (Burn Alting)
- Only enable periodic timers when listening on the network
- Upgrade libev to 4.33
- Add auparse_new_buffer function to auparse library
- Use the select libev backend unless aggregating events
- Add sudoers to some base audit rules
- Update the auparse normalizer for some new syscalls and event types
This release features 2 new experimental plugins. The statsd plugin should be
ready to try out. The other IDS plugin is more of a long term work in
progress. No timeline for it's development, either. (There is a known bug
where the ids plugin fails to build in some environments. There is a brand
new commit in github fixing this. Grab it if it fails to build.)
During the work for statsd, I found that the audit daemon is a little more
active than it should be. This was because it was enabling periodic timers
that are used to detect dead network connections when the daemon is configured
to be an aggregator. This is fixed and libev was updated to the latest
release. While I was in the libev section of code I did some testing betweek
using select and epoll as the event backend. Turns out select is about 4 ms
faster. So, as long as auditd is not receiving network events, it will use
select. If it does receive network events, then it will continue to use epoll
in case it needs a lot of descriptors.
Ausearch/report now have a new command line option to --eoe-timeout to help
gather event records into the right event if they were slow getting output.
Auditd also has a setting that could be considered the eoe_timeout default
setting. Libauparse automatically tries to read this if it has the
permissions.
SHA256: 994c4250d8fd43f3087a3c2ce73461832e30f1e9b278bf5bb03c3e07091155a5
Please let me know if you run across any problems with this release.

Auditd statsd integration
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
I have recently checked in to the audit tree 2 experimental plugins. You can
enable them by passing --enable-experimental to configure. One of the new
plugins is aimed at providing audit metrics to a statsd server. The idea
being that you can use this to relay the metrics to influxdb, prometheus or
some other collector. Then you can use Grafana to visualize and alert.
Currently, it supports the following metrics:
kernel.audit.lost
kernel.audit.backlog
auditd.free_space
auditd.plugin_current_depth
auditd.plugin_max_depth
audit_events.total_count
audit_events.total_failed
audit_events.avc_count
audit_events.fanotify_count
audit_events.logins_failed
audit_events.logins_success
audit_events.anomaly_count
audit_events.response_count
I'd be interested in hearing if this would be useful. And if these are the
right metrics that people are interested in. Should something else be
measured? Should an example Grafana dashboard be included?
Let me know what you think.

[PATCH 2/2] audit: show (grand)parents information of an audit context
by Daniel Walker
From: Phil Zhang <xuanyzha(a)cisco.com>
To ease the root cause analysis of SELinux AVCs, this new feature
traverses task structs to iteratively find all parent processes
starting with the denied process and ending at the kernel. Meanwhile,
it prints out the command lines and subject contexts of those parents.
This provides developers a clear view of how processes were spawned
and where transitions happened, without the need to reproduce the
issue and manually audit interesting events.
Example on bash over ssh:
$ runcon -u system_u -r system_r -t polaris_hm_t ls
...
type=PARENT msg=audit(1610548241.033:255): subj=root:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 cmdline="-bash"
type=PARENT msg=audit(1610548241.033:255): subj=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 cmdline="sshd: root@pts/0"
type=PARENT msg=audit(1610548241.033:255): subj=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 cmdline="/tmp/sw/rp/0/0/rp_security/mount/usr/sbin/sshd
type=PARENT msg=audit(1610548241.033:255): subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 cmdline="/init"
type=PARENT msg=audit(1610548241.033:255): subj=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0

[PATCH 1/2] audit: show user land backtrace as part of audit context messages
by Daniel Walker
From: Victor Kamensky <kamensky(a)cisco.com>
To efficiently find out where SELinux AVC denial is comming from
take backtrace of user land process and display it as type=UBACKTRACE
message that comes as audit context for SELinux AVC and other audit
messages.
By default UBACKTRACE context messages are off. Needs to be enabled
through audit AUDIT_FEATURE_UBACKTRACE_CONTEXT feature.
Context UBACKTRACE message example:
type=UBACKTRACE msg=audit(1574205625.557:30): backtrace=libc-2.30.so+0xc99ab:dmesg.util-linux+0x1483:libc-2.30.so+0x1e35:dmesg.util-linux+0x1e5a
I.e because of ASLR instead of absolute user land addresses, name
of executable or library captured and followed by offset from text
segment vma. To decode backtrace entry: find executable or library
symbol file, find its text segment vma and add offset to it; run
'addr2line -f -e symbol_file resulting_address'.
Note feature depends on PERF_EVENTS, from perf subsystem it uses
perf_callchain_user function on architectures where it is implemented.
And it has the same capturing restriction as 'perf -g': user land code
must be compiled with -fno-omit-frame-pointer option, otherwise kernel
is not capable walk user land stack frames.
