auditing signals
Hello auditors and auditees...
Have you got any rules or tests to test audit logging signals or ptrace?
I thought I understood how it worked, but it appears I need to signal a task group.
I was a little less sure of how to trigger a ptrace audit log, but also figured that out.
I wrote up an audit-testsuite test case to test it and it made two seperate sys_kill calls
which generated two events rather than the one I was looking for to fill the aux_pids
structure.
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-testsuite/compare/master...rgbriggs:...
It is essentially:
sleep 5& t1=$!
sleep 5& t2=$!
auditctl -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S kill -F key=testkill
kill -TERM $t1 $t2
sleep 1
auditctl -d always,exit -F arch=b64 -S kill -F key=testkill
sleep 2 # let the queue drain
ausearch -ts recent -i -k testkill
The output looks something like this when I was hoping for one event with two OBJ_PID
records.

Now the trick is how to trigger more than one OBJ_PID record in a single syscall, which
was the original goal of the exercise. It looks like it might need to be a signal sent to
a process group with more than one task or a task that has threaded.
Can anyone suggest a simple test preferrably using our audit-testsuite perl infrasructure
to get more than one OBJ_PID record?
The code in question was introduced:
c2f0c7c356dc <sgrubb(a)redhat.com> 2005-05-06 audit_signal_info AUDIT_TERM_INFO
(single pid)
e54dc2431d74 <amy.griffis(a)hp.com> 2007-03-29 ("[PATCH] audit signal
recipients") (multi-pid)
When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security
context for each target process.
Optimize the data collection by adding a counter for
signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an aux struct unless we have more than one
target process.
For process groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16.
Move the audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so
we audit attempts where permission is denied.
a5cb013da773 <viro(a)zeniv.linux.org.uk> 2007-03-20 ("[PATCH] auditing
ptrace")
As a bit of an aside, it occurs to me that there could be information overwritten if
signal information was stored before ptrace information stored since ptrace uses the
context->target_* slot directly whereas signals check to see if that slot is used first
and then overflows to the context->aux_pids structure. If the ptrace information is
always guaranteed to come first or alone, there is no issue.
If you are still reading this far, the interest in this arose from trying to find a way to
connect potentially multiple OBJ_PID records with different CONTAINER_ID records in the
ghak90 Audit Container ID patchset rather than using the op= field.
Thanks!
