audit 0.9.19 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
tomorrow. The Changelog is:
- removed debug code from ausearch
It turns out there was a lone "if" statement accidentally left in from
debugging earlier this week. This was causing segfaults when ausearch -m USER
was issued.
Please let me know if there are any other problems.

splinter work on generic fs notification framework
by Timothy R. Chavez
Hi,
I've CCed some folks that I thought might be interested in this update and may
not be on linux-audit.
Based on recent discussion on LKML and some IRC conversations, a generic file
system notification framework is being written to merge common functionality
between the "auditfs" component of the audit framework and Inotify. This
framework will be mostly comprised of the watch logic implemented by the
"auditfs" component (I_AUDIT, hash table, update hook, helper functions, etc)
and the fsnotify hooks written by Robert Love. User's of this framework will
pass their own callback functions in when adding a watch via this framework
which will effectively be stored on the watch and called from the watch hook
that discovers it.
We introduce fs/watch.c and include/linux/watch.h
Some of the oustanding issues:
o The fsnotify hooks will need to be expanded to cover more of the file system
to fufill CAPP's needs.
o The way we did "movement" notifications is different how Inotify did them.
The trick is to do it such that its mutually beneficial.
o The interface for adding and removing watches should be the same for every
user. I think that the audit_receive_watch|audit_insert/remove_watch bit was
quite slopply done *pats self on back*, so I think this gives me a chance to
redeem myself and make something functional and slightly more sexy.
o Filtering. Should the MAY_* stuff be scrapped... How important is it? I
think it's a bit sloppy and contrived too. It's a fine concept. We'd
ideally like to mitigate throughput where possible, but I think the
'ausearch' tool should work fine for looking only and what's "interesting"
and the netlink speed-up coupled with the backlogs work should help buffer
any impact introduced by the extra records. Opinions?
o I'd like to place an extra field in the record that tells you exactly what
type of action it was... trying to deduce from system call is a bit...
cumbersome... might be nice to have in the log, "action=MODIFIED" or
something.
Feel free to add something..
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but I really should get back to work :)
Anyway... it's a start

Re: audit 0.9.17 released
by Linda Knippers
> Does anyone know of any other bugs regarding audit daemon & utilities?
I don't know that what I'm seeing is a problem with the tools or with
the kernel but I can get my system into a state where I'm seeing lots
of audit records for auditd. The records are for a pid one greater
than the pid that 'auditctl -s' reports.
I'm running the .74 kernel and the 0.9.16 tools on a 2-cpu em64t system
running the x84_64 kernel. I've seen the same condition on my 2-cpu
ia64 box. The condition is semi-repeatable and happens when I've
got a heavy audit load going.
I first saw the condition when running the testfileperms test, trying
to reproduce the panic that Tim/Michael reported. I start it up as
root in a loop in one window:
# while true ; do testfileperms /proc ljk ljk ; done
While this is running, I go through a sequence of restarting the
auditd and enabling syscall auditing for uid=0. (See attached
script.) When the condition happens (it doesn't always), the
system will appear to freeze for about a minute and then start
going again. At this point the audit logs will show huge numbers
of audit records for auditd, then a few for the test program, then
a huge number for auditd, etc. My script shuts off auditing right
away as this test will cycle through the logs very quickly.
What I see is stuff like this. If 'auditctl -s' shows this:
# /sbin/auditctl -s
AUDIT_STATUS: enabled=1 flag=1 pid=3332 rate_limit=0 backlog_limit=256 lost=17986 backlog=0
I'll get audit records like this:
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1121284091.842:3559675): arch=c000003e syscall=1 success=yes exit=246 a0=4
a1=2a9556c000 a2=f6 a3=53 items=0 pid=3333 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0

egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 comm="auditd" exe="/sbin/auditd"
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1121284091.842:3559678): arch=c000003e syscall=202 success=yes exit=1

egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 comm="auditd" exe="/sbin/auditd"
Notice the pid. Is this the worker thread? I don't have sysrq-T data
from this example but from a previous examples, its shown auditd info like
this:

** FILE : testfileperms.c
**
** PURPOSE: The purpose of this test is to verify the file permissions
** of all files under a given directory. The test makes 2 passes
** through all the files.
** Pass 1:
** Using the existing file attributes, verify file
** access as the file owner, group owner and other.
** The results of "open" are used to determine access.
** If the file owner is root, it is expected that access
** will be granted even if permissions are explicitly
** denied.
** Pass 2:
** An attempt is made to chown the file to the provided
** testuser and testgroup.
** If the chown fails, a message is logged and the file
** is skipped.
** If the chown succeeds, a stat is performed to verify
** the chown was effective. If the file owner and group
** has not been modified, a message is logged and the file
** is skipped.
** Once the file is chowned, file permissions are verified
** as the testuser/testgroup.
**
** In all cases, links are skipped.
**
**
** HISTORY:
** 10/04 originated by Dan Jones (danjones(a)us.ibm.com)
** A1 11/18/04 Kris Wilson (krisw(a)us.ibm.com) If access is expected
** but denied, this is not a security problem, it is a
** problem if denial is expected but access allowed. So if
** pass is expected but fail received, this has been deemed
** OK for certification purposes.

audit 0.9.17 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
tomorrow. The Changelog is:
- Fix ausearch buffers to hold long filenames
- Make a0 long long for 64 bit kernels & 32 bit ausearch.
This is a bug fix release. The a0 variable is saved away by ausearch to
identify socketcall's actual multiplexed call. (bind, connect, etc). It was
getting 10 byte long hex numbers rather than 8 byte when 64 bit kernel was
used and user space ausearch was compiled for 32 bits. This caused it to skip
the event as it was considered corrupted.
Please let me know if there are any problems.

audit 0.9.16 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
tomorrow. The Changelog is:
- Adjust umask
- Adjust length of strings for file system watches to not include NUL
- Remove extra error message from audit_send
This release also cleans up messages output for people that do not have file
system auditing in their kernel. Please let me know if there are any
problems.

[RFC/PATCH 0/2] fsnotify/inotify split
by Chris Wright
The following two patches simply split fsnotify from inotify.
There should be no functional change to inotify at all. Perhaps the
split will help identify the interface bits that can easily converge
for inotify and audit. They're completely untested... I started with
inotify-45 in 2.6.13-rc2-mm1, and worked against base 2.6.13-rc2.
My first pass was trivial split, this is my second pass which moves
dnotify and inotify functionality out of fsnotify.h into their respective
corners. I'm sure audit can at least use the hooks, and perhaps more
base inode watch functionality could be shared (at no cost to you! ;-)
