Error on stop
by Mont Rothstein
When I stop auditd I get an error even though it gives me an OK.
The error is:
Error receiving watch list (Unknown error 4294967274)
I saw a long but closed bug on this. Before I went and appened info to a
closed bug I thought I should ask here first.
I am on audit-1.0.12 is this still a bug in this version, and if it is do I
need to worry about it?
My output from uname -a is:
Linux rheles4rs1.forayadams.foray.com 2.6.9-11.EL #1 Fri May 20 18:17:57 EDT

[PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing
by Dustin Kirkland
Hi-
I've reworked the handling of IPC auditing altogether. I did this with
Klaus Weidner of atsec over my shoulder for much of it. He helped and
advised exactly where the ipc code should be hooked and approved of the
coverage at this point in terms of LSPP certification. To that extent,
I very much thank Klaus and invite him to add any additional comments to
this post.
There are two key changes in this patch against Al's current git tree:
1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
functions:
- audit_ipc_obj()
- audit_ipc_new_perm()
There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This
audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it
is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places
where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.
The audit_ipc_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
(and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
each instance).
2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_NEW_PERM audit message type. This allows
for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct
audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally,
the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-)
Note that this does:
- Change the format of the audit record (sorry test guys)
- And add a new audit record that will need to be tested (sorry again
test guys)
The new auxiliary audit record helps clarify the purpose of the separate
messages. And the separate audit_ipc_* functions eliminates the need
for passing known invalid values where those aren't used and
conditionally not printing those instances (which was messy). In the
old case, it was confusing in that the same message type would mix old
and new ids depending on which code called the audit hook. Now, it's
clear what is being recorded.
Thus, with Klaus, I did an exhaustive examination through the ipc code
and we believe that this patch captures all of the pertinent audit
information about ipc objects for LSPP. Note that the ipc/mqueue.c
POSIX message queue filesystem was NOT hooked, as there do not appear to
by any permissions checks in that code. It's our assumption that the
messages necessary will be covered by audit hooks in the filesystem code
as it looks like this ipc type is built on top of that.
I've compiled and booted the kernel with this patch in all valid
combinations of Audit/AuditSystemCall/SELinux compiled in and out. I
have not tested with SELinux and/or Audit off.
I think at this point this patch is ready for inclusion in our LSPP
kernels and some testing. I have a couple of questions that remain:
- I'd like to run these changes carefully by someone very familiar with
the Linux ipc code. There are some strange nuances between msg.c,
sem.c, and shm.c that I'd like to make sure are interpreted correctly.
Al, is this your area?
- There are a couple of warnings that have been in the ipc compilations
for some time now about possibly using setbuf.* before initialization.
I'm wondering if anyone thinks these compiler warnings are founded and
if anyone has suggestions to silence them?
- Finally a careful look that audit_free_aux() is accurately cleaning
up the memory.
Patch below. Thanks!

change lspp ipc auditing
by Steve Grubb
Hi,
The patch below converts IPC auditing to collect sid's and convert to context
string only if it needs to output an audit record. This patch depends on the
inode audit change patch already being applied.

moving audit_free() up into do_exit()
by Alexander Viro
If we want to get full information on syscalls that kill the caller
(exit, exit_group, anything oopsing), we really ought to move audit_free()
into do_exit(), just before the exit_mm() call there.
Impact: we'll generate records for such syscall when it's called
(and gets to the point of no return), not when the resulting zombie gets
reaped. If anyone has objections to that, yell _NOW_.
What we get is, among other things, accurate tty=, exe= and subj=
in such records. We also get much simpler locking, since now _all_
access to ->audit_context is done by process itself in a process-synchronous
context. We don't have to bother with atomic allocations on that path
either.
NOTE: it does change the moment when record is generated and if
something in userland depends on having it postponed until the time when
zombie gets reaped, we will have to change such userland code. I doubt
we have any such place, but that definitely needs an ACK from userland
side of things.

[PATCH] change lspp inode auditing
by Steve Grubb
Hi,
This is a first draft patch to change the auditing of inodes for lspp.
Previously, we were gathering the context instead of the sid. Now in this patch,
we gather just the sid and convert to context only if an audit event is being
output. This patch makes no effort to account for policy_load. It also inserts
some functions that are likely going upstream via Se Linux kernel people. So,
that will need to be resolved before this patch is final. In any event its
good enough to test with. This patch brings the performance hit from
146% down to 11%. We need a similar patch for IPC syscall auditing.

I think you need to be on the 2.6.9-.16.EL kernel at a minimum. Offhand
I
don't remember what's the current RHEL4 kernel, but you need to upgrade
kernels for it to work right.

Not that I disagree with this change in approach, but I think that when
it has come up in the past, there has been concern expressed about the
fact that we could end up not being able to generate the context from
the SID when the audit record is being emitted (due to OOM condition),
and the operation has already occurred at that point. Of course, there
are also other potential failure cases at the point, so I'm not sure it
is crucial, as long as audit_panic is called as appropriate. Just
wanted to make sure that this point was understood by everyone. But I
agree that pre-allocating the contexts is insane.

Didn't Tim's patch for saving and auditing the netlink sender
SID/context have a similar interface, based on James' proposed API for
iptables? Just need to make sure that we settle on a single interface
used by them all. From later comments below, I think we'll want a
gfp_mask provided and I'm not sure we need the *ctxlen at all, as
SELinux handles the allocation internally.

I'd favor returning an int (0 == success, -errno for failure) and
providing the SID via pointer arg like other interfaces. Or if there
are no possible error cases, make it void, but still supply the SID via
argument.

Unless I'm confused (quite possible ;), the above sequence shouldn't be
necessary and will actually leak the allocated buffer because SELinux
will overwrite the pointer with its own. The SELinux internal
functions
(e.g. security_sid_to_context) handle the allocation of a context
buffer
to the right size and set *ctx to it, so the caller never needs to play
this game. Some of the hook interfaces unfortunately require the
caller to guess and provide a buffer that they allocate, but I don't
think we want to continue that trend. SELinux should just set *ctx to
the context buffer it allocates and you are done. You should likely
pass the gfp_mask down into the SELinux interface and propagate it down
to the internal code so that we can conform with whatever the caller
needs.

I think you need to check for selinux_enabled here, c.f. Darrel's
patches for audit-by-context. Keep in mind that SELinux can be runtime
disabled by init (if SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config).

In that case, the patch writes out the sid number. Given a sid, is
there a way
to find it in the policy on disk? If not, that might be useful to have.

If we record the sid number, do we really need to call audit_panic?

Yes, I copy and pasted and changed the name based on a suggestion from
Darrel.
What is the status of that API? Did it go into 2.6.17 tree? I'd like to
code
to that API if it were available.

OK, will look into this.

Agreed, that was messy.
I'll make changes as you suggested and we can try this again. Is there
a place
I can grab James' iptables SE Linux interface to patch the lspp kernel
with?
I'd like to use that if its accepted/done. It'll make merging Tim's
patch
easier.

Maybe this is a silly idea... but what about just somehow hashing on
(sid,policy_version), where uint policy_version is incremented on each
selinux policy load?
The audit code would fill in an entry for
au_ctx_hash(sid,policy_version),
if it isn't already filled in, when the context would previously have
been
preallocated. But it stores (sid, policy_version) in the audit record,
and grabs the value from the table when it's time to actually log the
entry, i.e. where Steve's current patch fills in the string.
I guess whether this is worth it depends on how likely we are to lose
information with this current patch on a live system.
Anyway, just a thought.

The problem is that by the time you go to snarf it out of the policy on
disk,
it may no longer match the policy in effect at the time of the record
generation.
The hole probably isn't *that* bad if auditd is doing the grovelling.
It's almost
certainly an issue if ausearch is doing the correlation after the
fact....

Format for multiple syscalss in a rule
by Mont Rothstein
The auditctl man page specifies that you may specify multiple syscalls in a
rule, but it doesn't show and I can't figure out the format for this.
Could someone please enlighten me? I am trying to audit all access to files
(read, write, remove). I believe all I need to do is audit open, write, and
rmdir in a single rule. I just can't figure out how to format it.
Thanks,

2.6.16-rc5-mm2 - yet another memory leak...
by Valdis.Kletnieks＠vt.edu
Yet another leak - this time it seems to be the audit_socketcall()
in sys_socketcall().
When I did this, the laptop had been up for about 16 hours, with no network
connectivity. There were about 400K size-32 slab entries outstanding then - later
on it was well over 1.2M after some more uptime.

auditd hanging the system...
by Valdis.Kletnieks＠vt.edu
Running the Fedora devel tree as of a few days ago, and a 2.6.16-rc5-mm3 kernel.
Several times today, my laptop has seized up, with the 'disk activity' light
on solid. After 30 to 120 seconds, it returns. Some poking around after
the last hit finds this:
# ls -l /var/log/audit/
total 25423
-rw-r----- 1 root root 1799972 Mar 14 17:11 audit.log

Wow, something happened at 17:06 or so that caused it to roll through 5 meg of
audit in a minute. So let's take a look at it:

Obviously looks like something is getting seriously stuck and replicating messages.
Plus, it looks like there's some basic info missing on the 'type=SOCKETCALL',
like the issuing process ID, etc....
