[PATCH] audit: make sure we don't let the retry queue grow without bounds
by Paul Moore
From: Paul Moore <paul(a)paul-moore.com>
The retry queue is intended to provide a temporary buffer in the case
of transient errors when communicating with auditd, it is not meant
as a long life queue, that functionality is provided by the hold
queue.
This patch fixes a problem identified by Seth where the retry queue
could grow uncontrollably if an auditd instance did not connect to
the kernel to drain the queues. This commit fixes this by doing the
following:
* Make sure we always call auditd_reset() if we decide the connection
with audit is really dead. There were some cases in
kauditd_hold_skb() where we did not reset the connection, this patch
relocates the reset calls to kauditd_thread() so all the error
conditions are caught and the connection reset. As a side effect,
this means we could move auditd_reset() and get rid of the forward
definition at the top of kernel/audit.c.
* We never checked the status of the auditd connection when
processing the main audit queue which meant that the retry queue
could grow unchecked. This patch adds a call to auditd_reset()
after the main queue has been processed if auditd is not connected,
the auditd_reset() call will make sure the retry and hold queues are
correctly managed/flushed so that the retry queue remains reasonable.

Result of auditctl -s
by warron.french
Hi can someone tell me what I need to do, if anything, about failure: 1
after executing *auditctl -s* please?
I am trying to troubleshoot but cannot find anything that looks obvious in
either my
*/var/log/audit/audit.log* or my */var/log/messages* files.
I am working on a Puppet Module to implement this stuff and I am not sure
if I am running into a conflict of restarting the auditd service after
either/both of the files /etc/audit/audit.rules or /etc/audit/auditd.conf
are updated.
Thanks in advance,

audit 2.7.5 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:
- In auparse, output socket family name if unsupported but known
- In auparse, store arch & syscall fields in SECCOMP records for
interpretation
- In auparse_normalize, create an event_kind for seccomp events
- In auparse, when interpreting discard 'unknown' enriched fields
This release has less development than normal. This is because I run across
two bugs that I thought merit getting an updated audit daemon out sooner than
later. The first bug was reported Laurent Bigonville where it was noticed that
ausearch could be caused to segfault when it encountered a PF_PACKET socket
address.
The other bug was that SECCOMP events were not resolving the syscall when the
enriched event logging format was being used. This was corrected both in the
creation of records and in searching records that already had bad data in
them.
SHA256: 9ca4142fb6809367070a3f3449979055fa2daeb12a0a88c4874a0cfd02133922
Please let me know if you run across any problems with this release.

[RFC PATCH] audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state tracking
by Paul Moore
From: Paul Moore <paul(a)paul-moore.com>
What started as a rather straightforward race condition reported by
Dmitry using the syzkaller fuzzer ended up revealing some major
problems with how the audit subsystem managed its netlink sockets and
its connection with the userspace audit daemon. Fixing this properly
had quite the cascading effect and what we are left with is this rather
large and complicated patch. My initial goal was to try and decompose
this patch into multiple smaller patches, but the way these changes
are intertwined makes it difficult to split these changes into
meaningful pieces that don't break or somehow make things worse for
the intermediate states.
The patch makes a number of changes, but the most significant are
highlighted below:
* The auditd tracking variables, e.g. audit_sock, are now gone and
replaced by a RCU/spin_lock protected variable auditd_conn which is
a structure containing all of the auditd tracking information.
* We no longer track the auditd sock directly, instead we track it
via the network namespace in which it resides and we use the audit
socket associated with that namespace. In spirit, this is what the
code was trying to do prior to this patch (at least I think that is
what the original authors intended), but it was done rather poorly
and added a layer of obfuscation that only masked the underlying
problems.
* Big backlog queue cleanup, again. In v4.10 we made some pretty big
changes to how the audit backlog queues work, here we haven't changed
the queue design so much as cleaned up the implementation. Brought
about by the locking changes, we've simplified kauditd_thread() quite
a bit by consolidating the queue handling into a new helper function,
kauditd_send_queue(), which allows us to eliminate a lot of very
similar code and makes the looping logic in kauditd_thread() clearer.
* All netlink messages sent to auditd are now sent via
auditd_send_unicast_skb(). Other than just making sense, this makes
the lock handling easier.
* Change the audit_log_start() sleep behavior so that we never sleep
on auditd events (unchanged) or if the caller is holding the
audit_cmd_mutex (changed). Previously we didn't sleep if the caller
was auditd or if the message type fell between a certain range; the
type check was a poor effort of doing what the cmd_mutex check now
does. Richard Guy Briggs originally proposed not sleeping the
cmd_mutex owner several years ago but his patch wasn't acceptable
at the time. At least the idea lives on here.
* A problem with the lost record counter has been resolved. Steve
Grubb and I both happened to notice this problem and according to
some quick testing by Steve, this problem goes back quite some time.
It's largely a harmless problem, although it may have left some
careful sysadmins quite puzzled.

audit regressions in 4.11
by Seth Forshee
I've observed audit regressions in 4.11-rc when not using a userspace
audit daemon. The most obvious issue is that audit messages are not
appearing in dmesg anymore. If a sufficient number of audit messages are
generated the kernel will also start invoking the OOM killer.
It looks like previously, when there's no auditd in userspace kauditd
would call kauditd_hold_skb(), which prints the message using printk and
either frees the skb or queues it (with a limit on the number of queued
skb's by default).
Since 5b52330bbfe6 "audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state tracking"
when there's no auditd kauditd will instead use the retry queue, which
has no limit. But it will not process the retry queue when there's no
auditd, so messages pile up there indefinitely.
Thanks,
Seth

[GIT PULL] Audit fixes for v4.11 (#2)
by Paul Moore
Hi Linus,
A week later than I had hoped, but as promised, here is the audit
uninline-fix we talked about during the last audit pull request. The
patch is slightly different than what we originally discussed as it
made more sense to keep the audit_signal_info() function in auditsc.c
rather than move it and bunch of other related variables/definitions
into audit.c/audit.h. At some point in the future I need to look at
how the audit code is organized across kernel/audit*, I suspect we
could do things a bit better, but it doesn't seem like a -rc release
is a good place for that ;)
Regardless, this patch passes our tests without problem and looks good
for v4.11, please merge.
Thanks,
-Paul

[RFC PATCH v2] audit: move audit_signal_info() into kernel/auditsc.c
by Paul Moore
From: Paul Moore <paul(a)paul-moore.com>
Commit 5b52330bbfe6 ("audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state
tracking") make inlining audit_signal_info() a bit pointless as
it was always calling into auditd_test_task() so let's remove the
inline function in kernel/audit.h and convert __audit_signal_info()
in kernel/auditsc.c into audit_signal_info().

[PATCH] prettify: standardize function declaration style
by Richard Guy Briggs
The start of audit_rule_interfield_comp_data was unfindable using vim
function-finding hotkeys.
Use Linux kernel-style function declaration brace style.

RHEL6 and RHEL7 audispatch configurations
by warron.french
Hi Steve, sorry for bugging you directly, nearly 1 year ago (May 10th to be
exact) we collaborated, for my benefit on how to configure audispatch on
"RHEL6" machines.
It seems that my instructions that I kept from 1 year ago are no longer
valid; there are new files in existence and some old ones no longer in
existence for both RHEL6 and RHEL7:
*[OLD]*
/etc/audisp/
*audisp-remote.conf,*
/etc/audisp/plugins.d/*au-remote.conf*
*[NEW]*
/etc/audisp/plugins.d/af_unix.conf
/etc/audisp/plugins.d/syslog.conf
Not sure how to find the appropriate man pages to configure this setup
properly. I am attaching what I wrote 1 year ago; and hope that you can
push me in the direction of a good walk-through for audispatch of the
modern revision (audit-2.4.5-3 on RHEL6, and audit-2.4.1-5.el7).
I have to stick with these revision for a little while since we are going
through a Project Management Stage gate, impacting update decisions.
