function.

Linux v5.19 and audit
by Paul Moore
In case anyone is curious and hasn't been tracking the audit kernel
tree very closely, there are no outstanding kernel patches queued for
v5.19 so there will be no audit kernel PR for this development cycle.

Help setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr,removexattr,lremovexattr
by Alex Triantafillidis (DESIGN LABORATORY INC)
Hello Audit,
I am trying to implement a set of rules related to “xattrs” on a MS CBL-Mariner 1.0.
I am following this guide<https://static.open-scap.org/ssg-guides/ssg-rhel8-guide-hipaa.html#xccdf_...>.
Record Events that Modify the System's Discretionary Access Controls Group contains 13 rules
[ref]<https://static.open-scap.org/ssg-guides/ssg-rhel8-guide-hipaa.html#xccdf_...> At a minimum, the audit system should collect file permission changes for all users and root. Note that the "-F arch=b32" lines should be present even on a 64 bit system. These commands identify system calls for auditing. Even if the system is 64 bit it can still execute 32 bit system calls. Additionally, these rules can be configured in a number of ways while still achieving the desired effect. An example of this is that the "-S" calls could be split up and placed on separate lines, however, this is less efficient. Add the following to /etc/audit/audit.rules:
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chmod,fchmod,fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S chown,fchown,fchownat,lchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr,removexattr,lremovexattr,fremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
If your system is 64 bit then these lines should be duplicated and the arch=b32 replaced with arch=b64 as follows:
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chmod,fchmod,fchmodat -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S chown,fchown,fchownat,lchown -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr,removexattr,lremovexattr,fremovexattr -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=unset -F key=perm_mod
Thing is I get error to any of setxattr,lsetxattr,fsetxattr,removexattr,lremovexattr,fremovexattr.
bash: setxattr: command not found
Is there any way I can enable the above in Mariner?
Thank you.

[PATCH v3 0/3] fanotify: Allow user space to pass back additional audit info
by Richard Guy Briggs
The Fanotify API can be used for access control by requesting permission
event notification. The user space tooling that uses it may have a
complicated policy that inherently contains additional context for the
decision. If this information were available in the audit trail, policy
writers can close the loop on debugging policy. Also, if this additional
information were available, it would enable the creation of tools that
can suggest changes to the policy similar to how audit2allow can help
refine labeled security.
This patch defines 2 additional fields within the response structure
returned from user space on a permission event. The first field is 32
bits for the context type. The context type will describe what the
meaning is of the second field. The audit system will separate the
pieces and log them individually.
The audit function was updated to log the additional information in the
AUDIT_FANOTIFY record. The following is an example of the new record
format:
type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1600385147.372:590): resp=2 fan_type=1 fan_ctx=17

audit: unrecoverable error in audit_syscall_entry()
I traced this to the context not being reset after audit_uring_entry if
the created context was a dummy context. I am surprised that I would be
the first one to find this problem but maybe io_uring is rarely used on
systems where auditing is enabled or a recent kernel change elsewhere
caused this problem to surface.
