[PATCH v2] selinux: log invalid contexts in AVCs

In case a file has an invalid context set, in an AVC record generated upon access to such file, the target context is always reported as unlabeled. This patch adds new optional fields to the AVC record (srawcon and trawcon) that report the actual context string if it differs from the one reported in scontext/tcontext. This is useful for diagnosing SELinux denials involving invalid contexts. To trigger an AVC that illustrates this situation: # setenforce 0 # touch /tmp/testfile # setfattr -n security.selinux -v system_u:object_r:banana_t:s0 /tmp/testfile # runcon system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0 cat /tmp/testfile AVC before: type=AVC msg=audit(1547801083.248:11): avc: denied { open } for pid=1149 comm="cat" path="/tmp/testfile" dev="tmpfs" ino=6608 scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s15:c0.c1023 tclass=file permissive=1 AVC after: type=AVC msg=audit(1547801083.248:11): avc: denied { open } for pid=1149 comm="cat" path="/tmp/testfile" dev="tmpfs" ino=6608 scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s15:c0.c1023 trawcon=system_u:object_r:banana_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 Cc: Daniel Walsh <dwalsh(a)redhat.com&gt; Link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135683 Signed-off-by: Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace(a)redhat.com&gt; --- v2: Rename fields to "(s|t)rawcon". security/selinux/avc.c | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/selinux/avc.c b/security/selinux/avc.c index 9b63d8ee1687..df5490db575b 100644 --- a/security/selinux/avc.c +++ b/security/selinux/avc.c @@ -165,6 +165,32 @@ static void avc_dump_av(struct audit_buffer *ab, u16 tclass, u32 av) audit_log_format(ab, " }"); } +static void avc_dump_sid(struct audit_buffer *ab, struct selinux_state *state, + u32 sid, char type) +{ + int rc; + char *context, *rcontext; + u32 context_len, rcontext_len; + + rc = security_sid_to_context(state, sid, &context, &context_len); + if (rc) { + audit_log_format(ab, "%csid=%d ", type, sid); + return; + } + + audit_log_format(ab, "%ccontext=%s ", type, context); + + /* in case of invalid context report also the actual context string */ + rc = security_sid_to_context_force(state, sid, &rcontext, + &rcontext_len); + if (!rc) { + if (strcmp(context, rcontext)) + audit_log_format(ab, "%crawcon=%s ", type, rcontext); + kfree(rcontext); + } + kfree(context); +} + /** * avc_dump_query - Display a SID pair and a class in human-readable form. * @ssid: source security identifier @@ -174,28 +200,11 @@ static void avc_dump_av(struct audit_buffer *ab, u16 tclass, u32 av) static void avc_dump_query(struct audit_buffer *ab, struct selinux_state *state, u32 ssid, u32 tsid, u16 tclass) { - int rc; - char *scontext; - u32 scontext_len; - - rc = security_sid_to_context(state, ssid, &scontext, &scontext_len); - if (rc) - audit_log_format(ab, "ssid=%d", ssid); - else { - audit_log_format(ab, "scontext=%s", scontext); - kfree(scontext); - } - - rc = security_sid_to_context(state, tsid, &scontext, &scontext_len); - if (rc) - audit_log_format(ab, " tsid=%d", tsid); - else { - audit_log_format(ab, " tcontext=%s", scontext); - kfree(scontext); - } + avc_dump_sid(ab, state, ssid, 's'); + avc_dump_sid(ab, state, tsid, 't'); BUG_ON(!tclass || tclass >= ARRAY_SIZE(secclass_map)); - audit_log_format(ab, " tclass=%s", secclass_map[tclass-1].name); + audit_log_format(ab, "tclass=%s", secclass_map[tclass-1].name); } /** -- 2.20.1
