I had a look at the context of this record to see if adding the contid field to it made sense. I think the only records for which the contid field makes sense are the two newly proposed records, AUDIT_CONTAINER which introduces the container ID and the and AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO which documents the presence of the container ID in a process event (or process-less network event). All others should use the auxiliary record AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO rather than include the contid field directly itself. There are several reasons for this including record length, the ability to filter unwanted records, the difficulty of changing the order of or removing fields in the future. Syscalls get this information automatically if the container ID is set for a task via the AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO auxiliary record. Generally a syscall event is one that uses the task's audit_context while a standalone event uses NULL or builds a local audit_context that is discarded immediately after the local use. Looking at the two cases of AUDIT_INTEGRITY_RULE record generation, it appears that they should be split into two distinct audit record types. The record created in ima_audit_measurement() is a syscall record that could possibly stand on its own since the subject attributes are present. If it remains a syscall auxiliary record it will automatically have the AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO record accompany it anyways. If it is decided to detach it (which would save cpu/netlink/disk bandwidth but is not recommended due to not wanting to throw away any other syscall information or other involved records (PATH, CWD, etc...) then a local audit_context would be created for the AUDIT_INTEGRITY_RULE and AUDIT_CONTAINERID_INFO records only and immediately discarded.

The record created in ima_parse_rule() is not currently a syscall record since it is passed an audit_context of NULL and it has a very different format that does not include any subject attributes (except subj_*=). At first glance it appears this one should be a syscall accompanied auxiliary record. Either way it should have an AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO

auxiliary record either by being converted to a syscall auxiliary record by using current->audit_context rather than NULL when calling audit_log_start(), or creating a local audit_context and calling

audit_log_container_info() then releasing the local context. This version of the record has additional concerns covered here: https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/52

Can you briefly describe the circumstances under which these two different identically-numbered records are produced as a first step towards splitting them into two distict records? The four AUDIT_INTEGRITY _METADATA, _PCR, _DATA and _STATUS records appear to be already properly covered for AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO records by being syscall auxiliary records. The AUDIT_INTEGRITY_HASH record appears to be unused. >> Can you suggest a procedure to test it? > Like IMA-measurement and IMA-appraisal, IMA-audit is enabled based on > policy.
