12:21 p.m.
There were syscall events unsolicited by any audit rule caused by a missing
!audit_dummy_context() check before creating an
iptables/ip6tables/arptables/ebtables NETFILTER_CFG record. Check
!audit_dummy_context() before creating the NETFILTER_CFG record.
The vast majority of observed unaccompanied records are caused by the fedora
default rule: "-a never,task" and the occasional early startup one is I believe
caused by the iptables filter table module hard linked into the kernel rather
than a loadable module. The !audit_dummy_context() check above should avoid
them. Audit only when there is an existing syscall audit rule, otherwise issue
a standalone record only on table modification rather than empty table
creation.
Add subject attributes to the new standalone NETFILTER_CFGSOLO record using
a newly exported audit_log_task().
Since the record format will change anyways, this seemed like the right time to
change the order of the fields to put the protocol family before the table
name.
Here is a new sample accompanied record:
type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(1494977049.375:9418): family=2 table=filter entries=84
and unaccompanied case:
type=UNKNOWN[1331] msg=audit(1494815998.168:163): auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0
ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 pid=597
comm="iptables-restor" exe="/usr/sbin/xtables-multi" family=2
table=filter entries=4
