[PATCH v2] audit: record fanotify event regardless of presence of rules

When no audit rules are in place, fanotify event results are unconditionally dropped due to an explicit check for the existence of any audit rules. Given this is a report from another security sub-system, allow it to be recorded regardless of the existence of any audit rules. To test, install and run the fapolicyd daemon with default config. Then as an unprivileged user, create and run a very simple binary that should be denied. Then check for an event with ausearch -m FANOTIFY -ts recent Link: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-9065 Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb(a)redhat.com&gt; --- changelog: v2 - re-add audit_enabled check --- include/linux/audit.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/audit.h b/include/linux/audit.h index a394614ccd0b..e3f06eba9c6e 100644 --- a/include/linux/audit.h +++ b/include/linux/audit.h @@ -527,7 +527,7 @@ static inline void audit_log_kern_module(const char *name) static inline void audit_fanotify(u32 response, struct fanotify_response_info_audit_rule *friar) { - if (!audit_dummy_context()) + if (audit_enabled) __audit_fanotify(response, friar); } -- 2.43.5
