      file capabilities: add no_file_caps switch (v4) · 1f29fae2
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      Add a no_file_caps boot option when file capabilities are
      compiled into the kernel (CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y).
      
      This allows distributions to ship a kernel with file capabilities
      compiled in, without forcing users to use (and understand and
      trust) them.
      
      When no_file_caps is specified at boot, then when a process executes
      a file, any file capabilities stored with that file will not be
      used in the calculation of the process' new capability sets.
      
      This means that booting with the no_file_caps boot option will
      not be the same as booting a kernel with file capabilities
      compiled out - in particular a task with  CAP_SETPCAP will not
      have any chance of passing capabilities to another task (which
      isn't "really" possible anyway, and which may soon by killed
      altogether by David Howells in any case), and it will instead
      be able to put new capabilities in its pI.  However since fI
      will always be empty and pI is masked with fI, it gains the
      task nothing.
      
      We also support the extra prctl options, setting securebits and
      dropping capabilities from the per-process bounding set.
      
      The other remaining difference is that killpriv, task_setscheduler,
      setioprio, and setnice will continue to be hooked.  That will
      be noticable in the case where a root task changed its uid
      while keeping some caps, and another task owned by the new uid
      tries to change settings for the more privileged task.

      security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() · 5cd9c58f
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
      the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
      change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
      
      __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags.  This
      patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
      PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
      
      This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
      
       (1) security_ptrace_may_access().  This passes judgement on whether one
           process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
           PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
           current is the parent.
      
       (2) security_ptrace_traceme().  This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
           and takes only a pointer to the parent process.  current is the child.
      
           In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
           the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
           This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
      
      Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
      been changed to calls to capable().
      
      Of the places that were using __capable():
      
       (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
           process.  All of these now use has_capability().
      
       (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
           whether the parent was allowed to trace any process.  As mentioned above,
           these have been split.  For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
           used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
      
       (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
      
       (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
           after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
           switched and capable() is used instead.
      
       (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
           receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
      
       (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
           whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.
      
      I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

      capabilities: remain source compatible with 32-bit raw legacy capability support. · ca05a99a
      Andrew G. Morgan 提交于
      Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
      _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
      raw capability system calls capget() and capset().  Its unfortunate, but
      true.
      
      Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
      software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
      of 32-bit compatibilities.  These recently compiled programs may suffer
      corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
      they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
      sys_capset().
      
      As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
      for all. It
      
        1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
           legacy value.
      
        2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
           implementation of the preferred magic.
      
        3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
           number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
           the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
           to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
           that may be using v2 inappropriately.
      
      [User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
      protects the application from details like this.  libcap-2.10 is the first
      to support v3 capabilities.]

      capabilities: implement per-process securebits · 3898b1b4
      Andrew G. Morgan 提交于
      Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with (set)uid-0
      based privilege and use capabilities instead.  That is, with filesystem
      support for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually)
      possible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain
      privilege via (set)uid-0.
      
      Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible since few
      user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently
      prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege.  Further, many
      applications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel
      will continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs.
      
      Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is
      desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their
      privilege.  In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable
      sets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser
      from the process' tree of children.
      
      The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege
      associated with (set)uid-0.  This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to
      initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current' process (it is inherited
      through fork()/exec()).  This reimplementation differs significantly from the
      historical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which
      has ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.
      
      With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop
      all legacy privilege (through uid=0) for itself and all subsequently
      fork()'d/exec()'d children with:
      
        prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f);
      
      This patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is
      enabled at configure time.

      Smack: Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel · e114e473
      Casey Schaufler 提交于
      Smack is the Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel.
      
      Smack implements mandatory access control (MAC) using labels
      attached to tasks and data containers, including files, SVIPC,
      and other tasks. Smack is a kernel based scheme that requires
      an absolute minimum of application support and a very small
      amount of configuration data.
      
      Smack uses extended attributes and
      provides a set of general mount options, borrowing technics used
      elsewhere. Smack uses netlabel for CIPSO labeling. Smack provides
      a pseudo-filesystem smackfs that is used for manipulation of
      system Smack attributes.
      
      The patch, patches for ls and sshd, a README, a startup script,
      and x86 binaries for ls and sshd are also available on
      
          http://www.schaufler-ca.com
      
      Development has been done using Fedora Core 7 in a virtual machine
      environment and on an old Sony laptop.
      
      Smack provides mandatory access controls based on the label attached
      to a task and the label attached to the object it is attempting to
      access. Smack labels are deliberately short (1-23 characters) text
      strings. Single character labels using special characters are reserved
      for system use. The only operation applied to Smack labels is equality
      comparison. No wildcards or expressions, regular or otherwise, are
      used. Smack labels are composed of printable characters and may not
      include "/".
      
      A file always gets the Smack label of the task that created it.
      
      Smack defines and uses these labels:
      
          "*" - pronounced "star"
          "_" - pronounced "floor"
          "^" - pronounced "hat"
          "?" - pronounced "huh"
      
      The access rules enforced by Smack are, in order:
      
      1. Any access requested by a task labeled "*" is denied.
      2. A read or execute access requested by a task labeled "^"
         is permitted.
      3. A read or execute access requested on an object labeled "_"
         is permitted.
      4. Any access requested on an object labeled "*" is permitted.
      5. Any access requested by a task on an object with the same
         label is permitted.
      6. Any access requested that is explicitly defined in the loaded
         rule set is permitted.
      7. Any other access is denied.
      
      Rules may be explicitly defined by writing subject,object,access
      triples to /smack/load.
      
      Smack rule sets can be easily defined that describe Bell&LaPadula
      sensitivity, Biba integrity, and a variety of interesting
      configurations. Smack rule sets can be modified on the fly to
      accommodate changes in the operating environment or even the time
      of day.
      
      Some practical use cases:
      
      Hierarchical levels. The less common of the two usual uses
      for MLS systems is to define hierarchical levels, often
      unclassified, confidential, secret, and so on. To set up smack
      to support this, these rules could be defined:
      
         C        Unclass rx
         S        C       rx
         S        Unclass rx
         TS       S       rx
         TS       C       rx
         TS       Unclass rx
      
      A TS process can read S, C, and Unclass data, but cannot write it.
      An S process can read C and Unclass. Note that specifying that
      TS can read S and S can read C does not imply TS can read C, it
      has to be explicitly stated.
      
      Non-hierarchical categories. This is the more common of the
      usual uses for an MLS system. Since the default rule is that a
      subject cannot access an object with a different label no
      access rules are required to implement compartmentalization.
      
      A case that the Bell & LaPadula policy does not allow is demonstrated
      with this Smack access rule:
      
      A case that Bell&LaPadula does not allow that Smack does:
      
          ESPN    ABC   r
          ABC     ESPN  r
      
      On my portable video device I have two applications, one that
      shows ABC programming and the other ESPN programming. ESPN wants
      to show me sport stories that show up as news, and ABC will
      only provide minimal information about a sports story if ESPN
      is covering it. Each side can look at the other's info, neither
      can change the other. Neither can see what FOX is up to, which
      is just as well all things considered.
      
      Another case that I especially like:
      
          SatData Guard   w
          Guard   Publish w
      
      A program running with the Guard label opens a UDP socket and
      accepts messages sent by a program running with a SatData label.
      The Guard program inspects the message to ensure it is wholesome
      and if it is sends it to a program running with the Publish label.
      This program then puts the information passed in an appropriate
      place. Note that the Guard program cannot write to a Publish
      file system object because file system semanitic require read as
      well as write.
      
      The four cases (categories, levels, mutual read, guardbox) here
      are all quite real, and problems I've been asked to solve over
      the years. The first two are easy to do with traditonal MLS systems
      while the last two you can't without invoking privilege, at least
      for a while.

      capabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding set · 3b7391de
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow.
       Currently cap_bset is per-system.  It can be manipulated through sysctl,
      but only init can add capabilities.  Root can remove capabilities.  By
      default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP.
      
      This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are
      enabled.  It is inherited at fork from parent.  Noone can add elements,
      CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them.
      
      One example use of this is to start a safer container.  For instance, until
      device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is
      best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container.
      
      The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately.  It will only
      affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s.  It also does not affect pI,
      and exec() does not constrain pI'.  So to really start a shell with no way
      of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do
      
      	prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD);
      	cap_t cap = cap_get_proc();
      	cap_value_t caparray[1];
      	caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD;
      	cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP);
      	cap_set_proc(cap);
      	cap_free(cap);
      
      The following test program will get and set the bounding
      set (but not pI).  For instance
      
      	./bset get
      		(lists capabilities in bset)
      	./bset drop cap_net_raw
      		(starts shell with new bset)
      		(use capset, setuid binary, or binary with
      		file capabilities to try to increase caps)

      Add 64-bit capability support to the kernel · e338d263
      Andrew Morgan 提交于
      The patch supports legacy (32-bit) capability userspace, and where possible
      translates 32-bit capabilities to/from userspace and the VFS to 64-bit
      kernel space capabilities.  If a capability set cannot be compressed into
      32-bits for consumption by user space, the system call fails, with -ERANGE.
      
      FWIW libcap-2.00 supports this change (and earlier capability formats)

      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Revert b68680e4 to make way for the next
      patch: "Add 64-bit capability support to the kernel".
      
      We want to keep the vfs_cap_data.data[] structure, using two 'data's for
      64-bit caps (and later three for 96-bit caps), whereas
      b68680e4 had gotten rid of the 'data' struct
      made its members inline.
      
      The 64-bit caps patch keeps the stack abuse fix at get_file_caps(), which was
      the more important part of that patch.

      V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcap · 72c2d582
      Andrew Morgan 提交于
      The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1,
      can change the capabilities of another process, p2.  This is not the
      meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this
      implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities,
      there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on
      another.
      
      Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the
      implementation of CAP_SETPCAP.
      
      The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no
      process can set the capabilities of another process.
      
      The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution
      rules:
      
         pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec)
         pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI)
         pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0
      
      at exec() time.  As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can
      have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI
      capability set.
      
      The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch)
      is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process
      - to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules
      are applied.
      
      Here is how it works:
      
      Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI.
      Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where
      
         (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0.
      
      That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to
      be present in pP.
      
      The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond
      the above:
      
         if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) {
            pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0  */
         }
      
      This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via
      pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use
      by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities
      are not useful to or needed by the login program itself.
      
      One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the
      capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then
      only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run
      it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap)
      would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this
      capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

      Implement file posix capabilities · b5376771
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      Implement file posix capabilities.  This allows programs to be given a
      subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
      setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.
      
      This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
      http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php.  For more information on how to use this
      patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
      http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
      
      Changelog:
      	Nov 27:
      	Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
      	(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
      	security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
      	Fix Kconfig dependency.
      	Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
      
      	Nov 13:
      	Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
      	capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
      
      	Nov 13:
      	Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
      	Dobriyan.
      
      	Nov 09:
      	Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
      	when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
      	up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
      	function.
      
      	Nov 08:
      	For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
      	them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
      
      	Nov 07:
      	Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
      	check_cap_sanity().
      
      	Nov 07:
      	Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
      	capabilities are the default.
      	Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
      	Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
      	audit messages.
      
      	Nov 05:
      	Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
      	task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
      	cap support can be stacked.
      
      	Sep 05:
      	As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
      	for capability code.
      
      	Sep 01:
      	Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
      	task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
      	they called a program with some fscaps.
      
      	One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
      	ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
      	cpuset?
      
      	It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
      	allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check.  But since
      	it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
      	CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
      	fixing it might be tough.
      
      	     task_setscheduler
      		 note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task.  Are we ok with
      		     CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
      	     task_setioprio
      	     task_setnice
      		 sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
      		 process.  Need same checks as setrlimit
      
      	Aug 21:
      	Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
      	euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
      	might still have elevated caps.
      
      	Aug 15:
      	Handle endianness of xattrs.
      	Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
      	Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
      	set, else return -EPERM.
      	With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
      	doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
      	d_instantiate.
      
      	Aug 10:
      	Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
      	caching it at d_instantiate.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
