      [LSM-IPSec]: Per-packet access control. · d28d1e08
      Trent Jaeger 提交于
      This patch series implements per packet access control via the
      extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in
      the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security
      associations to label packets.  Extensions to the SELinux LSM are
      included that leverage the patch for this purpose.
      
      This patch implements the changes necessary to the SELinux LSM to
      create, deallocate, and use security contexts for policies
      (xfrm_policy) and security associations (xfrm_state) that enable
      control of a socket's ability to send and receive packets.
      
      Patch purpose:
      
      The patch is designed to enable the SELinux LSM to implement access
      control on individual packets based on the strongly authenticated
      IPSec security association.  Such access controls augment the existing
      ones in SELinux based on network interface and IP address.  The former
      are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be spoofed.  By using
      IPSec, the SELinux can control access to remote hosts based on
      cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism.  This enables
      access control on a per-machine basis or per-application if the remote
      machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to enforce the
      access control policy.
      
      Patch design approach:
      
      The patch's main function is to authorize a socket's access to a IPSec
      policy based on their security contexts.  Since the communication is
      implemented by a security association, the patch ensures that the
      security association's negotiated and used have the same security
      context.  The patch enables allocation and deallocation of such
      security contexts for policies and security associations.  It also
      enables copying of the security context when policies are cloned.
      Lastly, the patch ensures that packets that are sent without using a
      IPSec security assocation with a security context are allowed to be
      sent in that manner.
      
      A presentation available at
      www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf
      from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach.
      
      Patch implementation details:
      
      The function which authorizes a socket to perform a requested
      operation (send/receive) on a IPSec policy (xfrm_policy) is
      selinux_xfrm_policy_lookup.  The Netfilter and rcv_skb hooks ensure
      that if a IPSec SA with a securit y association has not been used,
      then the socket is allowed to send or receive the packet,
      respectively.
      
      The patch implements SELinux function for allocating security contexts
      when policies (xfrm_policy) are created via the pfkey or xfrm_user
      interfaces via selinux_xfrm_policy_alloc.  When a security association
      is built, SELinux allocates the security context designated by the
      XFRM subsystem which is based on that of the authorized policy via
      selinux_xfrm_state_alloc.
      
      When a xfrm_policy is cloned, the security context of that policy, if
      any, is copied to the clone via selinux_xfrm_policy_clone.
      
      When a xfrm_policy or xfrm_state is freed, its security context, if
      any is also freed at selinux_xfrm_policy_free or
      selinux_xfrm_state_free.
      
      Testing:
      
      The SELinux authorization function is tested using ipsec-tools.  We
      created policies and security associations with particular security
      contexts and added SELinux access control policy entries to verify the
      authorization decision.  We also made sure that packets for which no
      security context was supplied (which either did or did not use
      security associations) were authorized using an unlabelled context.

      [LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction. · df71837d
      Trent Jaeger 提交于
      This patch series implements per packet access control via the
      extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in
      the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security
      associations to label packets.  Extensions to the SELinux LSM are
      included that leverage the patch for this purpose.
      
      This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem,
      pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a
      socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security
      association) to send/receive network packets.
      
      Patch purpose:
      
      The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on
      the strongly authenticated IPSec security association.  Such access
      controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP
      address.  The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be
      spoofed.  By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote
      hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism.
      This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application
      if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to
      enforce the access control policy.
      
      Patch design approach:
      
      The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by
      user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a
      security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM
      subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via
      security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those
      policies.
      
      A presentation available at
      www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf
      from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach.
      
      Patch implementation details:
      
      On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or
      xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of
      the socket and the same security context is required for resultant
      security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in
      ipsec-tools).  This is enforced in xfrm_state_find.
      
      On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket
      (at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must
      also match the security association being used.
      
      The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec.
      The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as
      before.
      
      Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is
      minimal.  The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the
      combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec
      processing proceeds as in the original case.
      
      Testing:
      
      The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools.  ipsec-tools have
      been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version
      0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security
      associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation
      using the security contexts via racoon.
      
      The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set
      security contexts.  These programs are also available from me, and
      contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing
      this interface.  Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel
      behavior.

      [PATCH] Avoid namespace pollution in <asm/param.h> · abe842eb
      Dag-Erling Smrgrav 提交于
      In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64
      <asm/param.h> was changed to include <linux/config.h> for the
      configurable timer frequency.
      
      However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included
      indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland
      namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros.  This greatly confuses
      software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros
      themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.

      [PATCH] powerpc: more g5 overtemp problem fix · f12f4d90
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Some G5s still occasionally experience shutdowns due to overtemp
      conditions despite the recent fix. After analyzing logs from such
      machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at
      shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax +
      8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This
      happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very
      short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are
      already overtemp by the time the driver loads).
      
      This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to
      the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.

      [PATCH] Fix more radeon GART start calculation cases · 67dbb4ea
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      As reported by Jules Villard <jvillard@ens-lyon.fr> and some others, the
      recent GART aperture start reconfiguration causes problems on some
      setups.
      
      What I _think_ might be happening is that the X server is also trying to
      muck around with the card memory map and is forcing it back into a wrong
      setting that also happens to no longer match what the DRM wants to do
      and blows up.  There are bugs all over the place in that code (and still
      some bugs in the DRM as well anyway).
      
      This patch attempts to avoid that by using the largest of the 2 values,
      which I think will cause it to behave as it used to for you and will
      still fix the problem with machines that have an aperture size smaller
      than the video memory.

      [IPV6] mcast: Fix multiple issues in MLDv2 reports. · 5ab4a6c8
      David L Stevens 提交于
      The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2.
      
      1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks
              all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)]
      
      2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]
      
      3) fix "mld_marksources()" to
              a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
              b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
                      not excluded
              c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report
      
      NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
        source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
        path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
        as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full, 
        relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
        machine.
      
      4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
              The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
              list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
              short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
              with an empty list if needed.
      
      5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
              its original value
      
      These issues (other than item #1 ;-) ) were all found by Yan Zheng,
      much thanks!
