      [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.

      [PATCH] SELinux: add finer grained permissions to Netlink audit processing · b207a290
      James Morris 提交于
      This patch provides finer grained permissions for the audit family of
      Netlink sockets under SELinux.
      
      1.  We need a way to differentiate between privileged and unprivileged
         reads of kernel data maintained by the audit subsystem.  The AUDIT_GET
         operation is unprivileged: it returns the current status of the audit
         subsystem (e.g.  whether it's enabled etc.).  The AUDIT_LIST operation
         however returns a list of the current audit ruleset, which is considered
         privileged by the audit folk.  To deal with this, a new SELinux
         permission has been implemented and applied to the operation:
         nlmsg_readpriv, which can be allocated to appropriately privileged
         domains.  Unprivileged domains would only be allocated nlmsg_read.
      
      2.  There is a requirement for certain domains to generate audit events
         from userspace.  These events need to be collected by the kernel,
         collated and transmitted sequentially back to the audit daemon.  An
         example is user level login, an auditable event under CAPP, where
         login-related domains generate AUDIT_USER messages via PAM which are
         relayed back to auditd via the kernel.  To prevent handing out
         nlmsg_write permissions to such domains, a new permission has been
         added, nlmsg_relay, which is intended for this type of purpose: data is
         passed via the kernel back to userspace but no privileged information is
         written to the kernel.
      
      Also, AUDIT_LOGIN messages are now valid only for kernel->user messaging,
      so this value has been removed from the SELinux nlmsgtab (which is only
      used to check user->kernel messages).

      [PATCH] SELinux: add support for NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT · 0c9b7942
      James Morris 提交于
      This patch adds SELinux support for the KOBJECT_UEVENT Netlink family, so
      that SELinux can apply finer grained controls to it.  For example, security
      policy for hald can be locked down to the KOBJECT_UEVENT Netlink family
      only.  Currently, this family simply defaults to the default Netlink socket
      class.
      
      Note that some new permission definitions are added to sync with changes in
      the core userspace policy package, which auto-generates header files.

      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.
      
      Let it rip!
