      [LSM-IPsec]: SELinux Authorize · c8c05a8e
      Catherine Zhang 提交于
      This patch contains a fix for the previous patch that adds security
      contexts to IPsec policies and security associations.  In the previous
      patch, no authorization (besides the check for write permissions to
      SAD and SPD) is required to delete IPsec policies and security
      assocations with security contexts.  Thus a user authorized to change
      SAD and SPD can bypass the IPsec policy authorization by simply
      deleteing policies with security contexts.  To fix this security hole,
      an additional authorization check is added for removing security
      policies and security associations with security contexts.
      
      Note that if no security context is supplied on add or present on
      policy to be deleted, the SELinux module allows the change
      unconditionally.  The hook is called on deletion when no context is
      present, which we may want to change.  At present, I left it up to the
      module.
      
      LSM changes:
      
      The patch adds two new LSM hooks: xfrm_policy_delete and
      xfrm_state_delete.  The new hooks are necessary to authorize deletion
      of IPsec policies that have security contexts.  The existing hooks
      xfrm_policy_free and xfrm_state_free lack the context to do the
      authorization, so I decided to split authorization of deletion and
      memory management of security data, as is typical in the LSM
      interface.
      
      Use:
      
      The new delete hooks are checked when xfrm_policy or xfrm_state are
      deleted by either the xfrm_user interface (xfrm_get_policy,
      xfrm_del_sa) or the pfkey interface (pfkey_spddelete, pfkey_delete).
      
      SELinux changes:
      
      The new policy_delete and state_delete functions are added.

      [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.

      David S. Miller 提交于
      If we free up a partially processed packet because it's
      skb->len dropped to zero, we need to decrement qlen because
      we are dropping out of the top-level loop so it will do
      the decrement for us.

      [NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing. · 2a0a6ebe
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Let's recap the problem.  The current asynchronous netlink kernel
      message processing is vulnerable to these attacks:
      
      1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits
      before they're processed.  This may confuse/disable the next netlink
      user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may
      receive the responses to the attacker's messages.
      
      Proposed solutions:
      
      a) Synchronous processing.
      b) Stream mode socket.
      c) Restrict/prohibit binding.
      
      2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written
      to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket,
      it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily
      long period of time.  If this is successfully exploited it could
      also be used to hold rtnl forever.
      
      Proposed solutions:
      
      a) Synchronous processing.
      b) Stream mode socket.
      
      Firstly let's cross off solution c).  It only solves the first
      problem and it has user-visible impacts.  In particular, it'll
      break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate
      with specific netlink addresses (pid's).
      
      So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus
      SOCK_STREAM for netlink.
      
      For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as
      suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend
      my time working on other things.
      
      However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the
      stream mode solution:
      
      1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable.
      
      2) Inefficient use of resources.  This is especially true for rtnetlink
      since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers.
      The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which
      causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things.
      
      3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel
      netlink receive queue.  The attacker simply fills the receive socket
      with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue.  The
      attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop.
      
      Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however
      it is pretty messy.
      
      In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement
      stream mode netlink at some point.  In the mean time, here is a patch
      that implements synchronous processing.

      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.
