From 33e2208acfc15ce00d3dd13e839bf6434faa2b04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:16:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] audit: vfs: fix audit_inode call in O_CREAT case of do_last Jiri reported a regression in auditing of open(..., O_CREAT) syscalls. In older kernels, creating a file with open(..., O_CREAT) created audit_name records that looked like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=1 name="/abc/foo" inode=138810 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=0 name="/abc/" inode=138635 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ...in recent kernels though, they look like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=2 name=(null) inode=264599 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=1 name=(null) inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=0 name="/abc/foo" inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 Richard bisected to determine that the problems started with commit bfcec708, but the log messages have changed with some later audit-related patches. The problem is that this audit_inode call is passing in the parent of the dentry being opened, but audit_inode is being called with the parent flag false. This causes later audit_inode and audit_inode_child calls to match the wrong entry in the audit_names list. This patch simply sets the flag to properly indicate that this inode represents the parent. With this, the audit_names entries are back to looking like they did before.
