      [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).
