      Implement file posix capabilities · b5376771
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      Implement file posix capabilities.  This allows programs to be given a
      subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
      setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.
      
      This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
      http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php.  For more information on how to use this
      patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
      http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
      
      Changelog:
      	Nov 27:
      	Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
      	(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
      	security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
      	Fix Kconfig dependency.
      	Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
      
      	Nov 13:
      	Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
      	capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
      
      	Nov 13:
      	Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
      	Dobriyan.
      
      	Nov 09:
      	Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
      	when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
      	up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
      	function.
      
      	Nov 08:
      	For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
      	them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
      
      	Nov 07:
      	Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
      	check_cap_sanity().
      
      	Nov 07:
      	Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
      	capabilities are the default.
      	Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
      	Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
      	audit messages.
      
      	Nov 05:
      	Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
      	task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
      	cap support can be stacked.
      
      	Sep 05:
      	As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
      	for capability code.
      
      	Sep 01:
      	Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
      	task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
      	they called a program with some fscaps.
      
      	One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
      	ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
      	cpuset?
      
      	It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
      	allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check.  But since
      	it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
      	CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
      	fixing it might be tough.
      
      	     task_setscheduler
      		 note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task.  Are we ok with
      		     CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
      	     task_setioprio
      	     task_setnice
      		 sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
      		 process.  Need same checks as setrlimit
      
      	Aug 21:
      	Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
      	euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
      	might still have elevated caps.
      
      	Aug 15:
      	Handle endianness of xattrs.
      	Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
      	Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
      	set, else return -EPERM.
      	With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
      	doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
      	d_instantiate.
      
      	Aug 10:
      	Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
      	caching it at d_instantiate.

      core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe · 7dc0b22e
      Neil Horman 提交于
      For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
      destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
      intellegently process a core.  This infrastructure however has some
      shortcommings which can be enhanced.  Specifically:
      
      1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
         when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
         consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
         at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
         restrictions.
      
      2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
         user space helper as an argv array.  The real core limit of the uid of the
         crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
         is overridden to zero when called).
      
      3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
         recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
         crash.  Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
         mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
         the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
         deadlock.
      
      This patch:
      
      Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe.  In the event that
      core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

      Make unregister_binfmt() return void · f6b450d4
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      list_del() hardly can fail, so checking for return value is pointless
      (and current code always return 0).
      
      Nobody really cared that return value anyway.

      Use list_head in binfmt handling · e4dc1b14
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's.  This leads
      to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt().  The downside
      is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt.  This is not a problem, since
      the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
      something distro enabled for you).

      [PATCH] setuid core dump · d6e71144
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl:
      
      This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid
      or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are
      
      0 - (default) - traditional behaviour.  Any process which has changed
          privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped
      
      1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible.  The core dump is
          owned by the current user and no security is applied.  This is intended
          for system debugging situations only.  Ptrace is unchecked.
      
      2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
          readable by root only.  This allows the end user to remove such a dump but
          not access it directly.  For security reasons core dumps in this mode will
          not overwrite one another or other files.  This mode is appropriate when
          adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.
      
      (akpm:
      
      > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(suid_dumpable);

      No problem to me.

      Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines
      should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go
      everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used
      as a bool in untouched code)
      
      > Maybe this should be renamed to `dump_policy' or something.  Doing that
      > would help us catch any code which isn't using the #defines, too.
      
      Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat
      rather than for merging. Changing that field would create a gigantic
      diff because it is used all over the place.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
