OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 11
- Reclassify certain read/write operations as having no class rather than the
fr/fw class; our default classes audit intent (open) not operations (read,
write).
- Introduce AUE_SYSCTL_WRITE event so that BSD/Darwin systems can audit reads
and writes of sysctls as separate events. Add additional kernel
environment and jail events for FreeBSD.
- Break AUDIT_TRIGGER_OPEN_NEW into two events, AUDIT_TRIGGER_ROTATE_USER
(issued by the user audit(8) tool) and AUDIT_TRIGGER_ROTATE_KERNEL (issued
by the kernel audit implementation) so that they can be distinguished.
- Disable rate limiting of rotate requests; as the kernel doesn't retransmit
a dropped request, the log file will otherwise grow indefinitely if the
trigger is dropped.
- Improve auditd debugging output.
- Fix a number of threading related bugs in audit_control file reading
routines.
- Add APIs au_poltostr() and au_strtopol() to convert between text
representations of audit_control policy flags and the flags passed to
auditon(A_SETPOLICY) and retrieved from auditon(A_GETPOLICY).
- Add API getacpol() to return the 'policy:' entry from audit_control, an
extension to the Solaris file format to allow specification of policy
persistent flags.
- Update audump to print the audit_control policy field.
- Update auditd to read the audit_control policy field and set the kernel
policy to match it when configuring/reconfiguring. Remove the -s and -h
arguments as these policies are now set via the configuration file. If a
policy line is not found in the configuration file, continue with the
current default of setting AUDIT_CNT.
- Fix bugs in the parsing of large execve(2) arguments and environmental
variable tokens; increase maximum parsed argument and variable count.
- configure now detects strlcat(), used by policy-related functions.
- Reference token and record sample files added to test tree.

notes since the last import:
OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 9
- Rename many OpenBSM-specific constants and API elements containing the
strings "BSM" and "bsm" to "AUDIT" and "audit", observing that this is true
for almost all existing constants and APIs.
- Instead of passing a per-instance cookie directly into all audit filter
APIs, pass in the audit filter daemon state pointer, which is then used by
the module using an audit_filter_{get,set}cookie() API. This will allow
future service APIs provided by the filter daemon to maintain their own
state -- for example, per-module preselection state.
OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 8
- Correct typo in definition of AUR_INT.
- Adopt OpenSolaris constant values for AUDIT_* configuration flags.
- Arguments to au_to_exec_args() and au_to_exec_env() no longer const.
- Add kernel versions of au_to_exec_args() and au_to_exec_env().
- Fix exec argument type that is printed for env strings from 'arg' to 'env'.
- New OpenBSM token version number assigned, constants added for other
commonly seen version numbers.
- OpenBSM-specific events assigned numbers in the 43xxx range to avoid future
collisions with Solaris. Darwin events renamed to AUE_DARWIN_foo, as they
are now deprecated numberings.
- autoconf now detects clock_gettime(), which is not available on Darwin.
- praudit output fixes relating to arg32 and arg64 tokens.
- Maximum record size updated to 64k-1 to match Solaris record size limit.
- Various style and comment cleanups in include files.
This is an MFC candidate to RELENG_6.

- Update install notes to indicate /etc files are to be installed manually.
- On systems without LOG_SECURITY, use LOG_AUTH.
- Convert to autoconf/automake in order to move to a more portable (not
BSD-specific) build infrastructure, and more easy conditional building of
components. Currently, the primary feature loss is that automake does
not have native support for manual symlinks. This will be addressed in a
future OpenBSM release.
- Add compat/queue.h, to be used on systems dated BSD queue macro libraries
(as found on Linux).
- Rename CHANGELOG to HISTORY, as our change log doesn't follow some of the
existing conventions for a CHANGELOG.
- Some private data structures moved from audit.h to audit_internal.h to
prevent inappropriate use by applications and name space pollution.
- Improved detection and use of endian macros using autoconf.
- Avoid non-portable use of struct in6_addr, which is largely opaque.
- Avoid leaking BSD kernel socket related token code to user space in
bsm_token.c.
- Teach System V IPC calls to look for Linux naming variations for certain
struct ipc_perm fields.
- Test for audit system calls, and if not present, don't build
bsm_wrappers.c, bsm_notify.c, audit(8), and auditd(8), which rely on
those system calls.
- au_close() is not implemented on systems that don't have audit system
calls, but au_close_buffer() is.
- Work around missing BSDisms in bsm_wrapper.c.
- Fix nested includes so including libbsm.h in an application on Linux
picks up the necessary definitions.
Obtained from: TrustedBSD Project
- Remove "audit" user example from audit_user, as it's not present on most
systems.
- Add cannot_audit() function non-Darwin systems that wraps auditon();
required by OpenSSH BSM support. Convert Darwin cannot_audit() into a
function rather than a macro.
- Library build fixed on Darwin following include file tweaks. The native
Darwin sys/audit.h conflicts with bsm/audit.h due to duplicate types, so
for now we force bsm_wrappers.c to not perform a nested include of
sys/audit.h.

1.0 alpha 1, an implementation of the documented Sun Basic Security
Module (BSM) Audit API and file format, as well as local extensions to
support the Mac OS X and FreeBSD operating systems. Also included are
command line tools for audit trail reduction and conversion to text,
as well as documentation of the commands, file format, and APIs. This
distribution is the foundation for the TrustedBSD Audit implementation,
and is a pre-release.
This is the first in a series of commits to introduce support for
Common Criteria CAPP security event audit support.
This software has been made possible through the generous
contributions of Apple Computer, Inc., SPARTA, Inc., as well as
members of the TrustedBSD Project, including Wayne Salamon <wsalamon>
and Tom Rhodes <trhodes>. The original OpenBSM implementation was
created by McAfee Research under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., as
part of their CC CAPP security evaluation.
