This change introduces audit_proc_coredump() which is called by coredump(9)
to create an audit record for the coredump event. When a process
dumps a core, it could be security relevant. It could be an indicator that
a stack within the process has been overflowed with an incorrectly constructed
malicious payload or a number of other events.
The record that is generated looks like this:
header,111,10,process dumped core,0,Thu Oct 25 19:36:29 2007, + 179 msec
argument,0,0xb,signal
path,/usr/home/csjp/test.core
subject,csjp,csjp,staff,csjp,staff,1101,1095,50457,10.37.129.2
return,success,1
trailer,111
- We allocate a completely new record to make sure we arent clobbering
the audit data associated with the syscall that produced the core
(assuming the core is being generated in response to SIGABRT and not
an invalid memory access).
- Shuffle around expand_name() so we can use the coredump name at the very
beginning of the coredump call. Make sure we free the storage referenced
by "name" if we need to bail out early.

tokens. Currently, we do not support the set{get}audit_addr(2) system
calls which allows processes like sshd to set extended or ip6
information for subject tokens.
The approach that was taken was to change the process audit state
slightly to use an extended terminal ID in the kernel. This allows
us to store both IPv4 IPv6 addresses. In the case that an IPv4 address
is in use, we convert the terminal ID from an struct auditinfo_addr to
a struct auditinfo.
If getaudit(2) is called when the subject is bound to an ip6 address,
we return E2BIG.
- Change the internal audit record to store an extended terminal ID
- Introduce ARG_TERMID_ADDR
- Change the kaudit <-> BSM conversion process so that we are using
the appropriate subject token. If the address associated with the
subject is IPv4, we use the standard subject32 token. If the subject
has an IPv6 address associated with them, we use an extended subject32
token.
- Fix a couple of endian issues where we do a couple of byte swaps when
we shouldn't be. IP addresses are already in the correct byte order,
so reading the ip6 address 4 bytes at a time and swapping them results
in in-correct address data. It should be noted that the same issue was
found in the openbsm library and it has been changed there too on the
vendor branch
- Change A_GETPINFO to use the appropriate structures
- Implement A_GETPINFO_ADDR which basically does what A_GETPINFO does,
but can also handle ip6 addresses
- Adjust get{set}audit(2) syscalls to convert the data
auditinfo <-> auditinfo_addr
- Fully implement set{get}audit_addr(2)

information. The appropriate userspace utilities still need to be updated.

kernel. This LOR snuck in with some of the recent syncache changes. To
fix this, the inpcb handling was changed:
- Hang a MAC label off the syncache object
- When the syncache entry is initially created, we pickup the PCB lock
is held because we extract information from it while initializing the
syncache entry. While we do this, copy the MAC label associated with
the PCB and use it for the syncache entry.
- When the packet is transmitted, copy the label from the syncache entry
to the mbuf so it can be processed by security policies which analyze
mbuf labels.
This change required that the MAC framework be extended to support the
label copy operations from the PCB to the syncache entry, and then from
the syncache entry to the mbuf.
These functions really should be referencing the syncache structure instead
of the label. However, due to some of the complexities associated with
exposing this syncache structure we operate directly on it's label pointer.
This should be OK since we aren't making any access control decisions within
this code directly, we are merely allocating and copying label storage so
we can properly initialize mbuf labels for any packets the syncache code
might create.
This also has a nice side effect of caching. Prior to this change, the
PCB would be looked up/locked for each packet transmitted. Now the label
is cached at the time the syncache entry is initialized.

privilege for threads and credentials. Unlike the existing suser(9)
interface, priv(9) exposes a named privilege identifier to the privilege
checking code, allowing more complex policies regarding the granting of
privilege to be expressed. Two interfaces are provided, replacing the
existing suser(9) interface:
suser(td) -> priv_check(td, priv)
suser_cred(cred, flags) -> priv_check_cred(cred, priv, flags)
A comprehensive list of currently available kernel privileges may be
found in priv.h. New privileges are easily added as required, but the
comments on adding privileges found in priv.h and priv(9) should be read
before doing so.
The new privilege interface exposed sufficient information to the
privilege checking routine that it will now be possible for jail to
determine whether a particular privilege is granted in the check routine,
rather than relying on hints from the calling context via the
SUSER_ALLOWJAIL flag. For now, the flag is maintained, but a new jail
check function, prison_priv_check(), is exposed from kern_jail.c and used
by the privilege check routine to determine if the privilege is permitted
in jail. As a result, a centralized list of privileges permitted in jail
is now present in kern_jail.c.
The MAC Framework is now also able to instrument privilege checks, both
to deny privileges otherwise granted (mac_priv_check()), and to grant
privileges otherwise denied (mac_priv_grant()), permitting MAC Policy
modules to implement privilege models, as well as control a much broader
range of system behavior in order to constrain processes running with
root privilege.
The suser() and suser_cred() functions remain implemented, now in terms
of priv_check() and the PRIV_ROOT privilege, for use during the transition
and possibly continuing use by third party kernel modules that have not
been updated. The PRIV_DRIVER privilege exists to allow device drivers to
check privilege without adopting a more specific privilege identifier.
This change does not modify the actual security policy, rather, it
modifies the interface for privilege checks so changes to the security
policy become more feasible.

This allows the kernel to generate audit records in excess of

comes up when auditing command line arguments, in which case we presume

any user supplied record attached to it would be tossed away, resulting in
otherwise selected events being lost.
- Introduce two new masks: AR_PRESELECT_USER_TRAIL AR_PRESELECT_USER_PIPE,
currently we have AR_PRESELECT_TRAIL and AR_PRESELECT_PIPE, which tells
the audit worker that we are interested in the kernel record, with
the additional masks we can determine if either the pipe or trail is
interested in seeing the kernel or user record.
- In audit(2), we unconditionally set the AR_PRESELECT_USER_TRAIL and
AR_PRESELECT_USER_PIPE masks under the assumption that userspace has
done the preselection [1].
Currently, there is work being done that allows the kernel to parse and
preselect user supplied records, so in the future preselection could occur
in either layer. But there is still a few details to work out here.

global audit trail configuration. This allows applications consuming
audit trails to specify parameters for which audit records are of
interest, including selecting records not required by the global trail.
Allowing application interest specification without changing the global
configuration allows intrusion detection systems to run without
interfering with global auditing or each other (if multiple are
present). To implement this:
- Kernel audit records now carry a flag to indicate whether they have
been selected by the global trail or by the audit pipe subsystem,
set during record commit, so that this information is available
after BSM conversion when delivering the BSM to the trail and audit
pipes in the audit worker thread asynchronously. Preselection by
either record target will cause the record to be kept.
- Similar changes to preselection when the audit record is created
when the system call is entering: consult both the global trail and
pipes.
- au_preselect() now accepts the class in order to avoid repeatedly
looking up the mask for each preselection test.
- Define a series of ioctls that allow applications to specify whether
they want to track the global trail, or program their own
preselection parameters: they may specify their own flags and naflags
masks, similar to the global masks of the same name, as well as a set
of per-auid masks. They also set a per-pipe mode specifying whether
they track the global trail, or user their own -- the door is left
open for future additional modes. A new ioctl is defined to allow a
user process to flush the current audit pipe queue, which can be used
after reprogramming pre-selection to make sure that only records of
interest are received in future reads.
- Audit pipe data structures are extended to hold the additional fields
necessary to support preselection. By default, audit pipes track the
global trail, so "praudit /dev/auditpipe" will track the global audit
trail even though praudit doesn't program the audit pipe selection
model.
- Comment about the complexities of potentially adding partial read
support to audit pipes.
By using a set of ioctls, applications can select which records are of
interest, and toggle the preselection mode.
