OpenBSM 1.1p2
Introduction
OpenBSM is an open source implementation of Sun's BSM event auditing file
format and API. Originally created for Apple Computer by McAfee Research,
OpenBSM is now maintained by volunteers and through the generous contribution
of several organizations.
OpenBSM includes several command line tools, including auditreduce(8) and
praudit(8) for reducing and printing audit trails, as well as the libbsm(3)
library to manage configuration files, generate audit records, and parse and
print audit trils.
Coupled with a kernel audit implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain
system audit streams, and is a foundation for a full audit-enabled system.
Portions of OpenBSM, including include files and token-building routines, are
reusable in a kernel audit implementation, and may be found in the FreeBSD
and Mac OS X kernels.
Contents
OpenBSM consists of several directories:
bin/ Audit-related command line tools
Merge OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 2 from the OpenBSM vendor branch to head, both contrib/openbsm (svn merge) and sys/{bsm,security/audit} (manual merge). - Add OpenBSM contrib tree to include paths for audit(8) and auditd(8). - Merge support for new tokens, fixes to existing token generation to audit_bsm_token.c. - Synchronize bsm includes and definitions. OpenBSM history for imported revisions below for reference. MFC after: 1 month Sponsored by: Apple Inc. Obtained from: TrustedBSD Project -- OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 2 - Include files in OpenBSM are now broken out into two parts: library builds required solely for user space, and system includes, which may also be required for use in the kernels of systems integrating OpenBSM. Submitted by Stacey Son. - Configure option --with-native-includes allows forcing the use of native include for system includes, rather than the versions bundled with OpenBSM. This is intended specifically for platforms that ship OpenBSM, have adapted versions of the system includes in a kernel source tree, and will use the OpenBSM build infrastructure with an unmodified OpenBSM distribution, allowing the customized system includes to be used with the OpenBSM build. Submitted by Stacey Son. - Various strcpy()'s/strcat()'s have been changed to strlcpy()'s/strlcat()'s or asprintf(). Added compat/strlcpy.h for Linux. - Remove compatibility defines for old Darwin token constant names; now only BSM token names are provided and used. - Add support for extended header tokens, which contain space for information on the host generating the record. - Add support for setting extended host information in the kernel, which is used for setting host information in extended header tokens. The audit_control file now supports a "host" parameter which can be used by auditd to set the information; if not present, the kernel parameters won't be set and auditd uses unextended headers for records that it generates. OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 1 - Add option to auditreduce(1) which allows users to invert sense of matching, such that BSM records that do not match, are selected. - Fix bug in audit_write() where we commit an incomplete record in the event there is an error writing the subject token. This was submitted by Diego Giagio. - Build support for Mac OS X 10.5.1 submitted by Eric Hall. - Fix a bug which resulted in host XML attributes not being arguments so that const strings can be passed as arguments to tokens. This patch was submitted by Xin LI. - Modify the -m option so users can select more then one audit event. - For Mac OS X, added Mach IPC support for audit trigger messages. - Fixed a bug in getacna() which resulted in a locking problem on Mac OS X. - Added LOG_PERROR flag to openlog when -d option is used with auditd. - AUE events added for Mac OS X Leopard system calls.

Merge OpenBSM alpha 4 from OpenBSM vendor branch to head, both contrib/openbsm (svn merge) and src/sys/{bsm,security/audit} (manual merge). Add libauditd build parts and add to auditd's linkage; force libbsm to build before libauditd. OpenBSM history for imported revisions below for reference. MFC after: 1 month Sponsored by: Apple Inc. Obtained from: TrustedBSD Project OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 4 - With the addition of BSM error number mapping, we also need to map the local error number passed to audit_submit(3) to a BSM error number, rather than have the caller perform that conversion. - Reallocate user audit events to avoid collisions with Solaris; adopt a more formal allocation scheme, and add some events allocated in Solaris that will be of immediate use on other platforms. - Add an event for Calife. - Add au_strerror(3), which allows generating strings for BSM errors directly, rather than requiring applications to map to the local error space, which might not be able to entirely represent the BSM error number space. - Major auditd rewrite for launchd(8) support. Add libauditd library that is shared between launchd and auditd. - Add AUDIT_TRIGGER_INITIALIZE trigger (sent via 'audit -i') for (re)starting auditing under launchd(8) on Mac OS X. - Add 'current' symlink to active audit trail. - Add crash recovery of previous audit trail file when detected on audit startup that it has not been properly terminated. - Add the event AUE_audit_recovery to indicated when an audit trail file has been recovered from not being properly terminated. This event is stored in the new audit trail file and includes the path of recovered audit trail file. - Mac OS X and FreeBSD dependent code in auditd.c is separated into auditd_darwin.c and auditd_fbsd.c files. - Add an event for the posix_spawn(2) and fsgetpath(2) Mac OS X system calls. - For Mac OS X, we use ASL(3) instead of syslog(3) for logging. - Add support for NOTICE level logging. OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 3 - Add two new functions, au_bsm_to_errno() and au_errno_to_bsm(), to map between BSM error numbers (largely the Solaris definitions) and local errno(2) values for 32-bit and 64-bit return tokens. This is required as operating systems don't agree on some of the values of more recent error numbers. - Fix a bug how au_to_exec_args(3) and au_to_exec_env(3) calculates the total size for the token. This buge. - Deprecated Darwin constants, such as TRAILER_PAD_MAGIC, removed.
