<id>urn:sha1:76f01555c78e496203105bd29b878db3431a2260</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7d8b6c63751cfbbe5eef81a48c22978b3407a3ad upstream.

This is effectively a revert of 7b9a7ec565505699f503b4fcf61500dceb36e744
plus fixing it a different way...

We found, when trying to run an application from an application which
had dropped privs that the kernel does security checks on undefined
capability bits.  This was ESPECIALLY difficult to debug as those
undefined bits are hidden from /proc/$PID/status.

Consider a root application which drops all capabilities from ALL 4
capability sets.  We assume, since the application is going to set
eff/perm/inh from an array that it will clear not only the defined caps
less than CAP_LAST_CAP, but also the higher 28ish bits which are
undefined future capabilities.

The BSET gets cleared differently.  Instead it is cleared one bit at a
time.  The problem here is that in security/commoncap.c::cap_task_prctl()
we actually check the validity of a capability being read.  So any task
which attempts to 'read all things set in bset' followed by 'unset all
things set in bset' will not even attempt to unset the undefined bits
higher than CAP_LAST_CAP.

So the 'parent' will look something like:
CapInh:	0000000000000000
CapPrm:	0000000000000000
CapEff:	0000000000000000
CapBnd:	ffffffc000000000

All of this 'should' be fine.  Given that these are undefined bits that
aren't supposed to have anything to do with permissions.  But they do...

So lets now consider a task which cleared the eff/perm/inh completely
and cleared all of the valid caps in the bset (but not the invalid caps
it couldn't read out of the kernel).  We know that this is exactly what
the libcap-ng library does and what the go capabilities library does.
They both leave you in that above situation if you try to clear all of
you capapabilities from all 4 sets.  If that root task calls execve()
the child task will pick up all caps not blocked by the bset.  The bset
however does not block bits higher than CAP_LAST_CAP.  So now the child
task has bits in eff which are not in the parent.  These are
'meaningless' undefined bits, but still bits which the parent doesn't
have.

The problem is now in cred_cap_issubset() (or any operation which does a
subset test) as the child, while a subset for valid cap bits, is not a
subset for invalid cap bits!  So now we set durring commit creds that
the child is not dumpable.  Given it is 'more priv' than its parent.  It
also means the parent cannot ptrace the child and other stupidity.

The solution here:
1) stop hiding capability bits in status
	This makes debugging easier!

2) stop giving any task undefined capability bits.  it's simple, it you
don't put those invalid bits in CAP_FULL_SET you won't get them in init
and you won't get them in any other task either.
	This fixes the cap_issubset() tests and resulting fallout (which
	made the init task in a docker container untraceable among other
	things)

3) mask out undefined bits when sys_capset() is called as it might use
~0, ~0 to denote 'all capabilities' for backward/forward compatibility.
	This lets 'capsh --caps="all=eip" -- -c /bin/bash' run.

4) mask out undefined bit when we read a file capability off of disk as
again likely all bits are set in the xattr for forward/backward
compatibility.
	This lets 'setcap all+pe /bin/bash; /bin/bash' run

[ Upstream commit 90f62cf30a78721641e08737bda787552428061e ]

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

commit e789e561a50de0aaa8c695662d97aaa5eac9d55f upstream.

When the audit queue overflows and times out (audit_backlog_wait_time), the
audit queue overflow timeout is set to zero.  Once the audit queue overflow
timeout condition recovers, the timeout should be reset to the original value.

commit d3aea84a4ace5ff9ce7fb7714cee07bebef681c2 upstream.

...to make it clear what the intent behind each record's operation was.

In many cases you can infer this, based on the context of the syscall
and the result. In other cases it's not so obvious. For instance, in
the case where you have a file being renamed over another, you'll have
two different records with the same filename but different inode info.
By logging this information we can clearly tell which one was created
and which was deleted.

This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708.
Commit 79f6530c should also be backported to stable v3.7+.

commit 64fbff9ae0a0a843365d922e0057fc785f23f0e3 upstream.

We leak 4 bytes of kernel stack in response to an AUDIT_GET request as
we miss to initialize the mask member of status_set. Fix that.

commit 4d8fe7376a12bf4524783dd95cbc00f1fece6232 upstream.

Using the nlmsg_len member of the netlink header to test if the message
is valid is wrong as it includes the size of the netlink header itself.
Thereby allowing to send short netlink messages that pass those checks.

Use nlmsg_len() instead to test for the right message length. The result
of nlmsg_len() is guaranteed to be non-negative as the netlink message
already passed the checks of nlmsg_ok().

Also switch to min_t() to please checkpatch.pl.

<title>audit: printk USER_AVC messages when audit isn't enabled</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b1427212a66869dde67ab630a400bf69fce5dbc0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0868a5e150bc4c47e7a003367cd755811eb41e0b upstream.

When the audit=1 kernel parameter is absent and auditd is not running,
AUDIT_USER_AVC messages are being silently discarded.

AUDIT_USER_AVC messages should be sent to userspace using printk(), as
mentioned in the commit message of 4a4cd633 ("AUDIT: Optimise the
audit-disabled case for discarding user messages").

When audit_enabled is 0, audit_receive_msg() discards all user messages
except for AUDIT_USER_AVC messages. However, audit_log_common_recv_msg()
refuses to allocate an audit_buffer if audit_enabled is 0. The fix is to
special case AUDIT_USER_AVC messages in both functions.

It looks like commit 50397bd1 ("[AUDIT] clean up audit_receive_msg()")
introduced this bug.

commit 8ac1c8d5deba65513b6a82c35e89e73996c8e0d6 upstream.

After commit 829199197a43 ("kernel/audit.c: avoid negative sleep
durations") audit emitters will block forever if userspace daemon cannot
handle backlog.

After the timeout the waiting loop turns into busy loop and runs until
daemon dies or returns back to work.  This is a minimal patch for that
bug.

<title>audit: wait_for_auditd() should use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE</title>

audit_log_start() does wait_for_auditd() in a loop until
audit_backlog_wait_time passes or audit_skb_queue has a room.

If signal_pending() is true this becomes a busy-wait loop, schedule() in
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE won't block.

Thanks to Guy for fully investigating and explaining the problem.

(akpm: that'll cause the system to lock up on a non-preemptible
uniprocessor kernel)

reported a system hang.")
