net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages

2014-06-26T19:15:38Z

[ 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. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace.

2014-05-31T20:20:27Z

commit c92cdeb45eea38515e82187f48c2e4f435fb4e25 upstream. sys_getppid() returns the parent pid of the current process in its own pid namespace. Since audit filters are based in the init pid namespace, a process could avoid a filter or trigger an unintended one by being in an alternate pid namespace or log meaningless information. Switch to task_ppid_nr() for PPIDs to anchor all audit filters in the init_pid_ns. (informed by ebiederman's 6c621b7e) Cc: Eric W.

AUDIT: Allow login in non-init namespaces

2014-03-31T00:02:53Z

It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit messages (about the login) were unable to be sent. This is common in many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers. The PAM modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket. If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the kernel. If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login proceed. Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in the init user or pid namespace. So many forms of containers have never worked if audit was enabled in the kernel. BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM). Thus by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was a bug, but it is a bug some people expected. With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two bugs stopped cancelling each other out. Now, containers in the non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let users log in, now didn't! This fix is kinda hacky. We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init relevant namespaces. That means that not only will the old broken non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or non-init_user setups will 'work'. They don't really work, since audit isn't logging things. But it's what most users want. In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net (3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace. So all will be right in the world. This just opens the doors wide open on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...

audit: Send replies in the proper network namespace.

2014-03-01T03:44:55Z

In perverse cases of file descriptor passing the current network namespace of a process and the network namespace of a socket used by that socket may differ. Therefore use the network namespace of the appropiate socket to ensure replies always go to the appropiate socket. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

audit: Use struct net not pid_t to remember the network namespce to reply in

2014-02-28T12:04:33Z

In struct audit_netlink_list and audit_reply add a reference to the network namespace of the caller and remove the userspace pid of the caller. This cleanly remembers the callers network namespace, and removes a huge class of races and nasty failure modes that can occur when attempting to relook up the callers network namespace from a pid_t (including the caller's network namespace changing, pid wraparound, and the pid simply not being present).

audit: remove pr_info for every network namespace

2014-01-17T22:04:38Z

A message about creating the audit socket might be fine at startup, but a pr_info for every single network namespace created on a system isn't useful. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

audit: Convert int limit uses to u32

2014-01-14T19:54:00Z

The equivalent uapi struct uses __u32 so make the kernel uses u32 too. This can prevent some oddities where the limit is logged/emitted as a negative value. Convert kstrtol to kstrtouint to disallow negative values. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches [eparis: do not remove static from audit_default declaration]
