audit: don't WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->mm) in audit_exe_compare()

2023-11-28T16:50:18+00:00

commit 969d90ec212bae4b45bf9d21d7daa30aa6cf055e upstream.

eBPF can end up calling into the audit code from some odd places, and
some of these places don't have @current set properly so we end up
tripping the `WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->mm)` near the top of
`audit_exe_compare()`.  While the basic `!current->mm` check is good,
the `WARN_ON_ONCE()` results in some scary console messages so let's
drop that and just do the regular `!current->mm` check to avoid
problems.

audit: don't take task_lock() in audit_exe_compare() code path

2023-11-28T16:50:18+00:00

commit 47846d51348dd62e5231a83be040981b17c955fa upstream.

The get_task_exe_file() function locks the given task with task_lock()
which when used inside audit_exe_compare() can cause deadlocks on
systems that generate audit records when the task_lock() is held. We
resolve this problem with two changes: ignoring those cases where the
task being audited is not the current task, and changing our approach
to obtaining the executable file struct to not require task_lock().

With the intent of the audit exe filter being to filter on audit events
generated by processes started by the specified executable, it makes
sense that we would only want to use the exe filter on audit records
associated with the currently executing process, e.g. @current.  If
we are asked to filter records using a non-@current task_struct we can
safely ignore the exe filter without negatively impacting the admin's
expectations for the exe filter.

Knowing that we only have to worry about filtering the currently
executing task in audit_exe_compare() we can do away with the
task_lock() and call get_mm_exe_file() with @current->mm directly.

audit: CONFIG_CHANGE don't log internal bookkeeping as an event

2020-10-01T11:17:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 70b3eeed49e8190d97139806f6fbaf8964306cdb ]

Common Criteria calls out for any action that modifies the audit trail to
be recorded. That usually is interpreted to mean insertion or removal of
rules. It is not required to log modification of the inode information
since the watch is still in effect. Additionally, if the rule is a never
rule and the underlying file is one they do not want events for, they
get an event for this bookkeeping update against their wishes.

Since no device/inode info is logged at insertion and no device/inode
information is logged on update, there is nothing meaningful being
communicated to the admin by the CONFIG_CHANGE updated_rules event. One
can assume that the rule was not "modified" because it is still watching
the intended target. If the device or inode cannot be resolved, then
audit_panic is called which is sufficient.

The correct resolution is to drop logging config_update events since
the watch is still in effect but just on another unknown inode.

audit_get_nd(): don't unlock parent too early

2019-11-10T16:56:55+00:00

if the child has been negative and just went positive
under us, we want coherent d_is_positive() and ->d_inode.
Don't unlock the parent until we'd done that work...

audit: add syscall information to CONFIG_CHANGE records

2019-01-18T22:53:29+00:00

Tie syscall information to all CONFIG_CHANGE calls since they are all a
result of user actions.

Exclude user records from syscall context:
Since the function audit_log_common_recv_msg() is shared by a number of
AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE and the entire range of AUDIT_USER_* record types,
and since the AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE message type has been converted to a
syscall accompanied record type, special-case the AUDIT_USER_* range of
messages so they remain standalone records.

audit: minimize our use of audit_log_format()

2018-11-26T23:40:00+00:00

There are some cases where we are making multiple audit_log_format()
calls in a row, for no apparent reason.  Squash these down to a
single audit_log_format() call whenever possible.
