audit: fix a double fetch in audit_log_single_execve_arg()

2016-08-22T16:23:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 43761473c254b45883a64441dd0bc85a42f3645c ]

There is a double fetch problem in audit_log_single_execve_arg()
where we first check the execve(2) argumnets for any "bad" characters
which would require hex encoding and then re-fetch the arguments for
logging in the audit record[1].  Of course this leaves a window of
opportunity for an unsavory application to munge with the data.

This patch reworks things by only fetching the argument data once[2]
into a buffer where it is scanned and logged into the audit
records(s).  In addition to fixing the double fetch, this patch
improves on the original code in a few other ways: better handling
of large arguments which require encoding, stricter record length
checking, and some performance improvements (completely unverified,
but we got rid of some strlen() calls, that's got to be a good
thing).

As part of the development of this patch, I've also created a basic
regression test for the audit-testsuite, the test can be tracked on
GitHub at the following link:

 * https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-testsuite/issues/25

[1] If you pay careful attention, there is actually a triple fetch
problem due to a strnlen_user() call at the top of the function.

[2] This is a tiny white lie, we do make a call to strnlen_user()
prior to fetching the argument data.  I don't like it, but due to the
way the audit record is structured we really have no choice unless we
copy the entire argument at once (which would require a rather
wasteful allocation).  The good news is that with this patch the
kernel no longer relies on this strnlen_user() value for anything
beyond recording it in the log, we also update it with a trustworthy
value whenever possible.

Fix broken audit tests for exec arg len

2016-08-22T16:23:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 45820c294fe1b1a9df495d57f40585ef2d069a39 ]

The "fix" in commit 0b08c5e5944 ("audit: Fix check of return value of
strnlen_user()") didn't fix anything, it broke things.  As reported by
Steven Rostedt:

 "Yes, strnlen_user() returns 0 on fault, but if you look at what len is
  set to, than you would notice that on fault len would be -1"

because we just subtracted one from the return value.  So testing
against 0 doesn't test for a fault condition, it tests against a
perfectly valid empty string.

Also fix up the usual braindamage wrt using WARN_ON() inside a
conditional - make it part of the conditional and remove the explicit
unlikely() (which is already part of the WARN_ON*() logic, exactly so
that you don't have to write unreadable code.

audit: Fix check of return value of strnlen_user()

2016-08-22T16:23:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0b08c5e59441d08ab4b5e72afefd5cd98a4d83df ]

strnlen_user() returns 0 when it hits fault, not -1. Fix the test in
audit_log_single_execve_arg(). Luckily this shouldn't ever happen unless
there's a kernel bug so it's mostly a cosmetic fix.

audit: create private file name copies when auditing inodes

2015-12-03T15:10:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit fcf22d8267ad2601fe9b6c549d1be96401c23e0b ]

Unfortunately, while commit 4a928436 ("audit: correctly record file
names with different path name types") fixed a problem where we were
not recording filenames, it created a new problem by attempting to use
these file names after they had been freed.  This patch resolves the
issue by creating a copy of the filename which the audit subsystem
frees after it is done with the string.

At some point it would be nice to resolve this issue with refcounts,
or something similar, instead of having to allocate/copy strings, but
that is almost surely beyond the scope of a -rcX patch so we'll defer
that for later.  On the plus side, only audit users should be impacted
by the string copying.

audit: correctly record file names with different path name types

2015-12-03T15:05:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4a92843601ad0f5067f441d2f0dca55bbe18c076 ]

There is a problem with the audit system when multiple audit records
are created for the same path, each with a different path name type.
The root cause of the problem is in __audit_inode() when an exact
match (both the path name and path name type) is not found for a
path name record; the existing code creates a new path name record,
but it never sets the path name in this record, leaving it NULL.
This patch corrects this problem by assigning the path name to these
newly created records.

There are many ways to reproduce this problem, but one of the
easiest is the following (assuming auditd is running):

  # mkdir /root/tmp/test
  # touch /root/tmp/test/567
  # auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/root/tmp/test
  # touch /root/tmp/test/567

Afterwards, or while the commands above are running, check the audit
log and pay special attention to the PATH records.  A faulty kernel
will display something like the following for the file creation:

  type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): arch=c000003e syscall=2
    success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"
  type=CWD msg=audit(1416957442.025:93):  cwd="/root/tmp"
  type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=0 name="test/"
    inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT
  type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=1 name=(null)
    inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL
  type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=2 name=(null)
    inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL

While a patched kernel will show the following:

  type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): arch=c000003e syscall=2
    success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"
  type=CWD msg=audit(1416955786.566:89):  cwd="/root/tmp"
  type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=0 name="test/"
    inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT
  type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=1 name="test/567"
    inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL

This issue was brought up by a number of people, but special credit
should go to hujianyang@huawei.com for reporting the problem along
with an explanation of the problem and a patch.  While the original
patch did have some problems (see the archive link below), it did
demonstrate the problem and helped kickstart the fix presented here.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"

audit: get comm using lock to avoid race in string printing

2014-09-23T20:37:56+00:00

When task->comm is passed directly to audit_log_untrustedstring() without
getting a copy or using the task_lock, there is a race that could happen that
would output a NULL (\0) in the output string that would effectively truncate
the rest of the report text after the comm= field in the audit, losing fields.

Use get_task_comm() to get a copy while acquiring the task_lock to prevent
this and to prevent the result from being a mixture of old and new values of
comm.

audit: x86: drop arch from __audit_syscall_entry() interface

2014-09-23T20:21:28+00:00

Since the arch is found locally in __audit_syscall_entry(), there is no need to
pass it in as a parameter.  Delete it from the parameter list.

x86* was the only arch to call __audit_syscall_entry() directly and did so from
assembly code.

As this patch relies on changes in the audit tree, I think it
appropriate to send it through my tree rather than the x86 tree.

audit: add arch field to seccomp event log

2014-09-23T20:21:26+00:00

The AUDIT_SECCOMP record looks something like this:

type=SECCOMP msg=audit(1373478171.953:32775): auid=4325 uid=4325 gid=4325 ses=1 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0 pid=12381 comm="test" sig=31 syscall=231 compat=0 ip=0x39ea8bca89 code=0x0

In order to determine what syscall 231 maps to, we need to have the arch= field right before it.

To see the event, compile this test.c program:

=====
int main(void)
{
        return seccomp_load(seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL));
}
=====

gcc -g test.c -o test -lseccomp

After running the program, find the record by:  ausearch --start recent -m SECCOMP -i
