* [PATCH] capabilities: do not audit log BPRM_FCAPS on set*id @ 2017-03-03 1:10 Richard Guy Briggs 2017-03-03 2:07 ` Serge E.

Hallyn, Kees Cook, James Morris, Eric Paris, Paul Moore, Steve Grubb The audit subsystem is adding a BPRM_FCAPS record when auditing setuid application execution (SYSCALL execve). This is not expected as it was supposed to be limited to when the file system actually had capabilities in an extended attribute. It lists all capabilities making the event really ugly to parse what is happening. The PATH record correctly records the setuid bit and owner. Suppress the BPRM_FCAPS record on set*id.

I hadn't thought of that case, but I did consider in the setuid case comparing before and after without setuid forcing the drop of all capabilities via "ambient".

At first I figured I could simply go from root and su to an unprivileged user, but that doesn't trigger it and then naively thought I could strace both directions to find out the difference and su or sudo to root really doesn't like being straced. > Paul? > > > > Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> > > > --- > > > security/commoncap.c | 5 +++-- > > > 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > > > > > diff --git a/security/commoncap.c b/security/commoncap.c > > > index 14540bd..8f6bedf 100644 > > > --- a/security/commoncap.c > > > +++ b/security/commoncap.c > > > @@ -594,16 +594,17 @@ skip: > > > /* > > > * Audit candidate if current->cap_effective is set > > > * > > > - * We do not bother to audit if 3 things are true: > > > + * We do not bother to audit if 4 things are true: > > > * 1) cap_effective has all caps > > > * 2) we are root > > > * 3) root is supposed to have all caps (SECURE_NOROOT) > > > + * 4) we are running a set*id binary > > > * Since this is just a normal root execing a process. > > > * > > > * Number 1 above might fail if you don't have a full bset, but I think > > > * that is interesting information to audit. > > > */ > > > - if (!cap_issubset(new->cap_effective, new->cap_ambient)) { > > > + if (!is_setid && !cap_issubset(new->cap_effective, new->cap_ambient)) { > > > if (!cap_issubset(CAP_FULL_SET, new->cap_effective) || > > > !uid_eq(new->euid, root_uid) || !uid_eq(new->uid, root_uid) || > > > issecure(SECURE_NOROOT)) { > > > -- > > > 1.7.1 > > - RGB - RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Kernel Security Engineering, Base Operating Systems, Red Hat Remote, Ottawa, Canada Voice: +1.647.777.2635, Internal: (81) 32635 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 23+ messages in thread

Sorry, do you mean the case I brought up, or the one you mentioned? I don't quite understnad the one you brought up. For mine it's pretty simple to reproduce, just # as root cp `which sleep` /tmp/sleep chown root: /tmp/sleep chmod u+s /tmp/sleep setcap cap_sys_admin+pe /tmp/sleep # as non-root /tmp/sleep 200 & cat /proc/$!/status | egrep -e '(^[UG]id|^Cap)' > Can you come up with an idea for a test case? At first I figured I > could simply go from root and su to an unprivileged user, but that Ok - that sounds like you're talking about the case you brought up then. Certainly setuid to nonroot should clear ambient, but what's the problem? Is that broken, or are you wondering whether that should be logged? > doesn't trigger it and then naively thought I could strace both > directions to find out the difference and su or sudo to root really > doesn't like being straced. > > > Paul? > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> > > > > --- > > > > security/commoncap.c | 5 +++-- > > > > 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > > > > > > > diff --git a/security/commoncap.c b/security/commoncap.c > > > > index 14540bd..8f6bedf 100644 > > > > --- a/security/commoncap.c > > > > +++ b/security/commoncap.c > > > > @@ -594,16 +594,17 @@ skip: > > > > /* > > > > * Audit candidate if current->cap_effective is set > > > > * > > > > - * We do not bother to audit if 3 things are true: > > > > + * We do not bother to audit if 4 things are true: > > > > * 1) cap_effective has all caps > > > > * 2) we are root > > > > * 3) root is supposed to have all caps (SECURE_NOROOT) > > > > + * 4) we are running a set*id binary > > > > * Since this is just a normal root execing a process. > > > > * > > > > * Number 1 above might fail if you don't have a full bset, but I think > > > > * that is interesting information to audit. > > > > */ > > > > - if (!cap_issubset(new->cap_effective, new->cap_ambient)) { > > > > + if (!is_setid && !cap_issubset(new->cap_effective, new->cap_ambient)) { > > > > if (!cap_issubset(CAP_FULL_SET, new->cap_effective) || > > > > !uid_eq(new->euid, root_uid) || !uid_eq(new->uid, root_uid) || > > > > issecure(SECURE_NOROOT)) { > > > > -- > > > > 1.7.1 > > > > - RGB > > - RGB > > -- > Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> > Kernel Security Engineering, Base Operating Systems, Red Hat > Remote, Ottawa, Canada > Voice: +1.647.777.2635, Internal: (81) 32635 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 23+ messages in thread

Oh, my /tmp is nosuid so actually I have to do it in $HOME. There I get: CapPrm: 0000003fffffffff CapEff: 0000003fffffffff for simple setuid-root, and CapPrm: 0000000000200000 CapEff: 0000000000200000 for setuid-root plus file-caps. > Was this intended to trigger that audit rule?

Are you speaking of a change in pP' only from pI, or also pI', pE' and pA'? Something like ( pP' xor pI ) not empty? The previous patch I'd sent was reasonably easy to understand, but I'm having trouble adding this new twist to the logic expression in question due to the inverted combination of pre-existing items. I'm having trouble visualizing a 5 or more-dimensional Karnaugh map... While I am at it, I notice pA is missing from the audit record. The record contains fields "old_pp", "old_pi", "old_pe", "new_pp", "new_pi", "new_pe" so in keeping with the previous record normalizations, I'd like to change the "new_*" variants to simply drop the "new_" prefix. https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/40 > -Steve - RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Kernel Security Engineering, Base Operating Systems, Red Hat Remote, Ottawa, Canada Voice: +1.647.777.2635, Internal: (81) 32635 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 23+ messages in thread

Yes, I put this on my back burner thinking about how best to re-approach this, hoping others would offer some insight or advice how to attack this, otherwise I'm going to end up with a horrendous conditional expression, I fear.

I've been looking through the thread and the github issue, but haven't seen an example. Can you post a patch the way you'd do it off the top of your head, as a strawman? In general I'm a fan of putting complicated conditionals behind clearly named static inline helper functions, i.e. if (should_audit_caps(current)) // do the auditing then when reading should_audit_caps() your mind can process more complicated logic because it's not distracted by other things the calling function is doing... That's probably nothing you wouldn't do anyway so I don't think I'm being helpful. > > paul moore > > - RGB > > -- > Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> > Sr. S/W Engineer, Kernel Security, Base Operating Systems > Remote, Ottawa, Red Hat Canada > IRC: rgb, SunRaycer > Voice: +1.647.777.2635, Internal: (81) 32635 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 23+ messages in thread

I've been looking through the thread and the github issue, but haven't seen an example. Can you post a patch the way you'd do it off the top of your head, as a strawman? In general I'm a fan of putting complicated conditionals behind clearly named static inline helper functions, i.e. if (should_audit_caps(current)) // do the auditing then when reading should_audit_caps() your mind can process more complicated logic because it's not distracted by other things the calling function is doing... That's probably nothing you wouldn't do anyway so I don't think I'm being helpful. > > paul moore > > - RGB > > -- > Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> > Sr. S/W Engineer, Kernel Security, Base Operating Systems > Remote, Ottawa, Red Hat Canada > IRC: rgb, SunRaycer > Voice: +1.647.777.2635, Internal: (81) 32635 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 23+ messages in thread

Any change other than what is expected. When you execute a setuid root application, its no surprise and expected that it got all capabilities. So, we do not want capabilities recorded. If, however, something prevented it and it wound up with one capability only, then it is a surprise and should be logged assuming the file is being watched for execution. Similarly if we have a watch on a non-setuid program and it does pick up capabilities due to file system based capabilities, then we want to know what capabilities were picked up. > > > > > The previous patch I'd sent was reasonably easy to understand, but > > > > > I'm having trouble adding this new twist to the logic expression in > > > > > question due to the inverted combination of pre-existing items.
