[PATCH 1/5] cr: define ckpt_debug if CONFIG_CHECKPOINT=n

[Serge E. Hallyn]

So not all c/r code has to be ifdefed...

See patch 5/5 (add selinux support) for its use.

[PATCH 2/5] cr: checkpoint the active LSM and add RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag

[Serge E. Hallyn]

[ patch 1 was a trivial non-security patch so if you didn't see
it, you didn't miss anything ]

The RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag indicates that the LSM should
attempt to reuse checkpointed security labels.  It is always
invalid when the LSM at restart differs from that at checkpoint.
It is currently only usable for capabilities.

(For capabilities, restart without RESTART_KEEP_LSM is technically
not implemented.  There actually might be a use case for that,
but the safety of it is dubious so for now we always re-create
checkpointed capability sets whether RESTART_KEEP_LSM is
specified or not)

+LSM
+===
+
+Security modules use custom labels on subjects and objects to
+further mediate access decisions beyond DAC controls.  When
+checkpoint applications, these labels are [ work in progress ]
+checkpointed along with the objects.  At restart, the
+RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag tells the kernel whether re-created objects
+whould keep their checkpointed labels, or get automatically
+recalculated labels.  Since checkpointed labels will only make
+sense to the same LSM which was active at checkpoint time,
+sys_restart() with the RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag will fail with
+-EINVAL if the LSM active at restart is not the same as that
+active at checkpoint.  If RESTART_KEEP_LSM is not specified,
+then objects will be given whatever default labels the LSM and
+their optional policy decide.  Of course, when RESTART_KEEP_LSM
+is specified, the LSM may choose a different label than the
+checkpointed one, or fail the entire restart if the caller
+does not have permission to create objects with the checkpointed
+label.
+
+It should always be safe to take a checkpoint of an application
+under LSM_1, and restart it without the RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag
+under LSM_2.

[PATCH 1/1] mktree: accept the lsm_name field in header and add -k flag

[Serge E. Hallyn]

[ This patch is against the user-space code for exploiting
c/r, at git://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/user-cr.git ]

The checkpoint file header now has an 11-character string
containing the name of the active LSM, following the uts
info.

Also add a -k (--keeplsm) flag to tell mktree to set the
RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag to sys_restart().

[PATCH 1/1] mktree: accept the lsm_name field in header and add -k flag

[Serge E. Hallyn]

[ This patch is against the user-space code for exploiting
c/r, at git://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/user-cr.git ]

The checkpoint file header now has an 11-character string
containing the name of the active LSM, following the uts
info.

Also add a -k (--keeplsm) flag to tell mktree to set the
RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag to sys_restart().

Can you imagine a scenario in which restoring a process on a
system with a different LSM configuration makes any sense at all?
Goodness gracious, even if the "old" environment and the "new"
are both SELinux and the policies are different I can't see how
you could make any sort of claim that restoring the process is
safe. The same goes for having file based capabilities on one
and not on the other.

It seems that the check you've chosen is necessary, but far from
sufficient.

Without RESTART_KEEP_LSM absolutely.

With RESTART_KEEP_LSM, on a system with a different LSM loaded,
certainly not.

With RESTART_KEEP_LSM, on a system with the same LSM but a different
policy, yes I do.  If any checkpointed contexts have been invalidated
in the new policy, then restart with RESTART_KEEP_LSM should fail (*1).
If the contexts are still valid, then it seems reasonable to
assume that bin_t, user_t, etc, still basically mean what they
meant before.  No reason to refuse restart just because I loaded
a policy module for postfix, imo.

I could add both an lsm-module and lsm-policy version to the
checkpoint header, where the lsm-policy might be a sha1sum of
the whole policy, but that seems like overkill, a lot of
overhead, and probably a maintenance headache for the lsm-module
version.

In what sense do you mean 'unsafe'?  The initial creation or
access to any checkpointed resource always happens with the
sys_restart() caller's and existing object's contexts, so there
should be no opportunity for accessing data which the old policy
allowed but the new does not.  It's possible that the task will
fail because of a more restrictive new policy, but so be it.

A task running as uid 500 with cap_dac_read_search=ep could have
been started at least 3 ways:
	1. a uid 500 task executing a file with cap_dac_read_search=ep
	file caps
	2. a root task executing a file which does prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS),
	setuid(500), and drops the other caps,
	3. a uid 500 task executing a setuid root version of the
	file in (2).

When we are restarting a task, we don't really care which of
the above ways it might have gotten its privileges.

I certainly could be overlooking something - what do you see as the
safety problem?

Wow. I run a program on a system with the default LSM and get all
sorts of passwords for network based services, then take it to an
SELinux system that has a different firewall configuration based on
the assumption that SELinux will prevent the program from getting
that information. You'd allow that?

Again, Wow. How can you tell that a process that ran for a while
under another policy can not have done anything that would make
it unsafe under the current policy? And what if the program is the
very one with the changed policy? How can you tell?

Now I'm no expert on SELinux policies, but if the change in policy
was made to prevent the program from doing something that it has
already done under the old policy so that it can safely allow the
program to do something it hasn't done prior to being checkpointed,
you have a big problem.

That's a big sentence. Let me clarify a little:

Let's say that my program, placebo, needs to do one of two
dangerous things, either thing A early in the execution or
thing B late in the execution. It would be perfectly safe for
placebo to do either, but really dreadfully bad for it to do
both. The program is of course oblivious to the policy, so it
will try to do both even though it really only needs to do one.

The old policy allows placebo to do A and not B. The new policy
allows B but not A. Either is safe. If I run placebo under the
old policy, checkpoint it, and restart it under the new policy
Bad Things happen. Even with both the old and the new policies
being demonstrably safe.

?

What exactly would refusing the restart prevent?

You already have the passwords in the checkpoint file, so you're
not protecting those.

The program was running under xyz_t, which on the old system was
allowed to make some change the fw configuration, but is not under
the new.  Then after restart, it will be labeled as xyz_t, and
won't be allowed to make the change.

When a program running as abc_t calls sys_restart() do restart
the task under xyz_t, then
	1. everything which is re-created for the task will
	   need to be allowed (under current policy) to
	   abc_t.
	2. abc_t will need to be allowed process_t:restore to
	   xyz_t.

What exactly can the abc_t task do if allowed to restart,
which it couldn't otherwise do?  (1) If it can read the checkpoint
files, it can access the checkpointed keys either way.  (2) If
the new policy allows xyz_t to do something it couldn't do
before, and abc_t is allowed to transition to xyz_t, then abc_t
could presumably start any program under xyz_t to do what it
wants.  That is limited by the need to be able to create a file
of an appropriate entry type.  That's why before I was thinking
of passing the type of the checkpoint file to security_cred_restore()
as well.  and (3) If under the new policy xyz_t is NOT allowed to do
something which the old policy could do, then after restart it
won't be allowed to do it either.

Quoting your example again:

> Wow. I run a program on a system with the default LSM and get all
> sorts of passwords for network based services, then take it to an

XXX Here you already have gotten the passwords under the old
policy.  So the restart has nothing to do with whether you can
get the keys which let you get the information.  Then,

> SELinux system that has a different firewall configuration based on
> the assumption that SELinux will prevent the program from getting
> that information. You'd allow that?

XXX The sys_restart() process will make sure that the process calling
sys_restart() is authorized to recreate anything (i.e. open
connections, open files, etc) which the task had open at checkpoint,
and anything done after checkpoint will still be authorized by
the new policy.

So really the big problem I see is that I've introduced a way
to disassociate the type you can restore to, from the file (and
contents of the file) you can execute to restore into the
type.

I think that can be helped by more liberal use of relabel_froms
and passing the type of a checkpoint file along to
security_cred_restore().  Passing the type of the checkpoint
file allows us to at least ensure that the file was created
by a process of a type which is also authorized to be a part
of the chain to restarting a task of xyz_t.  Adding the
relabel_from to file restore()s may be necessary to prevent
a leak of MAC perms.  Again, the process calling sys_restore()
must originally have been authorized to open the file with
the requested permissions, and must be allowed
	allow restore_t target_file_t:file restore;
permissions.  But it seems reasonable to add to that the
requirement to be allowed to
	allow restore_t orig_file_t:file relabel_from;

Now in the meantime, please note that there is nothing stopping
you from ensuring that only my_only_restore_t is allowed to
transition to anything, and having the program which transitions
to that domain and calls sys_restart() first compare policy
versions.

If it 'did something' before checkpoint, then either
	1. the system is already changed as a result,
	   and whether we restore or not has no further
	   effect.
or
	2. the process ended up with some resource which
	   it couldn't have gotten under the new policy.
	   In that case, if the task doing sys_restart()
	   is not allowed to re-create the resource (file
	   handle to /etc/shadow, socket, whatever) then
	   the checkpoint will fail.  If the task doing
	   sys_restart() *is* allowed to re-create it,
	   but the target context xyz_t would not have
	   been, then I don't consider that a leak.  As
	   I said above, it could compare policy versions
	   in user-space ahead of time or the user could have
	   used a more appropriate context from which to
	   call sys_restart().

>  And what if the program is the
> very one with the changed policy? How can you tell?

Well then either
	1. the checkpoint was taken before it changed the
	   policy, so it will try to do so again (and
	   hopefully fail)
	2. the checkpoint was taken after it changed the
	   policy, so the policy hasn't actually changed
	   between checkpoint and restart.

and in any case, if the program was authorized to change
policy, then the program calling sys_restart() on it should
have required some tremendously trusted type to begin with.

Then I would argue the user (who has authorization to restart this
beast and therefore is hopefully not malicious) should have compared
policies before doing sys_restart...

It seems I could save a lot of time arguing by proposing that

	1. each LSM keep a policy version (sha1sum or whatever
	   suits it) updated at every policy update
	2. a new security_app_restore() hook passes in the
	   the checkpoint header, so that the LSM can choose
	   to verify the checkpoint file type and the policy
	   version.  Checkpoint file type check might be done
	   even if !(flags & RESTART_KEEP_LSM)...

but I'm still not convinced this isn't just better done by
userspace if it wants to.  Because we are not protecting
against a malicious user, as he can get the info he got
from checkpoint() using ptrace, so we are only protecting
the user from himself.

Maybe I should wait a day to send this, since perhaps
on an afternoon walk I'll see the error of my ways...

?

What exactly would refusing the restart prevent?

You already have the passwords in the checkpoint file, so you're
not protecting those.

The program was running under xyz_t, which on the old system was
allowed to make some change the fw configuration, but is not under
the new.  Then after restart, it will be labeled as xyz_t, and
won't be allowed to make the change.

When a program running as abc_t calls sys_restart() do restart
the task under xyz_t, then
	1. everything which is re-created for the task will
	   need to be allowed (under current policy) to
	   abc_t.
	2. abc_t will need to be allowed process_t:restore to
	   xyz_t.

What exactly can the abc_t task do if allowed to restart,
which it couldn't otherwise do?  (1) If it can read the checkpoint
files, it can access the checkpointed keys either way.  (2) If
the new policy allows xyz_t to do something it couldn't do
before, and abc_t is allowed to transition to xyz_t, then abc_t
could presumably start any program under xyz_t to do what it
wants.  That is limited by the need to be able to create a file
of an appropriate entry type.  That's why before I was thinking
of passing the type of the checkpoint file to security_cred_restore()
as well.  and (3) If under the new policy xyz_t is NOT allowed to do
something which the old policy could do, then after restart it
won't be allowed to do it either.

Quoting your example again:

> Wow. I run a program on a system with the default LSM and get all
> sorts of passwords for network based services, then take it to an

XXX Here you already have gotten the passwords under the old
policy.  So the restart has nothing to do with whether you can
get the keys which let you get the information.  Then,

> SELinux system that has a different firewall configuration based on
> the assumption that SELinux will prevent the program from getting
> that information. You'd allow that?

XXX The sys_restart() process will make sure that the process calling
sys_restart() is authorized to recreate anything (i.e. open
connections, open files, etc) which the task had open at checkpoint,
and anything done after checkpoint will still be authorized by
the new policy.

So really the big problem I see is that I've introduced a way
to disassociate the type you can restore to, from the file (and
contents of the file) you can execute to restore into the
type.

I think that can be helped by more liberal use of relabel_froms
and passing the type of a checkpoint file along to
security_cred_restore().  Passing the type of the checkpoint
file allows us to at least ensure that the file was created
by a process of a type which is also authorized to be a part
of the chain to restarting a task of xyz_t.  Adding the
relabel_from to file restore()s may be necessary to prevent
a leak of MAC perms.  Again, the process calling sys_restore()
must originally have been authorized to open the file with
the requested permissions, and must be allowed
	allow restore_t target_file_t:file restore;
permissions.  But it seems reasonable to add to that the
requirement to be allowed to
	allow restore_t orig_file_t:file relabel_from;

Now in the meantime, please note that there is nothing stopping
you from ensuring that only my_only_restore_t is allowed to
transition to anything, and having the program which transitions
to that domain and calls sys_restart() first compare policy
versions.

If it 'did something' before checkpoint, then either
	1. the system is already changed as a result,
	   and whether we restore or not has no further
	   effect.
or
	2. the process ended up with some resource which
	   it couldn't have gotten under the new policy.
	   In that case, if the task doing sys_restart()
	   is not allowed to re-create the resource (file
	   handle to /etc/shadow, socket, whatever) then
	   the checkpoint will fail.  If the task doing
	   sys_restart() *is* allowed to re-create it,
	   but the target context xyz_t would not have
	   been, then I don't consider that a leak.  As
	   I said above, it could compare policy versions
	   in user-space ahead of time or the user could have
	   used a more appropriate context from which to
	   call sys_restart().

>  And what if the program is the

Well then either
	1. the checkpoint was taken before it changed the
	   policy, so it will try to do so again (and
	   hopefully fail)
	2. the checkpoint was taken after it changed the
	   policy, so the policy hasn't actually changed
	   between checkpoint and restart.

and in any case, if the program was authorized to change
policy, then the program calling sys_restart() on it should
have required some tremendously trusted type to begin with.

I seem to be having some trouble presenting my point. It's not about
the passwords. It's not about the firewall configuration. It's not
even really about the SELinux policy. It's about the total security
configuration of the system. This is a problem with checkpoint/restart
in general and there isn't much we can do about reassigning user id
and other bad things that can happen.

If the admin decides that an action is acceptable because the SELinux
policy prevents some other action it had better be the case that a
process was never allowed to perform that "other action". If you allow
restart across policy changes you can't be sure that the process has
not performed such an "other action". Processes are not stateless.

That's the point. It does not have to do the bad thing, it has
already been done. The cat is out of the bag. The process now has
state that it couldn't get under the new policy. The new policy
allows the process to do something that it could not had it
started under the new policy.

I'm a firm believer in malicious users. That, and users who are
sufficiently stupid to be indistinguishable from malicious users.
That, and users who are sufficiently clever to do the same things
that a malicious user would do in order to do something that looks
like a really good idea, but that is not.

I'm a firm believer in malicious users. That, and users who are
sufficiently stupid to be indistinguishable from malicious users.
That, and users who are sufficiently clever to do the same things
that a malicious user would do in order to do something that looks
like a really good idea, but that is not.

No, but again there are only 3 kinds of state that I can think of
that are relevant at restart:

	1. calculations which were made before ckpt and after
	   restart.  For instance,  maybe before the policy change
	   the task could read key a but not key b.  After it could
	   read key b but not a.  With both keys, it can rule the
	   world.
	   In this case c/r changes nothing, bc the user could get
	   the same info using ptrace.

	2. system-wide changes which the task could do with the
	   old policy, while it could do different once after.
	   Doing both changes it can rule the world.
	   Again, c/r changes nothing, bc the user could simply
	   run the program twice to make both changes.
	
	3. resources (file descriptions, whatever) which the task
	   could create before the policy change but not after.
	   Every resource will be re-opened at sys_restart()
	   using the credentials of the caller.
	   This isn't perfect.  It means that if the program
	   started out privileged to open some file and then
	   dropped privilege, then the program either will fail
	   to restart, or will have to be restarted with extra
	   privilege.  And there's a decent chance that the
	   sys_restart() caller will have more privs than the
	   program anyway.  But that is why I feel pretty strongly
	   that it's up to the caller, in userspace, to worry about
	   it and do policy checks if need be.

I am more worried about a user taking a checkpoint image and
editing it, then pursuading a more privileged user to restart it
for him.  "see, the source was trustworthy and needed privs to
start.  can you restart it for me?"

The only thing to do about that is to eventually do TPM signing
of checkpoint images.

Again I claim that any state it couldn't get under the new policy,
either it could get using ptrace anyway (i.e. a key), or it can't
re-create the state because the new policy will prevent it.

And it still is re-starting under the new policy, though again
(I keep stressing bc this worries me more) the authorization
checks are done against the credentials at sys_restart(), not
the checkpointed credentials.

So do you think that adding a policy version check in the kernel
at restart would help this?

Do you think providing a recipe for userspace to do the policy
checks would help?  Along with a security_may_restart() hook
so that LSM policy can force restart to go through a helper
that does these checks, if it wants to enforce that?

If you are willing to trust the user space tools to get it right.
It gets things really complicated building trust relationships when
you have multiple policies to deal with. Look at the issues that
labeled NFS is trying to deal with. How would the user space program
know what the policy may have been when the process last ran?

I really don't know. As you're well aware, I've never bought
into the sophistication of the SELinux policy mechanism. One
of my major concerns has always been that the policy on two
machines may be different. With CR you have a case where the
policy on the same machine can be different over the life of
a process.

I am much less concerned with Smack because all the protection
it provides are subject/object relationships and those are
pretty straight forward. Even there, if the old rule set allowed
the process to read from a label the new rule set doesn't allow
you could get burned.

In the end, I don't suppose that anything stronger than "requires
privilege" is going to result in a system that's useful. So maybe
your best bet is security_may_restart(), and let the LSM decide.
Smack will most likely require CAP_MAC_ADMIN where as SELinux will
do a check based on the half-dozen contexts mentioned elsewhere.
I still don't think it is safe, but upon further reflection I'm
convinced that from a security standpoint it can never be safe to
do a restore. So we're debating one case, and a fringe one at that.

Let 'er rip.

privilege" is going to result in a system that's useful. So maybe
your best bet is security_may_restart(), and let the LSM decide.
Smack will most likely require CAP_MAC_ADMIN where as SELinux will
do a check based on the half-dozen contexts mentioned elsewhere.
I still don't think it is safe, but upon further reflection I'm
convinced that from a security standpoint it can never be safe to
do a restore. So we're debating one case, and a fringe one at that.

Let 'er rip.

For the moment I intend to add a patch on top of these adding two
security calls:

	security_may_checkpoint(ctx) which will authorize the

	security_write_checkpoint_hdr(ctx) will for now do nothing

It could query the lsm somehow (cat /smack/load | sha1sum?) and
store the result in a file sitting next to the checkpoint image.

Or, if we implement security_write_checkpoint_hdr() above, then
it could simply read the info out of the checkpoint file itself.

As for trusting user space tools to get it right, as it is
user space tools are required to get file labeling and policy
loads right.  So if we have the above two hooks, then selinux
could forbid any domain but restore_t from doing a sys_restart()
where the only program allowed to enter into restore_t does a
check for valid policy.  And/or, it could check at security_may_checkpoint()
to make sure that the context file is of type checkpoint_file_t,
where only an admin-approved /bin/checkpoint of type checkpoint_t
is allowed to create or write to files of type checkpoint_file_t.

Right, or you can just consider it migrating to a different
machine, where the different machine could be the same machine
after a lot of system and policy updates.

Of course we potentially have the same issue when changing a boolean, and when 
loading a new policy on a running system.  In a realistic scenario, if you 
make a change that allows a process context to write to a public data store 
while at the same time denying read access to secret data then you also need 
to purge the contents of any files that the process may open for read/write.

Similar problems can also occur using Unix permissions and certain 
combinations of chmod with setuid/setgid bits.  Of course most potential 
cases of triggering this issue with Unix permissions are extremely contrived 
and wouldn't be a likely attack scenario.  The best example I can think of 
with Unix permissions is access to sound devices.  If a system is configured 
to add the "audio" supplementary group to a user's session when they login at 
the console then they can keep a detached process running to maintain access 
to the audio devices (and anything else permitted to that group).

Checkpoint/restart has traditionally been interesting in the
mainframe and supercomputer space. These environments have very
different security profiles from a user desktop. No one at the
[.......] National Supercomputer Centre cares if you can save
your rogue game as soon as you pick up the Amulet of Yendor and
restart it if you get killed on the way up. These environments
are concerned with leaking data between the groups that have
funded the facility, which is why they are very often customers
of advanced access control technologies. I don't know that I see
a really good security story for C/R in the desktop space, and
as Russell points out, there are plenty of opportunities to
exploit the feature. This is of course well outside the scope of
what goes on within an LSM, where the specific issues are more
or less contained.

#1 I think you are shortsighted on this, there are many desktop
scenarios where c/r has benefits.  Think linux terminal services, where
one has a large amount of backend machines and doesn't want to kill a
user's session due to having to reboot a machine, or to do load balancing.

#2 I think all this discussion is making things more complicated than it
needs to be.

There should be a simple policy decision.

Q. Would we allow this "user" (of the restart mechanism) to create a
container and be root to it.

If the answer is yes, then any restart (even with a maliciously modified
checkpoint file) should be allowed to proceed, as no differences between
that and what it could do anyways.

If the answer is no, then any restart should not be allowed to proceed.

why?  I imagine restart working something like this

a) create new container for restarted processes
b) restore processes
c) apply container LSM policy
d) let processes run

why in this order, for the reasoning given before that permissions can
change.  This can actually be an issue with just a single user if you
try to restore as that single user

i.e.
touch a
open(a)
chmod 000 a

and now try to restart, so shows the reliance on "root" in the context
of the new container.  its also possible to argue that if one does
security model changes such as this, restart should fail, and therfore
could switch by b/c above.

now getting back to the why.

what are the 2 primary attacks that have been mentioned

1) total host security policy
2) maliciously created checkpoint files

for #2, if we apply the policy decision I stated above, we shouldn't
care about malicious checkpoint files (beyond their ability to trigger
kernel bugs), as there's no fundamental difference between what a
malicious user could do with a constructed checkpoint file and what our
policy decision is based on (being root to the container).

for #1, why should this manner?  if host policy (say re network
connections?) would prevent some sort of functionality, this should
cause restart to error out with a security permission error.  restart
shouldn't ignore host policy in this case.   Though I would add, this
shouldn't really matter re file system, as each containers fs should be
isolated, and if they are shared and have different rules on different
machines, I believe you have a much bigger fundamental security problem.

This then makes restart just an issue of how LSM policies can actually
operate with multiple different containers that should be treated as
fully independent machines running on a single host and with possibly
different security requirements for each container, but not a
checkpoint/restart issue in specific.

I did not say there were not. I pointed out that historically C/R
has been used in the realm of mainframes and supercomputers. Because
it was developed in that space, the design reflects the needs of
that space. There are plenty of uses for C/R in a desktop environment.
The question is which of those constitute use, misuse, and abuse.

Oh my, but you've introduced a lot of complexity. Requiring container
management is going to put the feature well out of reach of your
typical desktop user. And most importantly, how are "we" supposed to
figure out whether or not "we" would allow that? I know lots of
people who would allow C/R without blinking, and others who will only
allow it if you can demonstrate that the security state of the system
is unchanged between C and R, and  that the re-introduction of the
process will not affect the security state of the system. Goodness,
I suspect that getting Stephen and myself to agree on what would be
right for a system without an LSM would be close to impossible.

That's sort of throwing the puppy under the bus. You say that you
have to trust it as if it came from a stone tablet handed to you
by a burning bush, so if you don't trust it that much, don't do it.
This is very much the supercomputer mindset, and they use all sorts
of interesting techniques, including seriously restricted access, to
make that viable. It makes the feature unusable in the typical case.

File systems are lower risk, true enough, because their access policies
are pretty simple. The complex interactions between independently
defined application policies (I gave you a cookie two weeks ago when
I liked you, and now I don't, but you can use the cookie because even
though I disowned you and killed all your old processes, you can get
at my special resource because you restarted a checkpointed process.)
are going to give you grief.

Multiple containers are no more viable a solution than type enforcement,
simple separation, Bell & LaPadula or multiple virtual machines for the
general case. You have fallen into the isolation fallacy. Isolation is
easy, sharing is hard, and you don't have a restart if you can't share
the resources from before.

I did not say there were not. I pointed out that historically C/R
has been used in the realm of mainframes and supercomputers. Because
it was developed in that space, the design reflects the needs of
that space. There are plenty of uses for C/R in a desktop environment.
The question is which of those constitute use, misuse, and abuse.

Oh my, but you've introduced a lot of complexity. Requiring container
management is going to put the feature well out of reach of your
typical desktop user. And most importantly, how are "we" supposed to
figure out whether or not "we" would allow that? I know lots of
people who would allow C/R without blinking, and others who will only
allow it if you can demonstrate that the security state of the system
is unchanged between C and R, and  that the re-introduction of the
process will not affect the security state of the system. Goodness,
I suspect that getting Stephen and myself to agree on what would be
right for a system without an LSM would be close to impossible.

Multiple containers are no more viable a solution than type enforcement,
simple separation, Bell & LaPadula or multiple virtual machines for the
general case. You have fallen into the isolation fallacy. Isolation is
easy, sharing is hard, and you don't have a restart if you can't share

[PATCH 3/5] cr: add generic LSM c/r support

Documentation/checkpoint/readme.txt begins:
"""
Application checkpoint/restart is the ability to save the state
of a running application so that it can later resume its execution
from the time at which it was checkpointed.
"""

This patch adds generic support for c/r of LSM credentials.  Support
for Smack and SELinux (and TOMOYO if appropriate) will be added later.
Capabilities is already supported through generic creds code.

This patch supports ipc_perm, msg_msg, cred (task) and file ->security
fields.  Inodes, superblocks, netif, and xfrm currently are restored
not through sys_restart() but through container creation, and so the
security fields should be done then as well.  Network should be added
when network c/r is added.

Briefly, all security fields must be exported by the LSM as a simple
null-terminated string.  They are checkpointed through the
security_checkpoint_obj() helper, because we must pass it an extra
sectype field.  Splitting SECURITY_OBJ_SEC into one type per object
type would not work because, in Smack, one void* security is used for
all object types.  But we must pass the sectype field because in
SELinux a different type of structure is stashed in each object type.

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Documentation/checkpoint/readme.txt begins:
"""
Application checkpoint/restart is the ability to save the state
of a running application so that it can later resume its execution
from the time at which it was checkpointed.
"""

This patch adds generic support for c/r of LSM credentials.  Support
for Smack and SELinux (and TOMOYO if appropriate) will be added later.
Capabilities is already supported through generic creds code.

This patch supports ipc_perm, msg_msg, cred (task) and file ->security
fields.  Inodes, superblocks, netif, and xfrm currently are restored
not through sys_restart() but through container creation, and so the
security fields should be done then as well.  Network should be added
when network c/r is added.

Briefly, all security fields must be exported by the LSM as a simple
null-terminated string.  They are checkpointed through the
security_checkpoint_obj() helper, because we must pass it an extra
sectype field.  Splitting SECURITY_OBJ_SEC into one type per object
type would not work because, in Smack, one void* security is used for
all object types.  But we must pass the sectype field because in
SELinux a different type of structure is stashed in each object type.

Why do you think that you need a copy? Sure, SELinux always gives you
a copy, but Smack keeps "contexts" around and making a copy is not only
unnecessary, but wasteful. If you free the "context" with the appropriate
call (security_release_secctx) you will get the "free allocated memory"
behavior desired by SELinux and the "do nothing" behavior of Smack. For
free, assuming that you also fix your Smack hook so that it works in the
way Smack deems "Correct".

I do not understand why the Smack behavior is a limitation here.

But each can be expressed as a context, can't it?

Why do you think that you need a copy? Sure, SELinux always gives you
a copy, but Smack keeps "contexts" around and making a copy is not only
unnecessary, but wasteful. If you free the "context" with the appropriate
call (security_release_secctx) you will get the "free allocated memory"
behavior desired by SELinux and the "do nothing" behavior of Smack. For
free, assuming that you also fix your Smack hook so that it works in the
way Smack deems "Correct".

Well it's not the Smack behavior, it's the combination of Smack's
and SELinux's behavior :)

In the end what I have here is probably best anyway - what is
stored in the object hash is not a security struct as known
by any LSM, but a generic object label.  So at
object_hash_types[CKPT_OBJ_SEC]->restore(), we don't re-create
an actual security struct, but just a string which is later
used by security_xyztype_restore() to create an actual label.

A set of contexts (root_u:root_r:root_t:::system_u:system_r\
:system_t::...).

There would be a problem if it were stored as a more
structured type, and if the ->restore handler wanted to
re-create an actual task_security_struct, ipc_security_struct,
etc.  So the last paragraph in the patch intro was just trying to
explain why the intermediate layer, storing a generic string on
the c/r object hash, needs to be there.  The thing that is
not possible is to place the actual void *security or a struct
task_security_struct on the objhash.

Hmm, that should be doable.  Mind you these are not the same as
secctx's returned by secid_to_secctx.  Though selinux_release_secctx 
is implemented as a simple kfree, so it would 'just work.'  I'm
not sure if it's better to just re-use it, or introduce a new
security_release_context() that does the same thing...

That's completely reasonable and in keeping with the Smack
mindset. Of course, it's easiest if the string is the actual
label. Smack wins!

Now why is that? If they are different things, what are they?

What is the difference between a secctx and a context?
I got a bit confused because the word "context" has been
used to refer to the thing represented by a secctx for a
long time.

Now why is that? If they are different things, what are they?

What is the difference between a secctx and a context?
I got a bit confused because the word "context" has been
used to refer to the thing represented by a secctx for a
long time.

Because for SELinux, for instance, when checkpointing a security
context for a task, we want to checkpoint the actual context,
the fscreate context, the sockcreate context, keycreate context,
and the task create (exec_create) context.

I know, I know,  I should come up with a better name.  But while
an selinux context would be

  root_u:root_r:root_t

the blob I have to checkpoint for a task would perhaps be

  root_u:root_r:root_t:::null:::null::null:::user_u:serge_r:serge_t:::null

My. That is quite a lot of contexts to keep track of.

Object security state?  "Foss" for full object security state?

I suspect I'll default to blob...

Doesn't Smack also have at least one case where it supports multiple
distinct contexts for different purposes on a single object (e.g.
sockets)?

Smack does support associating labels with incoming and/or
outgoing packets from a particular socket. I haven't looked
carefully at how the checkpoint/restart scheme is handling
sockets in general, so I couldn't say if its going to get the
rest of it right, either. In any case, that's something that
is strictly in the realm of privileged processes for which
checkpoint/restart is going to be one hairy potato.

Processes that use this mechanism will be quite rare. The
Smack port multiplexer (smackpolyport) that I'll be talking
about in Portland and a small set of security enforcing
applications should be about it.

So far there is only unix socket support, and I haven't touched
that with the LSM c/r code yet as it's very new.

The point however is that to c/r the full socket state for
smack, we'll need to stuff three labels into the checkpoint
image.  So we'll need to do something similar to the selinux
code, allocating memory, which we'll need to free.  So if
we're to use smack_release_secctx we need to be able to
tell the difference between a context we have to free, and
one we don't have to free.  We could do that by prepending
the socket ones with '-' (which is not a valid label according
to smack_access.c), and have release_secctx kfree anything
starting with '-'?

[PATCH 4/5] cr: add smack support to lsm c/r

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Documentation/checkpoint/readme.txt begins:
"""
Application checkpoint/restart is the ability to save the state
of a running application so that it can later resume its execution
from the time at which it was checkpointed.
"""

This patch implements checkpoint and restore of Smack security
labels.  The rules are the same as in previous versions:

	1. when objects are created during restore() they are
	   automatically labeled with current_security().
	2. if there was a label checkpointed with the object,
	   and that label != current_security() (which is the
	   same as obj->security), then the object is relabeled
	   if the sys_restart() caller has CAP_MAC_ADMIN.
	   Otherwise we return -EPERM.

This has been tested by checkpointing tasks under labels
_, vs1, and vs2, and restarting from tasks under _, vs1,
and vs2, with and without CAP_MAC_ADMIN in the bounding
set, and with and without the '-k' (keep_lsm) flag to mktree.
Expected results:

	#shell 1:
	echo vs1 > /proc/self/attr/current
	ckpt > out
	echo vs2 > /proc/self/attr/current
	mktree -F /cgroup/2 < out
		(frozen)
	# shell 2:
	cat /proc/`pidof ckpt`/attr/current
		vs2
	echo THAWED > /cgroup/2/freezer.state
	# shell 1:
	mktree -k -F /cgroup/2 < out
		(frozen)
	# shell 2:
	cat /proc/`pidof ckpt`/attr/current
		vs1
	echo THAWED > /cgroup/2/freezer.state
	# shell 1:
	capsh --drop=cap_mac_admin --
	mktree -k -F /cgroup/2 < out
		(permission denied)

There are testcases in git://git.sr71.net/~hallyn/cr_tests.git
under cr_tests/smack, which automate the above (and pass).

[PATCH 5/5] cr: add selinux support

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Documentation/checkpoint/readme.txt begins:
"""
Application checkpoint/restart is the ability to save the state
of a running application so that it can later resume its execution
from the time at which it was checkpointed.
"""

This patch adds the ability to checkpoint and restore selinux
contexts for tasks, open files, and sysvipc objects.  Contexts
are checkpointed as strings.  For tasks and files, where a security
struct actually points to several contexts, all contexts are
written out in one string, separated by ':::'.

The default behaviors are to checkpoint contexts, but not to
restore them.  To attempt to restore them, sys_restart() must
be given the RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag.  If this is given then
the caller of sys_restart() must have the new 'restore' permission
to the target objclass, or for instance PROCESS__SETFSCREATE to
itself to specify a create_sid.

A corresponding simple refpolicy patch is needed.  I'm also working
on a little testsuite to add to git://git.sr71.net/~hallyn/cr_tests.git,
which should test the restoration with and without permission of the
various sids.  (more general rhel5.4 refpolicy problems are standing
in the way)   For now I've tested simply by creating checkpoint
images using cr_tests/simple/ckpt > out from both staff_t and
sysyadm_t, and doing

	shell 1:
	mktree -F /freezer/1 < out
	shell 2:
	cat /proc/`pidof ckpt`/attr/current
		(same as context of shell 1)
	echo THAWED > /freezer/1/freezer.state

	shell 1:
	mktree -k -F /freezer/1 < out
		(fails if enforcing and not permitted to restore
		the original labels)
	shell 2:
	cat /proc/`pidof ckpt`/attr/current
		(same as context of the shell which had done the
		original ckpt)
	echo THAWED > /freezer/1/freezer.state

Mktree comes from git://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/user-cr.git,
This patch applies against the checkpoint/restart-enabled kernel
tree at git://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/linux-cr.git/.

[PATCH 5/5] cr: add selinux support

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Documentation/checkpoint/readme.txt begins:
"""
Application checkpoint/restart is the ability to save the state
of a running application so that it can later resume its execution
from the time at which it was checkpointed.
"""

This patch adds the ability to checkpoint and restore selinux
contexts for tasks, open files, and sysvipc objects.  Contexts
are checkpointed as strings.  For tasks and files, where a security
struct actually points to several contexts, all contexts are
written out in one string, separated by ':::'.

The default behaviors are to checkpoint contexts, but not to
restore them.  To attempt to restore them, sys_restart() must
be given the RESTART_KEEP_LSM flag.  If this is given then
the caller of sys_restart() must have the new 'restore' permission
to the target objclass, or for instance PROCESS__SETFSCREATE to
itself to specify a create_sid.

A corresponding simple refpolicy patch is needed.  I'm also working
on a little testsuite to add to git://git.sr71.net/~hallyn/cr_tests.git,
which should test the restoration with and without permission of the
various sids.  (more general rhel5.4 refpolicy problems are standing
in the way)   For now I've tested simply by creating checkpoint
images using cr_tests/simple/ckpt > out from both staff_t and
sysyadm_t, and doing

	shell 1:
	mktree -F /freezer/1 < out
	shell 2:
	cat /proc/`pidof ckpt`/attr/current
		(same as context of shell 1)
	echo THAWED > /freezer/1/freezer.state

	shell 1:
	mktree -k -F /freezer/1 < out
		(fails if enforcing and not permitted to restore
		the original labels)
	shell 2:
	cat /proc/`pidof ckpt`/attr/current
		(same as context of the shell which had done the
		original ckpt)
	echo THAWED > /freezer/1/freezer.state

Mktree comes from git://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/user-cr.git,
This patch applies against the checkpoint/restart-enabled kernel
tree at git://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/linux-cr.git/.
