Subject: result logged in integrity audit message
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2020 20:13:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4c41ce1e-3f97-5b14-8152-5411a3debb57@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)

Hi Mimi,

In integrity audit message function the inverse of "result" is being 
logged for "res=". Please see below. Is this intentional?

void integrity_audit_msg(int audit_msgno, struct inode *inode,
			 const unsigned char *fname, const char *op,
			 const char *cause, int result, int audit_info)
{

  ...
  audit_log_format(ab, " res=%d", !result);
}

The callers of this function are passing an error code (-ENOMEM, 
-EINVAL, etc.) in the "result" parameter. But that error code is lost - 
instead "res" is set to 0.

For example,

audit: type=1804 audit(1591411737.631:3): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 
ses=4294967295 subj=kernel op=ima_alloc_key_entry cause=ENOMEM 
comm="swapper/0" name=".builtin_trusted_keys" res=0

thanks,
  -lakshmi
