* [PATCH V3fix ghak120] audit: initialize context values in case of mandatory events @ 2020-07-27 21:29 Richard Guy Briggs 2020-07-28 2:14 ` Paul Moore 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Richard Guy Briggs @ 2020-07-27 21:29 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Linux-Audit Mailing List, LKML, Linux Security Module list Cc: Paul Moore, eparis, Richard Guy Briggs Issue ghak120 enabled syscall records to accompany required records when no rules are present to trigger the storage of syscall context. A reported issue showed that the cwd was not always initialized. That issue was already resolved, but a review of all other records that could be triggered at the time of a syscall record revealed other potential values that could be missing or misleading. Initialize them. The fds array is reset to -1 after the first syscall to indicate it isn't valid any more, but was never set to -1 when the context was allocated to indicate it wasn't yet valid. The audit_inode* functions can be called without going through getname_flags() or getname_kernel() that sets audit_names and cwd, so set the cwd if it has not already been done so due to audit_names being valid. The LSM dump_common_audit_data() LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NET:AF_UNIX case was missed with the ghak96 patch, so add that case here. Please see issue https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/120 Please see issue https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/96 Passes audit-testsuite.

Yes, it appears to be resolved in v5.8-rc1 and above, but the problematic commit is in v5.7 and I'm not sure backporting the fix in v5.8-rcX plus this patch is the right thing to do for a released kernel. The lowest risk fix for v5.7 at this point is to do a revert; regardless of what happens with this patch and v5.8-rcX please post a revert for the audit/stable-5.7 tree as soon as you can. > ... but a review of all other records that could > be triggered at the time of a syscall record revealed other potential > values that could be missing or misleading.

Well, considering that ghak96 ended up being a bugfix (that wasn't its intent), I figured these audit_getcwd() were also bugfixes to prevent the same BUG under different calling conditions. > We are currently at -rc7 and this really needs to land before v5.8 is > released, presumably this weekend; this means a small and limited bug > fix patch is what is needed. Ok, so it sounds like rather than just fix it now, it would be better to revert it, then submit *one* patch for ghak120 plus this fix that will go tentatively upstream in 3 months, fully in 5. Arguably the last chunk above should be added to ghak96, so that should be reverted too, then resubmitted with this added chunk (or it could be a fixup chunk that would need to be sequenced with ghak120). As for the middle two chunks, they could either be resubmitted with a resubmitted ghak96, or with a resubmitted ghak120. As for the timing of all of these, ghak96 should be in place before the ghak120 patch, so even resubmitting one patch for the combined ghak120 and ghak96 might make more sense. I know you like only really minimal fixes this late, but this seemed pretty minimal to me... > 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] 6+ messages in thread

I made an assumption that it meant the same to you as it does to me; that's my mistake, I should have known better. I'll do the revert myself for stable-5.8 (which should trickle down to v5.7.z with the right metadata), don't bother with it. > > regardless of what happens with this patch and v5.8-rcX please post a > > revert for the audit/stable-5.7 tree as soon as you can. > > (more below...) > > > > ... but a review of all other records that could > > > be triggered at the time of a syscall record revealed other potential > > > values that could be missing or misleading.

I can't even reply to that paragraph above without going to GH and looking up all those different ghak references, which is annoying, and right now it seems like my time is better spent cleaning up this mess. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "one patch", but right now we are at -rc7 and we've/I've got broken kernels to fix; submit whatever you want and we'll deal with it when it's posted. > I know you like only really minimal fixes this late, but this seemed > pretty minimal to me...

I didn't try and test that since I'm not sure that would have worked because there appeared to be a low non-NULL value in it. brauer1's trace had 0x60 and mine had 0xd0.

Or am I missing something obvious? Well, you mentioned the obvious already: both 0x60 and 0xd0 are not NULL. We already have a NULL check for context->pwd elsewhere so there is precedence for this solving a similar problem, although without going through the git log I'm not sure what problem that solved, or if it was precautionary. I agree the low value looks suspicious, it almost looks like an offset to me, ideally it would be good to understand how/why that value is "off'. It could be that the audit_context is not being properly initialized, reset, or something unrelated is clobbering the value; all things that would be nice to know. > The patch provided the information rather than ignoring the problem ... I disagree. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
