S.A.R.A. (S.A.R.A. is Another Recursive Acronym) is a stacked Linux
Security Module that aims to collect heterogeneous security measures,
providing a common interface to manage them.
It can be useful to allow minor security features to use advanced
management options, like user-space configuration files and tools, without
too much overhead.
Some submodules that use this framework are also introduced.
The code is quite long, I apologize for this. Thank you in advance to
anyone who will take the time to review this patchset.

S.A.R.A. is meant to be stacked but it needs cred blobs and the procattr
interface, so I temporarily implemented those parts in a way that won't
be acceptable for upstream, but it works for now. I know that there
is some ongoing work to make cred blobs and procattr stackable, as soon
as the new interfaces will be available I'll reimplement the involved
parts.
At the moment I've been able to test it only on x86.

S.A.R.A. submodules introduced in this patchset are: USB Filtering and
WX Protection.

The kernel-space part is complemented by its user-space counterpart:
saractl [1].
A test suite for WX Protection, called sara-test [2], is also available.

USB Filtering aims to provide a mechanism to decide which USB devices
should be authorized to connect to the system and which shouldn't. The main
goal is to narrow the attack surface for custom USB devices designed to
exploit vulnerabilities found in some USB device drivers.
Via configuration it's possible to allow or to deny authorization, based
on one or more of: Vendor ID, Product ID, bus name and port number. There
is also limited support for wildcards.
Depending on the configuration, it can work both as a white list or as a
black list.
With the help of "saractl" it's also possible to completely disable new
USB devices when the screen is "locked".
The original idea is inspired by the Grsecurity "Deny USB" feature.

WX Protection aims to improve user-space programs security by applying:
- W^X enforcement: program can't have a page of memory that is marked, at
		   the same time, writable and executable.
- W!->X restriction: any page that could have been marked as writable in
		     the past won't ever be allowed to be marked as
		     executable.
- Executable MMAP prevention: prevents the creation of new executable mmaps
			      after the dynamic libraries have been loaded.
All of the above features can be enabled or disabled both system wide
or on a per executable basis through the use of configuration files managed
by "saractl".
It is important to note that some programs may have issues working with
WX Protection. In particular:
- W^X enforcement will cause problems to any programs that needs
  memory pages mapped both as writable and executable at the same time e.g.
  programs with executable stack markings in the PT_GNU_STACK segment.
- W!->X restriction will cause problems to any program that
  needs to generate executable code at run time or to modify executable
  pages e.g. programs with a JIT compiler built-in or linked against a
  non-PIC library.
- Executable MMAP prevention can work only with programs that have at least
  partial RELRO support. It's disabled automatically for programs that
  lack this feature. It will cause problems to any program that uses dlopen
  or tries to do an executable mmap. Unfortunately this feature is the one
  that could create most problems and should be enabled only after careful
  evaluation.
To extend the scope of the above features, despite the issues that they may
cause, they are complemented by:
- procattr interface: can be used by a program to discover which WX
		      Protection features are enabled and/or to tighten
		      them.
- Trampoline emulation: emulates the execution of well-known "trampolines"
			even when they are placed in non-executable memory.
Parts of WX Protection are inspired by some of the features available in
PaX.

More information can be found in the documentation introduced in the first
patch and in the "commit message" of the following emails.

+S.A.R.A.
+========
+
+S.A.R.A. (S.A.R.A. is Another Recursive Acronym) is a stacked Linux Security
+Module that aims to collect heterogeneous security measures, providing a common
+interface to manage them.
+As of today it consists of two main submodules:
+
+- USB Filtering
+- WX Protection
+
+
+The kernel-space part is complemented by its user-space counterpart: `saractl` [2]_.
+A test suite for WX Protection, called `sara-test` [4]_, is also available.
+More information about where to find these tools and the full S.A.R.A.
+documentation are in the `External Links and Documentation`_ section.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+S.A.R.A.'s Submodules
+=====================
+
+USB Filtering
+-------------
+USB Filtering aims to provide a mechanism to decide which USB devices should
+be authorized to connect to the system and which shouldn't. The main goal
+is to narrow the attack surface for custom USB devices designed to exploit
+vulnerabilities found in some USB device drivers.
+
+Via configuration it's possible to allow or to deny authorization, based
+on one or more of: Vendor ID, Product ID, bus name and port number. There
+is also limited support for wildcards.
+Depending on the configuration, it can work both as a white list or as a black
+list.
+With the help of `saractl` [2]_ it's also possible to completely disable new
+USB devices when the screen is "locked".
+The original idea is inspired by the Grsecurity "Deny USB" feature.
+For further information on configuration file format and user-space utilities
+please look at the full documentation [1]_.
+
+
+WX Protection
+-------------
+WX Protection aims to improve user-space programs security by applying:
+
+- `W^X enforcement`_
+- `W!->X (once writable never executable) mprotect restriction`_
+- `Executable MMAP prevention`_
+
+All of the above features can be enabled or disabled both system wide
+or on a per executable basis through the use of configuration files managed by
+`saractl` [2]_.
+
+It is important to note that some programs may have issues working with
+WX Protection. In particular:
+
+- **W^X enforcement** will cause problems to any programs that needs
+  memory pages mapped both as writable and executable at the same time e.g.
+  programs with executable stack markings in the *PT_GNU_STACK* segment.
+- **W!->X mprotect restriction** will cause problems to any program that
+  needs to generate executable code at run time or to modify executable
+  pages e.g. programs with a *JIT* compiler built-in or linked against a
+  *non-PIC* library.
+- **Executable MMAP prevention** can work only with programs that have at least
+  partial *RELRO* support. It's disabled automatically for programs that
+  lack this feature. It will cause problems to any program that uses *dlopen*
+  or tries to do an executable mmap. Unfortunately this feature is the one
+  that could create most problems and should be enabled only after careful
+  evaluation.
+
+To extend the scope of the above features, despite the issues that they may
+cause, they are complemented by **/proc/PID/attr/sara/wxprot** interface
+and **trampoline emulation**.
+
+At the moment, WX Protection (unless specified otherwise) runs on `x86_64` and
+`x86_32` (with PAE).
+
+Parts of WX Protection are inspired by some of the features available in PaX.
+
+For further information about configuration file format and user-space
+utilities please take a look at the full documentation [1]_.
+
+W^X enforcement
+----------------------
+W^X means that a program can't have a page of memory that is marked, at the
+same time, writable and executable. This also allow to detect many bad
+behaviours that make life much more easy for attackers. Programs running with
+this feature enabled will be more difficult to exploit in the case they are
+affected by some vulnerabilities, because the attacker will be forced
+to make more steps in order to exploit them.
+
+W!->X (once writable never executable) mprotect restriction
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+"Once writable never executable" means that any page that could have been
+marked as writable in the past won't ever be allowed to be marked (e.g. via
+an mprotect syscall) as executable.
+This goes on the same track as W^X, but is much stricter and prevents
+the runtime creation of new executable code in memory.
+Obviously, this feature does not prevent a program from creating a new file and
+*mmapping* it as executable, however, it will be way more difficult for attackers
+to exploit vulnerabilities if this feature is enabled.
+
+Executable MMAP prevention
+--------------------------
+This feature prevents the creation of new executable mmaps after the dynamic
+libraries have been loaded. When used in combination with **W!->X mprotect
+restriction** this feature will completely prevent the creation of new
+executable code in the current program.
+Obviously, this feature does not prevent cases in which an attacker uses an
+*execve* to start a completely new program. This kind of restriction, if
+needed, can be applied using one of the other LSM that focuses on MAC.
+Please be aware that this feature can break many programs and so it should be
+enabled after careful evaluation.
+
+/proc/PID/attr/sara/wxprot interface
+------------------------------------
+The `procattr` interface can be used by a program to discover which
+WX Protection features are enabled and/or to tighten them: protection
+can't be softened via procattr.
+The interface is simple: it's a text file with an hexadecimal
+number in it representing enabled features (more information can be
+found in the `Flags values`_ section). Via this interface it is also
+possible to perform a complete memory scan to remove the write permission
+from pages that are both writable and executable.
+
+Protections that prevent the runtime creation of executable code
+can be troublesome for all those programs that actually need to do it
+e.g. programs shipping with a JIT compiler built-in.
+Given that it's possible to segregate the part that runs untrusted
+code from the rest through a fork, this feature can be use to run the JIT
+compiler with few restrictions while enforcing full WX Protection in the
+rest of the program.
+
+The preferred way to access this interface is via `saralib` [3]_.
+If you don't want it as a dependency, you can just statically link it
+in your project or copy/paste parts of it.
+To make things simpler `saralib` is the only part of S.A.R.A. released under
+*CC0 - No Rights Reserved* license.
+
+Trampoline emulation
+--------------------
+Some programs need to generate part of their code at runtime. Luckily enough,
+in some cases they only generate well-known code sequences (the
+*trampolines*) that can be easily recognized and emulated by the kernel.
+This way WX Protection can still be active, so a potential attacker won't be
+able to generate arbitrary sequences of code, but just those that are
+explicitly allowed. This is not ideal, but it's still better than having WX
+Protection completely disabled.
+
+In particular S.A.R.A. is able to recognize trampolines used by GCC for nested
+C functions and libffi's trampolines.
+This feature is available only on x86_32 and x86_64.
+
+Flags values
+------------
+Flags are represented as a 16 bit unsigned integer in which every bit indicates
+the status of a given feature:
+
++------------------------------+----------+
+|           Feature            |  Value   |

+	  If you say Y here, S.A.R.A. will not be enabled at startup. You can

+	  or via user-space utilities.
+	  This option is useful for distro kernels.

+	  By enabling this option it won't be possible to turn on S.A.R.A.
+	  at runtime via user-space utilities. However it can still be
+	  turned on at boot time via the "sara=1" kernel parameter.
+	  This option is functionally equivalent to "sara=0" kernel parameter.

Creation of a new LSM hook that can be used to authorize or deauthorize
new USB devices via the usb authorization interface.
The same hook can also prevent the authorization of a USB device via
"/sys/bus/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized".
Using this hook an LSM could provide an higher level of granularity
than the current authorization interface.

Introduction of S.A.R.A. USB Filtering.
It uses the "usb_device_auth" LSM hook to provide a mechanism to decide
which USB devices should be authorized to connect to the system and
which shouldn't.
The main goal is to narrow the attack surface for custom USB devices
designed to exploit vulnerabilities found in some USB device drivers.
Via configuration it's possible to allow or to deny authorization, based
on one or more of: Vendor ID, Product ID, bus name and port number. There
is also support for "trailing wildcards".
Depending on the configuration, it can work both as a white list or as a
black list.
The original idea is inspired by the Grsecurity "Deny USB" feature.

Creation of a new LSM hook to check if a given configuration of vmflags,
for a new memory allocation request, should be allowed or not.
It's placed in "do_mmap", "do_brk_flags" and "__install_special_mapping".

Creation of the S.A.R.A. cred blob management "API".
In order to allow S.A.R.A. to be stackable with other LSMs, it doesn't use
the "security" field of struct cred, instead it uses an ad hoc field named
security_sara.
This solution is probably not acceptable for upstream, so this part will
be modified as soon as the LSM stackable cred blob management will be
available.

Introduction of S.A.R.A. WX Protection.
It aims to improve user-space programs security by applying:
- W^X enforcement
- W!->X (once writable never executable) mprotect restriction
- Executable MMAP prevention

All of the above features can be enabled or disabled both system wide
or on a per executable basis through the use of configuration.
W^X enforcement works by blocking any memory allocation or mprotect
invocation with both the WRITE and the EXEC flags enabled.
W!->X restriction works by preventing any mprotect invocation that makes
executable any page that is flagged VM_MAYWRITE.
This feature can be configured separately for stack, heap and other
allocations.
Executable MMAP prevention works by preventing any new executable
allocation after the dynamic libraries have been loaded. It works under the
assumption that, when the dynamic libraries have been finished loading, the
RELRO section will be marked read only.

Parts of WX Protection are inspired by some of the features available in
PaX.

Creation of a new hook to let LSM modules handle user-space pagefaults on
x86.
It can be used to avoid segfaulting the originating process.
If it's the case it can modify process registers before returning.

Some programs need to generate part of their code at runtime. Luckily
enough, in some cases they only generate well-known code sequences (the
"trampolines") that can be easily recognized and emulated by the kernel.
This way WX Protection can still be active, so a potential attacker won't
be able to generate arbitrary sequences of code, but just those that are
explicitly allowed. This is not ideal, but it's still better than having WX
Protection completely disabled.
In particular S.A.R.A. is able to recognize trampolines used by GCC for
nested C functions and libffi's trampolines.
This feature is implemented only on x86_32 and x86_64.
The assembly sequences used here were originally obtained from PaX source
code.

This allow S.A.R.A. to use the procattr interface without interfering
with other LSMs.
This part should be reimplemented as soon as upstream procattr stacking
support is available.

This allow processes to get current WX Protection flags for themselves or
for other processes of the same user.
It also allow a process to set itself flags to a stricter set of rules than
the current one.
Via a new wxprot flag (SARA_WXP_FORCE_WXORX) is it possible to ask the
kernel to rescan the process memory and remove the VM_WRITE flag from any
area that is marked both writable and executable.
Protections that prevent the runtime creation of executable code
can be troublesome for all those programs that actually need to do it
e.g. programs shipping with a JIT compiler built-in.
Given that it's possible to segregate the part that runs untrusted
code from the rest through a fork, this feature can be use to run the JIT
compiler with few restrictions while enforcing full WX Protection in the
rest of the program.
To simplify access to this interface a CC0 licensed library is available
here: https://github.com/smeso/saralib

That explains, what you could do with it, but it completely lacks any
rationale WHY this is desired and good behaviour and how that is a security
feature.

Could you please explain me why we need LSM for this?

There are tools like usbguard[1] and as far as I can tell it looks like 
they can do everything for you...
Without kernel modification...
without matching and storing rules inside kernel..
just pure userspace which uses device/interface authorization

As far as I can tell, the wxprot interface in procfs, when used as
/proc/PID/attr/sara/wxprot, actually only sets restrictions on one of the
threads.
The documentation doesn't seem to mention this.

No, like Krzysztof said, you can already do this today, just fine, from
userspace.  I think that support has been there for over a decade now,
why are you not taking advantage of this already?

No need to add extra stuff to the kernel at all to do this, sorry you
implemented all of this for no reason :(

Have the hook return a value and return that rather
than -EPERM. That way a security module can choose an
error that it determines is appropriate. It is possible
that a module might want to deny the access for a reason
other than lack of privilege.

You are right, I could have been more descriptive.
This is not a security feature "per se", it's a way to soften some
unwanted side-effects of restrictive security features.
In particular I'm trying to introduce a feature that will prevent
the runtime creation of executable code in user-space programs:
it's something like the PaX's MPROTECT feature.
This hook is used to implement what PaX call "trampoline
emulation" that, in practice, allow for some specific code
sequences to be executed even if they are in non executable memory.
This may look like a bad thing at first, but you have to consider
that:
- This allows for "memory restriction" features to stay on even
  when they should be turned off. And, even if this emulation
  makes the feature less effective, it's still better than having
  it turned off completely
- The only code sequences emulated are trampolines used to make
  function calls. In many cases, when you have the chance to
  make arbitrary memory writes, you can already manipulate the
  control flow of the program by overwriting function pointers or
  return values. So, in many cases, the "trampoline emulation"
  doesn't introduce new exploit vectors.
- It's a feature that can be turned on only if needed, on a per
  executable file basis.

Thank your for taking the time to review this.

I have to admit that this is the first time I read about usbguard and it made
me realize that this feature can be implemented in userspace, so no need
to modify the kernel. :)
You are right.

Honesty, now that you mention it, I agree with you.
This feature can be implemented in userspace and I'm the first one to
think that what can be implemented in userspace should stay in
userspace.

Don't worry, usb filtering is just a small part of this patchset.
Let's hope the rest will end up being more useful. :)

Agreed, anyway this part will be, probably, dropped in
the next version (read Greg and Krzysztof answers).

Hmm. Given that USB device provides vendor id/product id, this does
not really stop anyone, right?

AFAICT you can still get USB stick with vid/pid of logitech keyboard,
and kernel will recognize it as a usb stick.

So you should not really filter on vid/pid, but on device
types (sha sum of USB descriptor?).

Blacklisting vid/pid is completely useless. Whitelisting vid/pid is
nearly so. Attacker able to plug USB devices sees devices already
attached, so he can guess right vid/pids quite easily.

There are a number of ways by which a device can be assigned to a driver.
vid/pid is the most common for the most esoteric devices: i.e. less used/most
dangerous.
However you are right, a final version of this feature should have included
"interface matching" too and even something much more specific like serial
matching.
Anyway, because of lack of interest in having this feature included in kernel
space (something similar can already be done in user-space) it has been
abandoned.
You are answering to an old version of S.A.R.A. that can now be considered
obsolete.
Thank you anyway for your comment.

As an organizational note, I would suggest making these all regular
"module parameters", which would let them be automatically namespaced
under "sara". For example "sara.enabled", "sara.wxprot", etc. For
example, this is how LoadPin does it for "loadpin.enabled":

/* Should not be mutable after boot, so not listed in sysfs (perm == 0). */
module_param(enabled, int, 0);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(enabled, "Pin module/firmware loading (default: true)");

The USB Filtering of SARA seems kind of out of place. Does it have
infrastructure in common with the WX protections? Should it be its own
stackable LSM?

Oops, I was reading v1. I see USB has been dropped from v2 --
switching to reading the v2 now. :)

I apologize to be so late to answer you.
I completely missed this email.
I'll follow your suggestion in v3, thank you.

Hi,

I think it make sense to merge the W^X features with the TPE/shebang LSM
[1].

Hi,
Can you elaborate why it would be an advantage to have those features merged?
They seem quite unrelated.
Also, they work in rather different ways in respect to how they are configured.
I'm not sure what would be a reasonable way to merge them.
Thank you for your comment,

Salvatore

The aim of the Trusted Path Execution is to constraint calls to execve
(e.g. forbid an user to execute his own binaries, i.e. apply a W^X
security policy). This should handle binaries and could handle scripts
too [1]. However, there is always a way for a process to mmap/mprotect
arbitrary data and make it executable, be it intentional or not. PaX and
the W^X part of your LSM can handle this, or make exceptions by marking
a file with dedicated xattr values. This kind of exception fit well with
TPE to get a more hardened executable security policy (e.g. forbid an
user to execute his own binaries or to mmap arbitrary executable code).
Moreover, TPE could handle some part of its configuration from some
xattr values (e.g. allow scripts/interpreters, a whitelist of
environment variables, additional memory restrictions…) as you do with
SARA thanks to your tools.

I understand your point. They complement each other in some sense.
On the other hand, I'm still worried about the suitability of merging,
under the same LSM, two features that are managed in two
completely different ways.
IMHO, if they have to be merged, they should be "integrated".
As I see it, there are only 3 possible solutions to this problem:
1 - SARA gives up its configuration mechanics and starts using xattrs
2 - TPE/shebang gives up xattrs and starts using SARA-style configurations
3 - SARA adds xattrs support to its quiver *and* TPE/shebang adds SARA-style
     configuration support.

The solution number 1 is the one I'm less inclined to, as you can imagine.
I'm in favor of solutions 2 and 3, but of course we need to know Mimi Zohar and
Matt Brown opinion on this matter.
If we can find a consensus on the best way to merge them, I'm not against
the merge.
Anyway, these LSMs are stackable and they can be used together even if they
don't get merged. So I think that merging them is not a "must".

I have merged my TPE LSM with Mimi Zohar's shebang LSM and will be
releasing a version 3 soon. I have also added securityfs support to
shebang that will allow users to update the interpreter list at run
time. This allows for user's to configure TPE/Shebang without any
xattrs. For a preview of my version 3 you can check out my dev tree
here:
https://github.com/nmatt0/linux-security/tree/tpe/security/tpe

Note: that git tree is WIP and may not have all of the attribution and
documentation needed.

You'll want to detect when an interpreter is deleted or renamed.  I
would define security_inode_rename, security_path_rename,
security_inode_unlink and security_path_unlink hooks.

"rename" could be an indication that the existing interpreter is being
updated. "unlink" indicates that the interpreter has been deleted.  At
either of these points, you'll want to start checking for the creation
of a new file with the expected pathname.

Would it be better just to check for paths rather than inodes?

Below is a simple example on my laptop of the same inode with
different path names.  In this case, a list of pathnames would be
double the number of inodes.  I'm not sure from a performance
perspective if this really matters, or if doing string compares
matters.  We're not talking about thousands or even hundreds of files,
though this is on the LSM bprm check hook.

The question is really from a security perspective which is better?
 Obviously, as v2 of the patch set changed from using pathnames to
inodes, it's pretty clear that I think inodes would be better.  Kees,
Serge, Casey any comments?

Yes, inode seems clearly better.  Paths are too easily worked around.

Sounds good. Do we think a rb_tree would be better than a list to store
the inodes in?

An inode identifies the object, while a pathname identifies the intent.
Using the inode will be easier to code and easier to model. Using the
pathname will be much more likely to reflect what the human means to
accomplish, provided all the idiosyncrasies of the Linux filesystem
namespace are taken into account. Ever since the link count on an inode
was allowed to exceed 1* this has been difficult to accomplish.

----
* The link count has always been allowed to exceed 1. Then there
  are symlinks, mount points, overlay filesystems and all manner
  of other slick features that make the filesystem namespace
  difficult to deal with from the security standpoint.
