2018-01-10Smack: Privilege check on key operationsCasey Schaufler
Smack: Privilege check on key operations Operations on key objects are subjected to Smack policy even if the process is privileged. This is inconsistent with the general behavior of Smack and may cause issues with authentication by privileged daemons. This patch allows processes with CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE to access keys even if the Smack rules indicate otherwise.

2017-06-01Smack: Use cap_capable in privilege checkCasey Schaufler
Use cap_capable() rather than capable() in the Smack privilege check as the former does not invoke other security module privilege check, while the later does. This becomes important when stacking. It may be a problem even with minor modules. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2017-01-10SMACK: Free the i_security blob in inode using RCUHimanshu Shukla
There is race condition issue while freeing the i_security blob in SMACK module. There is existing condition where i_security can be freed while inode_permission is called from path lookup on second CPU. There has been observed the page fault with such condition. VFS code and Selinux module takes care of this condition by freeing the inode and i_security field using RCU via call_rcu(). But in SMACK directly the i_secuirty blob is being freed. Use call_rcu() to fix this race condition issue.

2017-01-10Smack: Fix the issue of wrong SMACK label update in socket bind fail caseVishal Goel
Fix the issue of wrong SMACK label (SMACK64IPIN) update when a second bind call is made to same IP address & port, but with different SMACK label (SMACK64IPIN) by second instance of server. In this case server returns with "Bind:Address already in use" error but before returning, SMACK label is updated in SMACK port-label mapping list inside smack_socket_bind() hook To fix this issue a new check has been added in smk_ipv6_port_label() function before updating the existing port entry. It checks whether the socket for matching port entry is closed or not. If it is closed then it means port is not bound and it is safe to update the existing port entry else return if port is still getting used. For checking whether socket is closed or not, one more field "smk_can_reuse" has been added in the "smk_port_label" structure. This field will be set to '1' in "smack_sk_free_security()" function which is called to free the socket security blob when the socket is being closed. In this function, port entry is searched in the SMACK port-label mapping list for the closing socket. If entry is found then "smk_can_reuse" field is set to '1'.Initially "smk_can_reuse" field is set to '0' in smk_ipv6_port_label() function after creating a new entry in the list which indicates that socket is in use.

2017-01-10Smack: Fix the issue of permission denied error in ipv6 hookVishal Goel
Permission denied error comes when 2 IPv6 servers are running and client tries to connect one of them. Scenario is that both servers are using same IP and port but different protocols(Udp and tcp). They are using different SMACK64IPIN labels.Tcp server is using "test" and udp server is using "test-in". When we try to run tcp client with SMACK64IPOUT label as "test", then connection denied error comes. It should not happen since both tcp server and client labels are same.This happens because there is no check for protocol in smk_ipv6_port_label() function while searching for the earlier port entry. It checks whether there is an existing port entry on the basis of port only. So it updates the earlier port entry in the list. Due to which smack label gets changed for earlier entry in the "smk_ipv6_port_list" list and permission denied error comes. Now a check is added for socket type also.Now if 2 processes use same port but different protocols (tcp or udp), then 2 different port entries will be added in the list. Similarly while checking smack access in smk_ipv6_port_check() function, port entry is searched on the basis of both port and protocol.

2016-11-15Smack: Remove unnecessary smack_known_invalidCasey Schaufler
The invalid Smack label ("") and the Huh ("?") Smack label serve the same purpose and having both is unnecessary. While pulling out the invalid label it became clear that the use of smack_from_secid() was inconsistent, so that is repaired. The setting of inode labels to the invalid label could never happen in a functional system, has never been observed in the wild and is not what you'd really want for a failure behavior in any case. That is removed. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2016-09-08Smack: Signal delivery as an append operationCasey Schaufler
Under a strict subject/object security policy delivering a signal or delivering network IPC could be considered either a write or an append operation. The original choice to make both write operations leads to an issue where IPC delivery is desired under policy, but delivery of signals is not. This patch provides the option of making signal delivery an append operation, allowing Smack rules that deny signal delivery while allowing IPC. This was requested for Tizen.

2016-06-24Smack: Add support for unprivileged mounts from user namespacesSeth Forshee
Security labels from unprivileged mounts cannot be trusted. Ideally for these mounts we would assign the objects in the filesystem the same label as the inode for the backing device passed to mount. Unfortunately it's currently impossible to determine which inode this is from the LSM mount hooks, so we settle for the label of the process doing the mount. This label is assigned to s_root, and also to smk_default to ensure that new inodes receive this label. The transmute property is also set on s_root to make this behavior more explicit, even though it is technically not necessary. If a filesystem has existing security labels, access to inodes is permitted if the label is the same as smk_root, otherwise access is denied. The SMACK64EXEC xattr is completely ignored. Explicit setting of security labels continues to require CAP_MAC_ADMIN in init_user_ns. Altogether, this ensures that filesystem objects are not accessible to subjects which cannot already access the backing store, that MAC is not violated for any objects in the fileystem which are already labeled, and that a user cannot use an unprivileged mount to gain elevated MAC privileges. sysfs, tmpfs, and ramfs are already mountable from user namespaces and support security labels. We can't rule out the possibility that these filesystems may already be used in mounts from user namespaces with security lables set from the init namespace, so failing to trust lables in these filesystems may introduce regressions. It is safe to trust labels from these filesystems, since the unprivileged user does not control the backing store and thus cannot supply security labels, so an explicit exception is made to trust labels from these filesystems.

2015-10-19Smack: limited capability for changing process labelZbigniew Jasinski
This feature introduces new kernel interface: - <smack_fs>/relabel-self - for setting transition labels list This list is used to control smack label transition mechanism. List is set by, and per process. Process can transit to new label only if label is on the list. Only process with CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability can add labels to this list. With this list, process can change it's label without CAP_MAC_ADMIN but only once. After label changing, list is unset. Changes in v2: * use list_for_each_entry instead of _rcu during label write * added missing description in security/Smack.txt Changes in v3: * squashed into one commit Changes in v4: * switch from global list to per-task list * since the per-task list is accessed only by the task itself there is no need to use synchronization mechanisms on it Changes in v5: * change smackfs interface of relabel-self to the one used for onlycap multiple labels are accepted, separated by space, which replace the previous list upon write Signed-off-by: Zbigniew Jasinski <z.jasinski@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Rafal Krypa <r.krypa@samsung.com> Acked-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

2015-06-02Smack: allow multiple labels in onlycapRafal Krypa
Smack onlycap allows limiting of CAP_MAC_ADMIN and CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE to processes running with the configured label. But having single privileged label is not enough in some real use cases. On a complex system like Tizen, there maybe few programs that need to configure Smack policy in run-time and running them all with a single label is not always practical. This patch extends onlycap feature for multiple labels. They are configured in the same smackfs "onlycap" interface, separated by spaces. Signed-off-by: Rafal Krypa <r.krypa@samsung.com>
2015-05-12LSM: Switch to lists of hooksCasey Schaufler
Instead of using a vector of security operations with explicit, special case stacking of the capability and yama hooks use lists of hooks with capability and yama hooks included as appropriate. The security_operations structure is no longer required. Instead, there is a union of the function pointers that allows all the hooks lists to use a common mechanism for list management while retaining typing. Each module supplies an array describing the hooks it provides instead of a sparsely populated security_operations structure. The description includes the element that gets put on the hook list, avoiding the issues surrounding individual element allocation. The method for registering security modules is changed to reflect the information available. The method for removing a module, currently only used by SELinux, has also changed. It should be generic now, however if there are potential race conditions based on ordering of hook removal that needs to be addressed by the calling module. The security hooks are called from the lists and the first failure is returned.

2015-03-23Smack: Allow an unconfined label in bringup modeCasey Schaufler
I have vehemently opposed adding a "permissive" mode to Smack for the simple reasons that it would be subject to massive abuse and that developers refuse to turn it off come product release. I still believe that this is true, and still refuse to add a general "permissive mode". So don't ask again. Bumjin Im suggested an approach that addresses most of the concerns, and I have implemented it here. I still believe that we'd be better off without this sort of thing, but it looks like this minimizes the abuse potential. Firstly, you have to configure Smack Bringup Mode. That allows for "release" software to be ammune from abuse. Second, only one label gets to be "permissive" at a time. You can use it for debugging, but that's about it. A label written to smackfs/unconfined is treated specially. If either the subject or object label of an access check matches the "unconfined" label, and the access would not have been allowed otherwise an audit record and a console message are generated. The audit record "request" string is marked with either "(US)" or "(UO)", to indicate that the request was granted because of an unconfined label. The fact that an inode was accessed by an unconfined label is remembered, and subsequent accesses to that "impure" object are noted in the log. The impurity is not stored in the filesystem, so a file mislabled as a side effect of using an unconfined label may still cause concern after a reboot. So, it's there, it's dangerous, but so many application developers seem incapable of living without it I have given in. I've tried to make it as safe as I can, but in the end it's still a chain saw.

2015-01-21smack: fix possible use after frees in task_security() callersAndrey Ryabinin
We hit use after free on dereferncing pointer to task_smack struct in smk_of_task() called from smack_task_to_inode(). task_security() macro uses task_cred_xxx() to get pointer to the task_smack. task_cred_xxx() could be used only for non-pointer members of task's credentials. It cannot be used for pointer members since what they point to may disapper after dropping RCU read lock. Mainly task_security() used this way: smk_of_task(task_security(p)) Intead of this introduce function smk_of_task_struct() which takes task_struct as argument and returns pointer to smk_known struct and do this under RCU read lock. Bogus task_security() macro is not used anymore, so remove it.

2015-01-20Smack: secmark support for netfilterCasey Schaufler
Smack uses CIPSO to label internet packets and thus provide for access control on delivery of packets. The netfilter facility was not used to allow for Smack to work properly without netfilter configuration. Smack does not need netfilter, however there are cases where it would be handy. As a side effect, the labeling of local IPv4 packets can be optimized and the handling of local IPv6 packets is just all out better. The best part is that the netfilter tools use "contexts" that are just strings, and they work just as well for Smack as they do for SELinux.

2014-08-28Smack: Bring-up access modeCasey Schaufler
People keep asking me for permissive mode, and I keep saying "no". Permissive mode is wrong for more reasons than I can enumerate, but the compelling one is that it's once on, never off. Nonetheless, there is an argument to be made for running a process with lots of permissions, logging which are required, and then locking the process down. There wasn't a way to do that with Smack, but this provides it. The notion is that you start out by giving the process an appropriate Smack label, such as "ATBirds". You create rules with a wide range of access and the "b" mode. On Tizen it might be: ATBirds System rwxalb ATBirds User rwxalb ATBirds _ rwxalb User ATBirds wb System ATBirds wb Accesses that fail will generate audit records. Accesses that succeed because of rules marked with a "b" generate log messages identifying the rule, the program and as much object information as is convenient. When the system is properly configured and the programs brought in line with the labeling scheme the "b" mode can be removed from the rules. When the system is ready for production the facility can be configured out. This provides the developer the convenience of permissive mode without creating a system that looks like it is enforcing a policy while it is not.

2013-10-18Smack: Implement lock security modeCasey Schaufler
Linux file locking does not follow the same rules as other mechanisms. Even though it is a write operation a process can set a read lock on files which it has open only for read access. Two programs with read access to a file can use read locks to communicate. This is not acceptable in a Mandatory Access Control environment. Smack treats setting a read lock as the write operation that it is. Unfortunately, many programs assume that setting a read lock is a read operation. These programs are unhappy in the Smack environment. This patch introduces a new access mode (lock) to address this problem. A process with lock access to a file can set a read lock. A process with write access to a file can set a read lock or a write lock. This prevents a situation where processes are granted write access just so they can set read locks.

2013-08-01Smack: network label match fixCasey Schaufler
The Smack code that matches incoming CIPSO tags with Smack labels reaches through the NetLabel interfaces and compares the network data with the CIPSO header associated with a Smack label. This was done in a ill advised attempt to optimize performance. It works so long as the categories fit in a single capset, but this isn't always the case. This patch changes the Smack code to use the appropriate NetLabel interfaces to compare the incoming CIPSO header with the CIPSO header associated with a label. It will always match the CIPSO headers correctly. Targeted for git://git.gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2013-08-01security: smack: add a hash table to quicken smk_find_entry()Tomasz Stanislawski
Accepted for the smack-next tree after changing the number of slots from 128 to 16. This patch adds a hash table to quicken searching of a smack label by its name. Basically, the patch improves performance of SMACK initialization. Parsing of rules involves translation from a string to a smack_known (aka label) entity which is done in smk_find_entry(). The current implementation of the function iterates over a global list of smack_known resulting in O(N) complexity for smk_find_entry(). The total complexity of SMACK initialization becomes O(rules * labels). Therefore it scales quadratically with a complexity of a system. Applying the patch reduced the complexity of smk_find_entry() to O(1) as long as number of label is in hundreds. If the number of labels is increased please update SMACK_HASH_SLOTS constant defined in security/smack/smack.h. Introducing the configuration of this constant with Kconfig or cmdline might be a good idea. The size of the hash table was adjusted experimentally. The rule set used by TIZEN contains circa 17K rules for 500 labels. The table above contains results of SMACK initialization using 'time smackctl apply' bash command. The 'Ref' is a kernel without this patch applied. The consecutive values refers to value of SMACK_HASH_SLOTS. Every measurement was repeated three times to reduce noise. | Ref | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128 | 256 | 512 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run1 | 1.156 | 1.096 | 0.883 | 0.764 | 0.692 | 0.667 | 0.649 | 0.633 | 0.634 | 0.629 | 0.620 Run2 | 1.156 | 1.111 | 0.885 | 0.764 | 0.694 | 0.661 | 0.649 | 0.651 | 0.634 | 0.638 | 0.623 Run3 | 1.160 | 1.107 | 0.886 | 0.764 | 0.694 | 0.671 | 0.661 | 0.638 | 0.631 | 0.624 | 0.638 AVG | 1.157 | 1.105 | 0.885 | 0.764 | 0.693 | 0.666 | 0.653 | 0.641 | 0.633 | 0.630 | 0.627 Surprisingly, a single hlist is slightly faster than a double-linked list. The speed-up saturates near 64 slots. Therefore I chose value 128 to provide some margin if more labels were used. It looks that IO becomes a new bottleneck.

2012-07-13Smack: onlycap limits on CAP_MAC_ADMINCasey Schaufler
Smack is integrated with the POSIX capabilities scheme, using the capabilities CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_MAC_ADMIN to determine if a process is allowed to ignore Smack checks or change Smack related data respectively. Smack provides an additional restriction that if an onlycap value is set by writing to /smack/onlycap only tasks with that Smack label are allowed to use CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE. This change adds CAP_MAC_ADMIN as a capability that is affected by the onlycap mechanism.

This patch repairs these errors. 1. smack_sb_kern_mount() included a NULL check that is impossible. The check and NULL case are removed. 2. smack_kb_kern_mount() included pointless locking. The locking is removed. Since this is the only place that lock was used the lock is removed from the superblock_smack structure. 3. smk_fill_super() incorrectly and unnecessarily set the Smack label for the smackfs root inode.

2012-05-14Smack: allow for significantly longer Smack labels v4Casey Schaufler
V4 updated to current linux-security#next Targeted for git://gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git Modern application runtime environments like to use naming schemes that are structured and generated without human intervention. Even though the Smack limit of 23 characters for a label name is perfectly rational for human use there have been complaints that the limit is a problem in environments where names are composed from a set or sources, including vendor, author, distribution channel and application name. Names like softwarehouse-pgwodehouse-coolappstore-mellowmuskrats are becoming harder to avoid. This patch introduces long label support in Smack. Labels are now limited to 255 characters instead of the old 23. The primary reason for limiting the labels to 23 characters was so they could be directly contained in CIPSO category sets. This is still done were possible, but for labels that are too large a mapping is required. This is perfectly safe for communication that stays "on the box" and doesn't require much coordination between boxes beyond what would have been required to keep label names consistent. The bulk of this patch is in smackfs, adding and updating administrative interfaces. Because existing APIs can't be changed new ones that do much the same things as old ones have been introduced. The Smack specific CIPSO data representation has been removed and replaced with the data format used by netlabel. The CIPSO header is now computed when a label is imported rather than on use. This results in improved IP performance. The smack label is now allocated separately from the containing structure, allowing for larger strings. Four new /smack interfaces have been introduced as four of the old interfaces strictly required labels be specified in fixed length arrays. The access interface is supplemented with the check interface: access "Subject Object rwxat" access2 "Subject Object rwaxt" The load interface is supplemented with the rules interface: load "Subject Object rwxat" load2 "Subject Object rwaxt" The load-self interface is supplemented with the self-rules interface: load-self "Subject Object rwxat" load-self2 "Subject Object rwaxt" The cipso interface is supplemented with the wire interface: cipso "Subject lvl cnt c1 c2 ..." cipso2 "Subject lvl cnt c1 c2 ..." The old interfaces are maintained for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

2012-04-03LSM: shrink the common_audit_data data unionEric Paris
After shrinking the common_audit_data stack usage for private LSM data I'm not going to shrink the data union. To do this I'm going to move anything larger than 2 void * ptrs to it's own structure and require it to be declared separately on the calling stack. Thus hot paths which don't need more than a couple pointer don't have to declare space to hold large unneeded structures. I could get this down to one void * by dealing with the key struct and the struct path. We'll see if that is helpful after taking care of networking.

2011-10-12Smack: Rule list lookup performanceCasey Schaufler
This patch is targeted for the smack-next tree. Smack access checks suffer from two significant performance issues. In cases where there are large numbers of rules the search of the single list of rules is wasteful. Comparing the string values of the smack labels is less efficient than a numeric comparison would. These changes take advantage of the Smack label list, which maintains the mapping of Smack labels to secids and optional CIPSO labels. Because the labels are kept perpetually, an access check can be done strictly based on the address of the label in the list without ever looking at the label itself. Rather than keeping one global list of rules the rules with a particular subject label can be based off of that label list entry. The access check need never look at entries that do not use the current subject label. This requires that packets coming off the network with CIPSO direct Smack labels that have never been seen before be treated carefully. The only case where they could be delivered is where the receiving socket has an IPIN star label, so that case is explicitly addressed. On a system with 39,800 rules (200 labels in all permutations) a system with this patch runs an access speed test in 5% of the time of the old version. That should be a best case improvement. If all of the rules are associated with the same subject label and all of the accesses are for processes with that label (unlikely) the improvement is about 30%.

2011-01-17Subject: [PATCH] Smack: mmap controls for library containmentCasey Schaufler
In the embedded world there are often situations where libraries are updated from a variety of sources, for a variety of reasons, and with any number of security characteristics. These differences might include privilege required for a given library provided interface to function properly, as occurs from time to time in graphics libraries. There are also cases where it is important to limit use of libraries based on the provider of the library and the security aware application may make choices based on that criteria. These issues are addressed by providing an additional Smack label that may optionally be assigned to an object, the SMACK64MMAP attribute. An mmap operation is allowed if there is no such attribute. If there is a SMACK64MMAP attribute the mmap is permitted only if a subject with that label has all of the access permitted a subject with the current task label. Security aware applications may from time to time wish to reduce their "privilege" to avoid accidental use of privilege. One case where this arises is the environment in which multiple sources provide libraries to perform the same functions. An application may know that it should eschew services made available from a particular vendor, or of a particular version. In support of this a secondary list of Smack rules has been added that is local to the task. This list is consulted only in the case where the global list has approved access. It can only further restrict access. Unlike the global last, if no entry is found on the local list access is granted. An application can add entries to its own list by writing to /smack/load-self. The changes appear large as they involve refactoring the list handling to accomodate there being more than one rule list. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2010-12-07Smack: Transmute labels on specified directoriesJarkko Sakkinen
In a situation where Smack access rules allow processes with multiple labels to write to a directory it is easy to get into a situation where the directory gets cluttered with files that the owner can't deal with because while they could be written to the directory a process at the label of the directory can't write them. This is generally the desired behavior, but when it isn't it is a real issue. This patch introduces a new attribute SMACK64TRANSMUTE that instructs Smack to create the file with the label of the directory under certain circumstances. A new access mode, "t" for transmute, is made available to Smack access rules, which are expanded from "rwxa" to "rwxat". If a file is created in a directory marked as transmutable and if access was granted to perform the operation by a rule that included the transmute mode, then the file gets the Smack label of the directory instead of the Smack label of the creating process. Note that this is equivalent to creating an empty file at the label of the directory and then having the other process write to it. The transmute scheme requires that both the access rule allows transmutation and that the directory be explicitly marked.
