2012-03-15TOMOYO: Return appropriate value to poll().Tetsuo Handa
"struct file_operations"->poll() expects "unsigned int" return value. All files in /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ directory other than /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/query and /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/audit should return POLLIN | POLLRDNORM | POLLOUT | POLLWRNORM rather than -ENOSYS. Also, /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/query and /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/audit should return POLLOUT | POLLWRNORM rather than 0 when there is no data to read.

2012-03-01TOMOYO: Fix mount flags checking order.Tetsuo Handa
Userspace can pass in arbitrary combinations of MS_* flags to mount(). If both MS_BIND and one of MS_SHARED/MS_PRIVATE/MS_SLAVE/MS_UNBINDABLE are passed, device name which should be checked for MS_BIND was not checked because MS_SHARED/MS_PRIVATE/MS_SLAVE/MS_UNBINDABLE had higher priority than MS_BIND. If both one of MS_BIND/MS_MOVE and MS_REMOUNT are passed, device name which should not be checked for MS_REMOUNT was checked because MS_BIND/MS_MOVE had higher priority than MS_REMOUNT. Fix these bugs by changing priority to MS_REMOUNT -> MS_BIND -> MS_SHARED/MS_PRIVATE/MS_SLAVE/MS_UNBINDABLE -> MS_MOVE as with do_mount() does. Also, unconditionally return -EINVAL if more than one of MS_SHARED/MS_PRIVATE/MS_SLAVE/MS_UNBINDABLE is passed so that TOMOYO will not generate inaccurate audit logs, for commit 7a2e8a8f "VFS: Sanity check mount flags passed to change_mnt_propagation()" clarified that these flags must be exclusively passed.

2012-02-27AppArmor: Fix the error case for chroot relative path name lookupJohn Johansen
When a chroot relative pathname lookup fails it is falling through to do a d_absolute_path lookup. This is incorrect as d_absolute_path should only be used to lookup names for namespace absolute paths. Signed-off-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com> Acked-by: Kees Cook <kees@ubuntu.com>
2012-02-27AppArmor: fix mapping of META_READ to audit and quiet flagsJohn Johansen
The mapping of AA_MAY_META_READ for the allow mask was also being mapped to the audit and quiet masks. This would result in some operations being audited when the should not. This flaw was hidden by the previous audit bug which would drop some messages that where supposed to be audited.

2012-02-27AppArmor: Fix underflow in xindex calculationJohn Johansen
If the xindex value stored in the accept tables is 0, the extraction of that value will result in an underflow (0 - 4). In properly compiled policy this should not happen for file rules but it may be possible for other rule types in the future. To exploit this underflow a user would have to be able to load a corrupt policy, which requires CAP_MAC_ADMIN, overwrite system policy in kernel memory or know of a compiler error resulting in the flaw being present for loaded policy (no such flaw is known at this time).

2012-02-27AppArmor: Fix dropping of allowed operations that are force auditedJohn Johansen
The audit permission flag, that specifies an audit message should be provided when an operation is allowed, was being ignored in some cases. This is because the auto audit mode (which determines the audit mode from system flags) was incorrectly assigned the same value as audit mode. The shared value would result in messages that should be audited going through a second evaluation as to whether they should be audited based on the auto audit, resulting in some messages being dropped.

2012-02-16Yama: add PR_SET_PTRACER_ANYKees Cook
For a process to entirely disable Yama ptrace restrictions, it can use the special PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY pid to indicate that any otherwise allowed process may ptrace it. This is stronger than calling PR_SET_PTRACER with pid "1" because it includes processes in external pid namespaces. This is currently needed by the Chrome renderer, since its crash handler (Breakpad) runs external to the renderer's pid namespace.

2012-01-19KEYS: Allow special keyrings to be clearedDavid Howells
The kernel contains some special internal keyrings, for instance the DNS resolver keyring : 2a93faf1 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: empty It would occasionally be useful to allow the contents of such keyrings to be flushed by root (cache invalidation). Allow a flag to be set on a keyring to mark that someone possessing the sysadmin capability can clear the keyring, even without normal write access to the keyring. Set this flag on the special keyrings created by the DNS resolver, the NFS identity mapper and the CIFS identity mapper.

2012-01-17keys: add a "logon" key typeJeff Layton
For CIFS, we want to be able to store NTLM credentials (aka username and password) in the keyring. We do not, however want to allow users to fetch those keys back out of the keyring since that would be a security risk. Unfortunately, due to the nuances of key permission bits, it's not possible to do this. We need to grant search permissions so the kernel can find these keys, but that also implies permissions to read the payload. Resolve this by adding a new key_type. This key type is essentially the same as key_type_user, but does not define a .read op. This prevents the payload from ever being visible from userspace. This key type also vets the description to ensure that it's "qualified" by checking to ensure that it has a ':' in it that is preceded by other characters.

2012-01-10securityfs: fix object creation racesAl Viro
inode needs to be fully set up before we feed it to d_instantiate(). securityfs_create_file() does *not* do so; it sets ->i_fop and ->i_private only after we'd exposed the inode. Unfortunately, that's done fairly deep in call chain, so the amount of churn is considerable. Helper functions killed by substituting into their solitary call sites, dead code removed. We finally can bury default_file_ops, now that the final value of ->i_fop is available (and assigned) at the point where inode is allocated.

Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective capabilities from the skb that was being received. Today we instead get the capabilities from the current task.

2012-01-05ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/statEric Paris
Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions on that process. If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the process which might have security and attack implications. If the current task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields are filled with inocuous (0) values. Since this check and a subsequent denial is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials. This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.
