I'm thinking of the audit_alloc() case where audit_filter_task() returns AUDIT_DISABLED. I believe this is the same reason why loginuid and sessionid live directly in the task_struct and not in the audit_context; they need to persist for the lifetime of the task. > If it is only used for audit, and audit is the only consumer, and audit > can only use it when it is enabled, then we can just return success to > any write to the proc filehandle, or not even present it.

This was outlined in the proposal. I just went back and reread the v3 proposal and I still don't see a good explanation of this. Why is this bad? What's the security concern? > Having said that, I'm still not sure we have protected sufficiently from > a child turning around and setting it's parent's as yet unset or > inherited audit container ID. Yes, I believe we only want to let a task set the audit container for it's children (or itself/threads if we decide to allow that, see above). There *has* to be a function to check to see if a task if a child of a given task ... right? ... although this is likely to be a pointer traversal and locking nightmare ... hmmm. >> I ask because I suppose it might be possible for some container >> runtime to do a fork, setup some of the environment and them exec the >> container (before you answer the obvious "namespaces!" please remember >> we're not trying to define containers). > > I don't think namespaces have any bearing on this concern since none are > required. > >> > + /* Don't allow the containerid to be unset */ >> > + if (!cid_valid(containerid)) >> > + return -EINVAL; >> > + /* if we don't have caps, reject */ >> > + if (!capable(CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL)) >> > + return -EPERM; >> > + /* if containerid is unset, allow */ >> > + if (!audit_containerid_set(task)) >> > + return 0; >> > + /* it is already set, and not inherited from the parent, reject */ >> > + ccontainerid = audit_get_containerid(task); >> > + rcu_read_lock(); >> > + parent = rcu_dereference(task->real_parent); >> > + rcu_read_unlock(); >> > + task_lock(parent); >> > + pcontainerid = audit_get_containerid(parent); >> > + task_unlock(parent); >> > + if (ccontainerid != pcontainerid) >> > + return -EPERM; >> > + return 0; >> > +} >> > + >> > +static void audit_log_set_containerid(struct task_struct *task, u64 oldcontainerid, >> > + u64 containerid, int rc) >> > +{ >> > + struct audit_buffer *ab; >> > + uid_t uid; >> > + struct tty_struct *tty; >> > + >> > + if (!audit_enabled) >> > + return; >> > + >> > + ab = audit_log_start(NULL, GFP_KERNEL, AUDIT_CONTAINER); >> > + if (!ab) >> > + return; >> > + >> > + uid = from_kuid(&init_user_ns, task_uid(current)); >> > + tty = audit_get_tty(current); >> > + >> > + audit_log_format(ab, "op=set pid=%d uid=%u", task_tgid_nr(current), uid); >> > + audit_log_task_context(ab); >> > + audit_log_format(ab, " auid=%u tty=%s ses=%u opid=%d old-contid=%llu contid=%llu res=%d", >> > + from_kuid(&init_user_ns, audit_get_loginuid(current)), >> > + tty ? tty_name(tty) : "(none)", audit_get_sessionid(current), >> > + task_tgid_nr(task), oldcontainerid, containerid, !rc); >> > + >> > + audit_put_tty(tty); >> > + audit_log_end(ab); >> > +} >> > + >> > +/** >> > + * audit_set_containerid - set current task's audit_context containerid >> > + * @containerid: containerid value >> > + * >> > + * Returns 0 on success, -EPERM on permission failure. >> > + * >> > + * Called (set) from fs/proc/base.c::proc_containerid_write(). >> > + */ >> > +int audit_set_containerid(struct task_struct *task, u64 containerid) >> > +{ >> > + u64 oldcontainerid; >> > + int rc; >> > + >> > + oldcontainerid = audit_get_containerid(task); >> > + >> > + rc = audit_set_containerid_perm(task, containerid); >> > + if (!rc) { >> > + task_lock(task); >> > + task->containerid = containerid; >> > + task_unlock(task); >> > + } >> > + >> > + audit_log_set_containerid(task, oldcontainerid, containerid, rc); >> > + return rc; >> >> Why are audit_set_containerid_perm() and audit_log_containerid() >> separate functions? > > (I assume you mean audit_log_set_containerid()?) Yep. My fingers got tired typing in that function name and decided a shortcut was necessary. > It seemed clearer that all the permission checking was in one function > and its return code could be used to report the outcome when logging the > (attempted) action. This is the same structure as audit_set_loginuid() > and it made sense. When possible I really like it when the permission checks are in the same function as the code which does the work; it's less likely to get abused that way (you have to willfully bypass the access checks). The exceptions might be if you wanted to reuse the access control code, or insert a modular access mechanism (e.g. LSMs). I'm less concerned about audit_log_set_containerid(), but the usual idea of avoiding single-use function within the same scope applies here. > This would be the time to connect it to a syscall if that seems like a > good idea and remove pid, uid, auid, tty, ses fields. Ah yes, I missed that. You know my stance on connecting records by now (hint: yes, connect them) so I think that would be a good thing to do for the next round. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
