I have one more question, there is a field "secmark" in the sk_buff structure, i was wondering if i can safely use it instead of adding security_sk_getsecid I did some tests and the secmark revolves exactly to secid if security marking is turned on and smack has the option "Packet marking using secmarks for netfilter/CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK_NETFILTER:" turned on The function smack does it in, seems like it's doing exactly what one would expect: static unsigned int smack_ipv4_output(const struct nf_hook_ops *ops, struct sk_buff *skb, const struct nf_hook_state *state) { struct socket_smack *ssp; struct smack_known *skp; if (skb && skb->sk && skb->sk->sk_security) { ssp = skb->sk->sk_security; skp = ssp->smk_out; skb->secmark = skp->smk_secid; } return NF_ACCEPT; } and it's registered as an op static struct nf_hook_ops smack_nf_ops[] = { { .hook = smack_ipv4_output, .owner = THIS_MODULE, .pf = NFPROTO_IPV4, .hooknum = NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT, .priority = NF_IP_PRI_SELINUX_FIRST, }, (the same is done for ipv6) So would it be safe to use it ? best regards On 05/27/2015 01:48 PM, Florian Westphal wrote: > Roman Kubiak <r.kubiak@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> This patch adds an additional attribute when sending >> packet information via netlink in netfilter_queue module. >> It will send additional security context data, so that >> userspace applications can verify this context against >> their own security databases. >> >> Signed-off-by: Roman Kubiak <r.kubiak@xxxxxxxxxxx> >> --- >> v2: >> - nfqnl_get_sk_secctx returns seclen now, this changes >> - updated size calculation >> - changed NFQA_SECCTX comment >> - removed duplicate testing of NFQA_CFG_F flags >> >> v3: >> - NULL is not added to the security context anymore >> - return 0 when socket is invalid in nfqnl_get_sk_secctx >> - small intent change >> - removed ret variable in nfqnl_get_sk_secctx >> --- >> include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.h | 4 +++- >> net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >> 2 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.h b/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.h >> index 8dd819e..b67a853 100644 >> --- a/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.h >> +++ b/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.h >> @@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ enum nfqnl_attr_type { >> NFQA_EXP, /* nf_conntrack_netlink.h */ >> NFQA_UID, /* __u32 sk uid */ >> NFQA_GID, /* __u32 sk gid */ >> + NFQA_SECCTX, /* security context string */ >> >> __NFQA_MAX >> }; >> @@ -102,7 +103,8 @@ enum nfqnl_attr_config { >> #define NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK (1 << 1) >> #define NFQA_CFG_F_GSO (1 << 2) >> #define NFQA_CFG_F_UID_GID (1 << 3) >> -#define NFQA_CFG_F_MAX (1 << 4) >> +#define NFQA_CFG_F_SECCTX (1 << 4) >> +#define NFQA_CFG_F_MAX (1 << 5) >> >> /* flags for NFQA_SKB_INFO */ >> /* packet appears to have wrong checksums, but they are ok */ >> diff --git a/net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c b/net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c >> index 0b98c74..ae4f520 100644 >> --- a/net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c >> +++ b/net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c >> @@ -278,6 +278,24 @@ nla_put_failure: >> return -1; >> } >> >> +static u32 nfqnl_get_sk_secctx(struct sock *sk, char **secdata) >> +{ >> + u32 secid = 0; >> + u32 seclen = 0; >> + >> + if (!sk || !sk_fullsock(sk)) >> + return 0; > > if (!sk) is not needed anymore > >> bool csum_verify; >> + char *secdata = NULL; >> + u32 seclen = 0; >> >> size = nlmsg_total_size(sizeof(struct nfgenmsg)) >> + nla_total_size(sizeof(struct nfqnl_msg_packet_hdr)) >> @@ -352,6 +372,12 @@ nfqnl_build_packet_message(struct net *net, struct nfqnl_instance *queue, >> + nla_total_size(sizeof(u_int32_t))); /* gid */ >> } >> >> + if ((queue->flags & NFQA_CFG_F_SECCTX) && entskb->sk) { > > ... or remove entskb->sk test here (I have no preference where > you test this, either caller or callee is fine with me). > >> skb = nfnetlink_alloc_skb(net, size, queue->peer_portid, >> GFP_ATOMIC); >> if (!skb) { >> @@ -479,6 +505,11 @@ nfqnl_build_packet_message(struct net *net, struct nfqnl_instance *queue, >> nfqnl_put_sk_uidgid(skb, entskb->sk) < 0) >> goto nla_put_failure; >> >> + if (seclen) { >> + if (nla_put(skb, NFQA_SECCTX, seclen, secdata)) >> + goto nla_put_failure; >> + } >> + > > Nit: can be written as > > if (seclen && nla_put(skb, NFQA_SECCTX, seclen, secdata)) > goto nla_put_failure; > > Otherwise I think this looks good.
