Flask Policy Parser (FPP) support to convert Refpolicy to CIL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Attached is the third release of the flask policy parser. This is still
very much experimental.

New with this release is the ability to rewrite Refpolicy into the
Common Intermediate Language (CIL). The resulting CIL can be processed
to generate a policy.conf. There is no support yet for any of the
interesting CIL features such as language transformations. The README
has detailed instructions of how to use fpp.

To generate CIL from Refpolicy:
 ./fpp.lua -o cil -p PATH_TO_REFPOLICY

To generate policy.conf from CIL:
./fpp.lua -i cil -p cil_policy > policy.conf

To generate policy.conf from Refpolicy:
./fpp.lua -p PATH_TO_REFPOLICY > policy.conf

Also new with this release is a very rough search capability. So, for
example, to find and show the trace for all allow statements where
NetworkManager_t has file:read permission on passwd_t the following
command is used:

./fpp_search.lua -p ../refpolicy "allow (equal 1 NetworkManager_t)(sub 2 passwd_t)(sub 3 (file (read)))"

With the following output:

Found matches for: allow (equal 1 NetworkManager_t) (sub 2 passwd_t) (sub 3 ((file (read))))
 |-file ../refpolicy/policy/modules/services/networkmanager.te
 |-module networkmanager
 |-call domain_read_confined_domains_state at Line 100
 |-macro domain_read_confined_domains_state at Line 620 in ../refpolicy/policy/modules/kernel/domain.if
 |-call read_files_pattern at Line 627
 |-macro read_files_pattern at Line 97 in ../refpolicy/policy/support/file_patterns.spt
 \-(allow NetworkManager_t (domain - unconfined_domain_type) (file (read getattr lock ioctl open))) at Line 99


More details can be found in README.

For now, merge_type, clone_type, and add and remove blocks, which were
added in the previous release, are not supported. They (or something
like them) will be supported again when CIL language transforms are
added.
