SELinux: How to split permissions for keys?

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

 



Hi Stephen,

I have patches to split the permissions that are used for keys to make them a
bit finer grained and easier to use - and also to move to ACLs rather than
fixed masks.  See patch "keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with
an ACL" here:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=keys-acl

However, I may not have managed the permission mask transformation inside
SELinux correctly.  Could you lend an eyeball?  The change to the permissions
model is as follows:

    The SETATTR permission is split to create two new permissions:
    
     (1) SET_SECURITY - which allows the key's owner, group and ACL to be
         changed and a restriction to be placed on a keyring.
    
     (2) REVOKE - which allows a key to be revoked.
    
    The SEARCH permission is split to create:
    
     (1) SEARCH - which allows a keyring to be search and a key to be found.
    
     (2) JOIN - which allows a keyring to be joined as a session keyring.
    
     (3) INVAL - which allows a key to be invalidated.
    
    The WRITE permission is also split to create:
    
     (1) WRITE - which allows a key's content to be altered and links to be
         added, removed and replaced in a keyring.
    
     (2) CLEAR - which allows a keyring to be cleared completely.  This is
         split out to make it possible to give just this to an administrator.
    
     (3) REVOKE - see above.

The change to SELinux is attached below.

Should the split be pushed down into the SELinux policy rather than trying to
calculate it?

Thanks,
David
