2024-12-13selinux: add support for xperms in conditional policiesChristian Göttsche
Add support for extended permission rules in conditional policies. Currently the kernel accepts such rules already, but evaluating a security decision will hit a BUG() in services_compute_xperms_decision(). Thus reject extended permission rules in conditional policies for current policy versions. Add a new policy version for this feature.

2024-10-07selinux: Add netlink xperm supportThiébaud Weksteen
Reuse the existing extended permissions infrastructure to support policies based on the netlink message types. A new policy capability "netlink_xperm" is introduced. When disabled, the previous behaviour is preserved. That is, netlink_send will rely on the permission mappings defined in nlmsgtab.c (e.g, nlmsg_read for RTM_GETADDR on NETLINK_ROUTE). When enabled, the mappings are ignored and the generic "nlmsg" permission is used instead. The new "nlmsg" permission is an extended permission. The 16 bits of the extended permission are mapped to the nlmsg_type field. Example policy on Android, preventing regular apps from accessing the device's MAC address and ARP table, but allowing this access to privileged apps, looks as follows: allow netdomain self:netlink_route_socket { create read getattr write setattr lock append connect getopt setopt shutdown nlmsg }; allowxperm netdomain self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg ~{ RTM_GETLINK RTM_GETNEIGH RTM_GETNEIGHTBL }; allowxperm priv_app self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg { RTM_GETLINK RTM_GETNEIGH RTM_GETNEIGHTBL }; The constants in the example above (e.g., RTM_GETLINK) are explicitly defined in the policy. It is possible to generate policies to support kernels that may or may not have the capability enabled by generating a rule for each scenario. For instance: allow domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg_read; allow domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg; allowxperm domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg { AUDIT_GET }; The approach of defining a new permission ("nlmsg") instead of relying on the existing permissions (e.g., "nlmsg_read", "nlmsg_readpriv" or "nlmsg_tty_audit") has been preferred because: 1. This is similar to the other extended permission ("ioctl"); 2. With the new extended permission, the coarse-grained mapping is not necessary anymore. It could eventually be removed, which would be impossible if the extended permission was defined below these. 3. Having a single extra extended permission considerably simplifies the implementation here and in libselinux.

2023-07-19selinux: drop avtab_search()Christian Göttsche
avtab_search() shares the same logic with avtab_search_node(), except that it returns, if found, a pointer to the struct avtab_node member datum instead of the node itself. Since the member is an embedded struct, and not a pointer, the returned value of avtab_search() and avtab_search_node() will always in unison either be NULL or non-NULL. Drop avtab_search() and replace its calls by avtab_search_node() to deduplicate logic and adopt the only caller caring for the type of the returned value accordingly.

2021-04-02selinux: fix cond_list corruption when changing booleansOndrej Mosnacek
Currently, duplicate_policydb_cond_list() first copies the whole conditional avtab and then tries to link to the correct entries in cond_dup_av_list() using avtab_search(). However, since the conditional avtab may contain multiple entries with the same key, this approach often fails to find the right entry, potentially leading to wrong rules being activated/deactivated when booleans are changed. To fix this, instead start with an empty conditional avtab and add the individual entries one-by-one while building the new av_lists. This approach leads to the correct result, since each entry is present in the av_lists exactly once. The issue can be reproduced with Fedora policy as follows: # sesearch -s ftpd_t -t public_content_rw_t -c dir -p create -A allow ftpd_t non_security_file_type:dir { add_name create getattr ioctl link lock open read remove_name rename reparent rmdir search setattr unlink watch watch_reads write }; [ ftpd_full_access ]:True allow ftpd_t public_content_rw_t:dir { add_name create link remove_name rename reparent rmdir setattr unlink watch watch_reads write }; [ ftpd_anon_write ]:True # setsebool ftpd_anon_write=off ftpd_connect_all_unreserved=off ftpd_connect_db=off ftpd_full_access=off On fixed kernels, the sesearch output is the same after the setsebool command: # sesearch -s ftpd_t -t public_content_rw_t -c dir -p create -A allow ftpd_t non_security_file_type:dir { add_name create getattr ioctl link lock open read remove_name rename reparent rmdir search setattr unlink watch watch_reads write }; [ ftpd_full_access ]:True allow ftpd_t public_content_rw_t:dir { add_name create link remove_name rename reparent rmdir setattr unlink watch watch_reads write }; [ ftpd_anon_write ]:True While on the broken kernels, it will be different: # sesearch -s ftpd_t -t public_content_rw_t -c dir -p create -A allow ftpd_t non_security_file_type:dir { add_name create getattr ioctl link lock open read remove_name rename reparent rmdir search setattr unlink watch watch_reads write }; [ ftpd_full_access ]:True allow ftpd_t non_security_file_type:dir { add_name create getattr ioctl link lock open read remove_name rename reparent rmdir search setattr unlink watch watch_reads write }; [ ftpd_full_access ]:True allow ftpd_t non_security_file_type:dir { add_name create getattr ioctl link lock open read remove_name rename reparent rmdir search setattr unlink watch watch_reads write }; [ ftpd_full_access ]:True While there, also simplify the computation of nslots. This changes the nslots values for nrules 2 or 3 to just two slots instead of 4, which makes the sequence more consistent.

2020-08-17selinux: refactor changing booleansStephen Smalley
Refactor the logic for changing SELinux policy booleans in a similar manner to the refactoring of policy load, thereby reducing the size of the critical section when the policy write-lock is held and making it easier to convert the policy rwlock to RCU in the future. Instead of directly modifying the policydb in place, modify a copy and then swap it into place through a single pointer update. Only fully copy the portions of the policydb that are affected by boolean changes to avoid the full cost of a deep policydb copy. Introduce another level of indirection for the sidtab since changing booleans does not require updating the sidtab, unlike policy load. While we are here, create a common helper for notifying other kernel components and userspace of a policy change and call it from both security_set_bools() and selinux_policy_commit(). Based on an old (2004) patch by Kaigai Kohei [1] to convert the policy rwlock to RCU that was deferred at the time since it did not significantly improve performance and introduced complexity. Peter Enderborg later submitted a patch series to convert to RCU [2] that would have made changing booleans a much more expensive operation by requiring a full policydb_write();policydb_read(); sequence to deep copy the entire policydb and also had concerns regarding atomic allocations. This change is now simplified by the earlier work to encapsulate policy state in the selinux_policy struct and to refactor policy load. After this change, the last major obstacle to converting the policy rwlock to RCU is likely the sidtab live convert support.

Define a selinux state structure (struct selinux_state) for global SELinux state and pass it explicitly to all security server functions. The public portion of the structure contains state that is used throughout the SELinux code, such as the enforcing mode. The structure also contains a pointer to a selinux_ss structure whose definition is private to the security server and contains security server specific state such as the policy database and SID table. This change should have no effect on SELinux behavior or APIs (userspace or LSM). It merely wraps SELinux state and passes it explicitly as needed.

2015-07-13selinux: extended permissions for ioctlsJeff Vander Stoep
Add extended permissions logic to selinux. Extended permissions provides additional permissions in 256 bit increments. Extend the generic ioctl permission check to use the extended permissions for per-command filtering. Source/target/class sets including the ioctl permission may additionally include a set of commands. Example: allowxperm <source> <target>:<class> ioctl unpriv_app_socket_cmds auditallowxperm <source> <target>:<class> ioctl priv_gpu_cmds Where unpriv_app_socket_cmds and priv_gpu_cmds are macros representing commonly granted sets of ioctl commands. When ioctl commands are omitted only the permissions are checked. This feature is intended to provide finer granularity for the ioctl permission that may be too imprecise. For example, the same driver may use ioctls to provide important and benign functionality such as driver version or socket type as well as dangerous capabilities such as debugging features, read/write/execute to physical memory or access to sensitive data. Per-command filtering provides a mechanism to reduce the attack surface of the kernel, and limit applications to the subset of commands required. The format of the policy binary has been modified to include ioctl commands, and the policy version number has been incremented to POLICYDB_VERSION_XPERMS_IOCTL=30 to account for the format change. The extended permissions logic is deliberately generic to allow components to be reused e.g. netlink filters Signed-off-by: Jeff Vander Stoep <jeffv@google.com> Acked-by: Nick Kralevich <nnk@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>

2015-04-06selinux: Use a better hash function for avtabJohn Brooks
This function, based on murmurhash3, has much better distribution than the original.

A naive attempt to expand the current function to larger outputs doesn't yield any significant improvement; so this function is a prerequisite for increasing the bucket size. sds: Adapted from the original patches for libsepol to the kernel.

2011-02-01SELinux: Use dentry name in new object labelingEric Paris
Currently SELinux has rules which label new objects according to 3 criteria. The label of the process creating the object, the label of the parent directory, and the type of object (reg, dir, char, block, etc.) This patch adds a 4th criteria, the dentry name, thus we can distinguish between creating a file in an etc_t directory called shadow and one called motd. There is no file globbing, regex parsing, or anything mystical. Either the policy exactly (strcmp) matches the dentry name of the object or it doesn't. This patch has no changes from today if policy does not implement the new rules. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2005-09-05[PATCH] selinux: Reduce memory use by avtabStephen Smalley
This patch improves memory use by SELinux by both reducing the avtab node size and reducing the number of avtab nodes. The memory savings are substantial, e.g. on a 64-bit system after boot, James Morris reported the following data for the targeted and strict policies: #objs objsize kernmem Targeted: Before: 237888 40 9.1MB After: 19968 24 468KB Strict: Before: 571680 40 21.81MB After: 221052 24 5.06MB The improvement in memory use comes at a cost in the speed of security server computations of access vectors, but these computations are only required on AVC cache misses, and performance measurements by James Morris using a number of benchmarks have shown that the change does not cause any significant degradation. Note that a rebuilt policy via an updated policy toolchain (libsepol/checkpolicy) is required in order to gain the full benefits of this patch, although some memory savings benefits are immediately applied even to older policies (in particular, the reduction in avtab node size).
