The LSM can set the socket's CIPSO +label by using the NetLabel security module API; if the NetLabel "domain" is +configured to use CIPSO for packet labeling then a CIPSO IP option will be +generated and attached to the socket. + + * Inbound Packet Processing + +The CIPSO/IPv4 protocol engine validates every CIPSO IP option it finds at the +IP layer without any special handling required by the LSM.

Status + +This Internet Draft provides the high level specification for a Commercial +IP Security Option (CIPSO). This draft reflects the version as approved by +the CIPSO IETF Working Group. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. + +This document is an Internet Draft. Internet Drafts are working documents +of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its Areas, and its Working +Groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as +Internet Drafts. + +Internet Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months. +Internet Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents +at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet Drafts as reference +material or to cite them other than as a "working draft" or "work in +progress." + +Please check the I-D abstract listing contained in each Internet Draft +directory to learn the current status of this or any other Internet Draft. + + + + +2. Background + +Currently the Internet Protocol includes two security options. One of +these options is the DoD Basic Security Option (BSO) (Type 130) which allows +IP datagrams to be labeled with security classifications. This option +provides sixteen security classifications and a variable number of handling +restrictions. To handle additional security information, such as security +categories or compartments, another security option (Type 133) exists and +is referred to as the DoD Extended Security Option (ESO). The values for +the fixed fields within these two options are administered by the Defense +Information Systems Agency (DISA). + +Computer vendors are now building commercial operating systems with +mandatory access controls and multi-level security. These systems are +no longer built specifically for a particular group in the defense or +intelligence communities. They are generally available commercial systems +for use in a variety of government and civil sector environments. + +The small number of ESO format codes can not support all the possible +applications of a commercial security option. The BSO and ESO were +designed to only support the United States DoD. CIPSO has been designed +to support multiple security policies. This Internet Draft provides the +format and procedures required to support a Mandatory Access Control +security policy. Support for additional security policies shall be +defined in future RFCs. + + + + +Internet Draft, Expires 15 Jan 93 [PAGE 1] + + + +CIPSO INTERNET DRAFT 16 July, 1992 + + + + +3. CIPSO Format + +Option type: 134 (Class 0, Number 6, Copy on Fragmentation) +Option length: Variable + +This option permits security related information to be passed between +systems within a single Domain of Interpretation (DOI). A DOI is a +collection of systems which agree on the meaning of particular values +in the security option. An authority that has been assigned a DOI +identifier will define a mapping between appropriate CIPSO field values +and their human readable equivalent. This authority will distribute that +mapping to hosts within the authority's domain. These mappings may be +sensitive, therefore a DOI authority is not required to make these +mappings available to anyone other than the systems that are included in +the DOI. + +This option MUST be copied on fragmentation. This option appears at most +once in a datagram. All multi-octet fields in the option are defined to be +transmitted in network byte order. The format of this option is as follows: + ++----------+----------+------//------+-----------//---------+ +| 10000110 | LLLLLLLL | DDDDDDDDDDDD | TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT | ++----------+----------+------//------+-----------//---------+ + + TYPE=134 OPTION DOMAIN OF TAGS + LENGTH INTERPRETATION + + + Figure 1. CIPSO Format + + +3.1 Type + +This field is 1 octet in length. Its value is 134. + + +3.2 Length + +This field is 1 octet in length.

With the current IP header length +restriction of 40 octets the value of this field MUST not exceed 40. + + +3.3 Domain of Interpretation Identifier + +This field is an unsigned 32 bit integer. The value 0 is reserved and MUST +not appear as the DOI identifier in any CIPSO option. Implementations +should assume that the DOI identifier field is not aligned on any particular +byte boundary. + +To conserve space in the protocol, security levels and categories are +represented by numbers rather than their ASCII equivalent. This requires +a mapping table within CIPSO hosts to map these numbers to their +corresponding ASCII representations. Non-related groups of systems may + + + +Internet Draft, Expires 15 Jan 93 [PAGE 2] + + + +CIPSO INTERNET DRAFT 16 July, 1992 + + + +have their own unique mappings. For example, one group of systems may +use the number 5 to represent Unclassified while another group may use the +number 1 to represent that same security level. The DOI identifier is used +to identify which mapping was used for the values within the option. + + +3.4 Tag Types + +A common format for passing security related information is necessary +for interoperability. CIPSO uses sets of "tags" to contain the security +information relevant to the data in the IP packet. Each tag begins with +a tag type identifier followed by the length of the tag and ends with the +actual security information to be passed. All multi-octet fields in a tag +are defined to be transmitted in network byte order. Like the DOI +identifier field in the CIPSO header, implementations should assume that +all tags, as well as fields within a tag, are not aligned on any particular +octet boundary. The tag types defined in this document contain alignment +bytes to assist alignment of some information, however alignment can not +be guaranteed if CIPSO is not the first IP option. + +CIPSO tag types 0 through 127 are reserved for defining standard tag +formats. Their definitions will be published in RFCs. Tag types whose +identifiers are greater than 127 are defined by the DOI authority and may +only be meaningful in certain Domains of Interpretation. For these tag +types, implementations will require the DOI identifier as well as the tag +number to determine the security policy and the format associated with the +tag. Use of tag types above 127 are restricted to closed networks where +interoperability with other networks will not be an issue. Implementations +that support a tag type greater than 127 MUST support at least one DOI that +requires only tag types 1 to 127. + +Tag type 0 is reserved. Tag types 1, 2, and 5 are defined in this +Internet Draft. Types 3 and 4 are reserved for work in progress. +The standard format for all current and future CIPSO tags is shown below: + ++----------+----------+--------//--------+ +| TTTTTTTT | LLLLLLLL | IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII | ++----------+----------+--------//--------+ + TAG TAG TAG + TYPE LENGTH INFORMATION + + Figure 2: Standard Tag Format + +In the three tag types described in this document, the length and count +restrictions are based on the current IP limitation of 40 octets for all +IP options. If the IP header is later expanded, then the length and count +restrictions specified in this document may increase to use the full area +provided for IP options. + + +3.4.1 Tag Type Classes + +Tag classes consist of tag types that have common processing requirements +and support the same security policy.

The categories MUST be listed in ascending order within the tag. + + +3.4.4 Tag Type 5 + +This is referred to as the "range" tag type.

These range endpoints are inclusive within the range of +categories. All categories within a range are included in the sensitivity +label. This tag may contain a maximum of 7 category pairs. The bottom +category endpoint for the last pair in the tag MAY be omitted and SHOULD be +assumed to be 0. The ranges MUST be non-overlapping and be listed in +descending order. Valid values for categories are 0 to 65534. Category +65535 is not a valid category value. + + +3.4.5 Minimum Requirements + +A CIPSO implementation MUST be capable of generating at least tag type 1 in +the non-optimized form. In addition, a CIPSO implementation MUST be able +to receive any valid tag type 1 even those using the optimized tag type 1 +format. + + +4. Configuration Parameters + +The configuration parameters defined below are required for all CIPSO hosts, +gateways, and routers that support multiple sensitivity labels. A CIPSO +host is defined to be the origination or destination system for an IP +datagram. A CIPSO gateway provides IP routing services between two or more +IP networks and may be required to perform label translations between +networks. A CIPSO gateway may be an enhanced CIPSO host or it may just +provide gateway services with no end system CIPSO capabilities. A CIPSO +router is a dedicated IP router that routes IP datagrams between two or more +IP networks. + +An implementation of CIPSO on a host MUST have the capability to reject a +datagram for reasons that the information contained can not be adequately +protected by the receiving host or if acceptance may result in violation of +the host or network security policy. In addition, a CIPSO gateway or router +MUST be able to reject datagrams going to networks that can not provide +adequate protection or may violate the network's security policy. To +provide this capability the following minimal set of configuration +parameters are required for CIPSO implementations: + +HOST_LABEL_MAX - This parameter contains the maximum sensitivity label that +a CIPSO host is authorized to handle. All datagrams that have a label +greater than this maximum MUST be rejected by the CIPSO host. This +parameter does not apply to CIPSO gateways or routers. This parameter need +not be defined explicitly as it can be implicitly derived from the +PORT_LABEL_MAX parameters for the associated interfaces. + + + +Internet Draft, Expires 15 Jan 93 [PAGE 7] + + + +CIPSO INTERNET DRAFT 16 July, 1992 + + + + +HOST_LABEL_MIN - This parameter contains the minimum sensitivity label that +a CIPSO host is authorized to handle. All datagrams that have a label less +than this minimum MUST be rejected by the CIPSO host. This parameter does +not apply to CIPSO gateways or routers. This parameter need not be defined +explicitly as it can be implicitly derived from the PORT_LABEL_MIN +parameters for the associated interfaces. + +PORT_LABEL_MAX - This parameter contains the maximum sensitivity label for +all datagrams that may exit a particular network interface port. All +outgoing datagrams that have a label greater than this maximum MUST be +rejected by the CIPSO system. The label within this parameter MUST be +less than or equal to the label within the HOST_LABEL_MAX parameter. This +parameter does not apply to CIPSO hosts that support only one network port. + +PORT_LABEL_MIN - This parameter contains the minimum sensitivity label for +all datagrams that may exit a particular network interface port. All +outgoing datagrams that have a label less than this minimum MUST be +rejected by the CIPSO system. The label within this parameter MUST be +greater than or equal to the label within the HOST_LABEL_MIN parameter. +This parameter does not apply to CIPSO hosts that support only one network +port. + +PORT_DOI - This parameter is used to assign a DOI identifier value to a +particular network interface port. All CIPSO labels within datagrams +going out this port MUST use the specified DOI identifier. All CIPSO +hosts and gateways MUST support either this parameter, the NET_DOI +parameter, or the HOST_DOI parameter. + +NET_DOI - This parameter is used to assign a DOI identifier value to a +particular IP network address. All CIPSO labels within datagrams destined +for the particular IP network MUST use the specified DOI identifier. All +CIPSO hosts and gateways MUST support either this parameter, the PORT_DOI +parameter, or the HOST_DOI parameter. + +HOST_DOI - This parameter is used to assign a DOI identifier value to a +particular IP host address. All CIPSO labels within datagrams destined for +the particular IP host will use the specified DOI identifier. All CIPSO +hosts and gateways MUST support either this parameter, the PORT_DOI +parameter, or the NET_DOI parameter. + +This list represents the minimal set of configuration parameters required +to be compliant. Implementors are encouraged to add to this list to +provide enhanced functionality and control. For example, many security +policies may require both incoming and outgoing datagrams be checked against +the port and host label ranges. + + +4.1 Port Range Parameters + +The labels represented by the PORT_LABEL_MAX and PORT_LABEL_MIN parameters +MAY be in CIPSO or local format. Some CIPSO systems, such as routers, may +want to have the range parameters expressed in CIPSO format so that incoming +labels do not have to be converted to a local format before being compared +against the range. If multiple DOIs are supported by one of these CIPSO + + + +Internet Draft, Expires 15 Jan 93 [PAGE 8] + + + +CIPSO INTERNET DRAFT 16 July, 1992 + + + +systems then multiple port range parameters would be needed, one set for +each DOI supported on a particular port. + +The port range will usually represent the total set of labels that may +exist on the logical network accessed through the corresponding network +interface. It may, however, represent a subset of these labels that are +allowed to enter the CIPSO system. + + +4.2 Single Label CIPSO Hosts + +CIPSO implementations that support only one label are not required to +support the parameters described above. These limited implementations are +only required to support a NET_LABEL parameter. This parameter contains +the CIPSO label that may be inserted in datagrams that exit the host. In +addition, the host MUST reject any incoming datagram that has a label which +is not equivalent to the NET_LABEL parameter. + + +5. Handling Procedures + +This section describes the processing requirements for incoming and +outgoing IP datagrams. Just providing the correct CIPSO label format +is not enough. Assumptions will be made by one system on how a +receiving system will handle the CIPSO label. Wrong assumptions may +lead to non-interoperability or even a security incident. The +requirements described below represent the minimal set needed for +interoperability and that provide users some level of confidence. +Many other requirements could be added to increase user confidence, +however at the risk of restricting creativity and limiting vendor +participation. + + +5.1 Input Procedures + +All datagrams received through a network port MUST have a security label +associated with them, either contained in the datagram or assigned to the +receiving port. Without this label the host, gateway, or router will not +have the information it needs to make security decisions. This security +label will be obtained from the CIPSO if the option is present in the +datagram. See section 4.1.2 for handling procedures for unlabeled +datagrams. This label will be compared against the PORT (if appropriate) +and HOST configuration parameters defined in section 3. + +If any field within the CIPSO option, such as the DOI identifier, is not +recognized the IP datagram is discarded and an ICMP "parameter problem" +(type 12) is generated and returned. The ICMP code field is set to "bad +parameter" (code 0) and the pointer is set to the start of the CIPSO field +that is unrecognized. + +If the contents of the CIPSO are valid but the security label is +outside of the configured host or port label range, the datagram is +discarded and an ICMP "destination unreachable" (type 3) is generated +and returned. The code field of the ICMP is set to "communication with +destination network administratively prohibited" (code 9) or to + + + +Internet Draft, Expires 15 Jan 93 [PAGE 9] + + + +CIPSO INTERNET DRAFT 16 July, 1992 + + + +"communication with destination host administratively prohibited" +(code 10). The value of the code field used is dependent upon whether +the originator of the ICMP message is acting as a CIPSO host or a CIPSO +gateway. The recipient of the ICMP message MUST be able to handle either +value.

A CIPSO implementation MAY allow +the system administrator to identify tag types that may safely be +ignored. This capability is an allowable enhancement, not a +requirement. + + +5.1.2 Unlabeled Packets + +A network port may be configured to not require a CIPSO label for all +incoming datagrams. For this configuration a CIPSO label must be +assigned to that network port and associated with all unlabeled IP +datagrams. This capability might be used for single level networks or +networks that have CIPSO and non-CIPSO hosts and the non-CIPSO hosts +all operate at the same label. + +If a CIPSO option is required and none is found, the datagram is +discarded and an ICMP "parameter problem" (type 12) is generated and +returned to the originator of the datagram. The code field of the ICMP +is set to "option missing" (code 1) and the ICMP pointer is set to 134 +(the value of the option type for the missing CIPSO option). + + +5.2 Output Procedures + +A CIPSO option MUST appear only once in a datagram. Only one tag type +from the MAC Sensitivity class MAY be included in a CIPSO option.

If network level DOI assignment is used, then the NET_DOI parameter +MUST contain the DOI identifier to use. And if host level DOI assignment +is employed, then the HOST_DOI parameter MUST contain the DOI identifier +to use. A CIPSO implementation need only support one level of DOI +assignment. + + +5.3 DOI Processing Requirements + +A CIPSO implementation MUST support at least one DOI and SHOULD support +multiple DOIs. System and network administrators are cautioned to +ensure that at least one DOI is common within an IP network to allow for +broadcasting of IP datagrams. + +CIPSO gateways MUST be capable of translating a CIPSO option from one +DOI to another when forwarding datagrams between networks. For +efficiency purposes this capability is only a desired feature for CIPSO +routers. + + +5.4 Label of ICMP Messages + +The CIPSO label to be used on all outgoing ICMP messages MUST be equivalent +to the label of the datagram that caused the ICMP message. If the ICMP was +generated due to a problem associated with the original CIPSO label then the +following responses are allowed: + + a. Use the CIPSO label of the original IP datagram + b. Drop the original datagram with no return message generated + +In most cases these options will have the same effect. If you can not +interpret the label or if it is outside the label range of your host or +interface then an ICMP message with the same label will probably not be +able to exit the system. + + +6.

It +is composed of three main components, the protocol engines, the communication +layer, and the kernel security module API. + + * Protocol Engines + +The protocol engines are responsible for both applying and retrieving the +network packet's security attributes. If any translation between the network +security attributes and those on the host are required then the protocol +engine will handle those tasks as well. Other kernel subsystems should +refrain from calling the protocol engines directly, instead they should use +the NetLabel kernel security module API described below. + +Detailed information about each NetLabel protocol engine can be found in this +directory, consult '00-INDEX' for filenames. + + * Communication Layer + +The communication layer exists to allow NetLabel configuration and monitoring +from user space. The NetLabel communication layer uses a message based +protocol built on top of the Generic NETLINK transport mechanism. The exact +formatting of these NetLabel messages as well as the Generic NETLINK family +names can be found in the the 'net/netlabel/' directory as comments in the +header files as well as in 'include/net/netlabel.h'. + + * Security Module API + +The purpose of the NetLabel security module API is to provide a protocol +independent interface to the underlying NetLabel protocol engines. In addition +to protocol independence, the security module API is designed to be completely +LSM independent which should allow multiple LSMs to leverage the same code +base. + +Detailed information about the NetLabel security module API can be found in the +'include/net/netlabel.h' header file as well as the 'lsm_interface.txt' file +found in this directory. diff --git a/Documentation/netlabel/lsm_interface.txt b/Documentation/netlabel/lsm_interface.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..98dd9f7430f --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/netlabel/lsm_interface.txt @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +NetLabel Linux Security Module Interface +============================================================================== +Paul Moore, paul.moore@hp.com + +May 17, 2006 + + * Overview + +NetLabel is a mechanism which can set and retrieve security attributes from +network packets. It is intended to be used by LSM developers who want to make +use of a common code base for several different packet labeling protocols. +The NetLabel security module API is defined in 'include/net/netlabel.h' but a +brief overview is given below. + + * NetLabel Security Attributes + +Since NetLabel supports multiple different packet labeling protocols and LSMs +it uses the concept of security attributes to refer to the packet's security +labels. The NetLabel security attributes are defined by the +'netlbl_lsm_secattr' structure in the NetLabel header file. Internally the +NetLabel subsystem converts the security attributes to and from the correct +low-level packet label depending on the NetLabel build time and run time +configuration. It is up to the LSM developer to translate the NetLabel +security attributes into whatever security identifiers are in use for their +particular LSM. + + * NetLabel LSM Protocol Operations + +These are the functions which allow the LSM developer to manipulate the labels +on outgoing packets as well as read the labels on incoming packets. Functions +exist to operate both on sockets as well as the sk_buffs directly. These high +level functions are translated into low level protocol operations based on how +the administrator has configured the NetLabel subsystem. + + * NetLabel Label Mapping Cache Operations + +Depending on the exact configuration, translation between the network packet +label and the internal LSM security identifier can be time consuming. The +NetLabel label mapping cache is a caching mechanism which can be used to +sidestep much of this overhead once a mapping has been established. Once the +LSM has received a packet, used NetLabel to decode it's security attributes, +and translated the security attributes into a LSM internal identifier the LSM +can use the NetLabel caching functions to associate the LSM internal +identifier with the network packet's label. This means that in the future +when a incoming packet matches a cached value not only are the internal +NetLabel translation mechanisms bypassed but the LSM translation mechanisms are +bypassed as well which should result in a significant reduction in overhead. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt b/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt index 90ed78110fd..935e298f674 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt +++ b/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt @@ -375,6 +375,41 @@ tcp_slow_start_after_idle - BOOLEAN be timed out after an idle period.
