2008-04-19Security: Introduce security= boot parameterAhmed S. Darwish
Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module. User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen. LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux and SMACK to do so. Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.

2008-04-18SELinux: Add network port SID cachePaul Moore
Much like we added a network node cache, this patch adds a network port cache. The design is taken almost completely from the network node cache which in turn was taken from the network interface cache. The basic idea is to cache entries in a hash table based on protocol/port information. The hash function only takes the port number into account since the number of different protocols in use at any one time is expected to be relatively small.

2008-04-18SELinux: create new open permissionEric Paris
Adds a new open permission inside SELinux when 'opening' a file. The idea is that opening a file and reading/writing to that file are not the same thing. Its different if a program had its stdout redirected to /tmp/output than if the program tried to directly open /tmp/output. This should allow policy writers to more liberally give read/write permissions across the policy while still blocking many design and programing flaws SELinux is so good at catching today.

2008-03-20file capabilities: remove cap_task_kill()Serge Hallyn
The original justification for cap_task_kill() was as follows: check_kill_permission() does appropriate uid equivalence checks. However with file capabilities it becomes possible for an unprivileged user to execute a file with file capabilities resulting in a more privileged task with the same uid. However now that cap_task_kill() always returns 0 (permission granted) when p->uid==current->uid, the whole hook is worthless, and only likely to create more subtle problems in the corner cases where it might still be called but return -EPERM. Those cases are basically when uids are different but euid/suid is equivalent as per the check in check_kill_permission(). One example of a still-broken application is 'at' for non-root users.

Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.

2008-02-19Smack: unlabeled outgoing ambient packetsCasey Schaufler
Smack uses CIPSO labeling, but allows for unlabeled packets by specifying an "ambient" label that is applied to incoming unlabeled packets. Because the other end of the connection may dislike IP options, and ssh is one know application that behaves thus, it is prudent to respond in kind. This patch changes the network labeling behavior such that an outgoing packet that would be given a CIPSO label that matches the ambient label is left unlabeled. An "unlbl" domain is added and the netlabel defaulting mechanism invoked rather than assuming that everything is CIPSO. Locking has been added around changes to the ambient label as the mechanisms used to do so are more involved.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

2008-02-13Smack: check for 'struct socket' with NULL skAhmed S. Darwish
There's a small problem with smack and NFS. A similar report was also sent here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/27/85 I've also added similar checks in inode_{get/set}security(). Cheating from SELinux post_create_socket(), it does the same. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove uneeded BUG_ON()] Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
