These and similar errors were seen on a patched 3.8 kernel when the audit subsystem was overrun during boot: udevd[876]: worker [887] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100 udevd[876]: worker [887] failed while handling '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:40:00.0' udevd[876]: worker [880] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100 udevd[876]: worker [880] failed while handling '/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input1/event1' udevadm settle - timeout of 180 seconds reached, the event queue contains: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input1/event1 (3995) /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/INT3F0D:00 (4034) audit: audit_backlog=258 > audit_backlog_limit=256 audit: audit_lost=1 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=256 The change below increases the efficiency of the audit code and prevents it from being overrun: Use add_wait_queue_exclusive() in wait_for_auditd() to put the thread on the wait queue. When kauditd dequeues an skb, all of the waiting threads are waiting for the same resource, but only one is going to get it, so there's no need to wake up more than one waiter.

Otherwise, threads waiting in wait_for_auditd() will simply wake up, discover that the queue is still too long for them to proceed, and go back to sleep. This results in wasted context switches and machine cycles. kauditd_thread() is the only function that removes buffers from audit_skb_queue so we can't race. If we did, the timeout in wait_for_auditd() would expire and the waiting thread would continue. See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/2/479Signed-off-by: -

When the audit queue overflows and times out (audit_backlog_wait_time), the audit queue overflow timeout is set to zero. Once the audit queue overflow timeout condition recovers, the timeout should be reset to the original value.

Normally, netlink ports use the PID of the userspace process as the port ID. If the PID is already in use by a port, the kernel will allocate another port ID to avoid conflict. Re-name all references to netlink ports from pid to portid to reflect this reality and avoid confusion with actual PIDs. Ports use the __u32 type, so re-type all portids accordingly. (This patch is very similar to ebiederman's 5deadd69) Signed-off-by:

sfr pointed out that with CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS set the audit tree would not build. This is because the oldsessionid in audit_set_loginuid() was accidentally being declared as a kuid_t. This patch fixes that declaration mistake. Example of problem: kernel/auditsc.c: In function 'audit_set_loginuid': kernel/auditsc.c:2003:15: error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'kuid_t' from type 'int' oldsessionid = audit_get_sessionid(current); Reported-by:

Move the audit_bprm() call from search_binary_handler() to exec_binprm(). This allows us to get rid of the mm member of struct audit_aux_data_execve since bprm->mm will equal current->mm. This also mitigates the issue that ->argc could be modified by the load_binary() call in search_binary_handler(). audit_bprm() was being called to add an AUDIT_EXECVE record to the audit context every time search_binary_handler() was recursively called. Only one reference is necessary. Reported-by:

commit ab61d38e tried to merge the invalid filter checking into a single function. However AUDIT_INODE filters were not verified in the new generic checker. Thus such rules were being denied even though they were perfectly valid. Ex: $ auditctl -a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S open -F key=/foo -F inode=6955 -F devmajor=9 -F devminor=1 Error sending add rule data request (Invalid argument) Signed-off-by:

...to make it clear what the intent behind each record's operation was. In many cases you can infer this, based on the context of the syscall and the result. In other cases it's not so obvious. For instance, in the case where you have a file being renamed over another, you'll have two different records with the same filename but different inode info. By logging this information we can clearly tell which one was created and which was deleted. This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708. Commit 79f6530c should also be backported to stable v3.7+.

Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named "new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"): type=PATH msg=audit(1366128956.279:965): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new" inode=2138308 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023 This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it look more like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1366128765.989:13875): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.DJ1O8V3e4f/" inode=141 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023 While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we have no record of the filename that the user tried to create. This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record will be updated with the correct inode info from the create. This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708.

Using the nlmsg_len member of the netlink header to test if the message is valid is wrong as it includes the size of the netlink header itself. Thereby allowing to send short netlink messages that pass those checks. Use nlmsg_len() instead to test for the right message length. The result of nlmsg_len() is guaranteed to be non-negative as the netlink message already passed the checks of nlmsg_ok(). Also switch to min_t() to please checkpatch.pl.

This adds a new 'audit_feature' bit which allows userspace to set it such that the loginuid is absolutely immutable, even if you have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. Signed-off-by:
-
Eric Paris authored
This is a new audit feature which only grants processes with CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL the ability to unset their loginuid. They cannot directly set it from a valid uid to another valid uid. The ability to unset the loginuid is nice because a priviledged task, like that of container creation, can unset the loginuid and then priv is not needed inside the container when a login daemon needs to set the loginuid. Signed-off-by:
-
Eric Paris authored
If a task has CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL allow that task to unset their loginuid. This would allow a child of that task to set their loginuid without CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. Thus when launching a new login daemon, a priviledged helper would be able to unset the loginuid and then the daemon, which may be malicious user facing, do not need priv to function correctly.

Eric Paris authored
After trying to use this feature in Fedora we found the hard coding policy like this into the kernel was a bad idea. Surprise surprise. We ran into these problems because it was impossible to launch a container as a logged in user and run a login daemon inside that container. This reverts back to the old behavior before this option was added. The option will be re-added in a userspace selectable manor such that userspace can choose when it is and when it is not appropriate. Signed-off-by:

This is just a code rework. It makes things more readable. It does not make any functional changes. It does change the log messages to include both the old session id as well the new and it includes a new res field, which means we get messages even when the user did not have permission to change the loginuid.

The audit_status structure was not designed with extensibility in mind. Define a new AUDIT_SET_FEATURE message type which takes a new structure of bits where things can be enabled/disabled/locked one at a time. This structure should be able to grow in the future while maintaining forward and backward compatibility (based loosly on the ideas from capabilities and prctl) This does not actually add any features, but is just infrastructure to allow new on/off types of audit system features.

When the audit=1 kernel parameter is absent and auditd is not running, AUDIT_USER_AVC messages are being silently discarded. AUDIT_USER_AVC messages should be sent to userspace using printk(), as mentioned in the commit message of 4a4cd633 ("AUDIT: Optimise the audit-disabled case for discarding user messages"). When audit_enabled is 0, audit_receive_msg() discards all user messages except for AUDIT_USER_AVC messages. However, audit_log_common_recv_msg() refuses to allocate an audit_buffer if audit_enabled is 0. The fix is to special case AUDIT_USER_AVC messages in both functions. It looks like commit 50397bd1 ("[AUDIT] clean up audit_receive_msg()") introduced this bug. Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # v2.6.25+ Signed-off-by:

If audit_filter_task() nacks the new thread it makes sense to clear TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT which can be copied from parent by dup_task_struct(). A wrong TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is not really bad but it triggers the "slow" audit paths in entry.S to ensure the task can not miss audit_syscall_*() calls, this is pointless if the task has no ->audit_context.
