From: Arjan van de Ven <arjanv@redhat.com> ide-cd: a few 512 byte scratch buffers can be static; they are just for putting "padding" sectors in that aren't used. (acked by Jens)

From: Julie DeWandel <jdewand@redhat.com> A problem exists where a 32-bit application can have a huge bss, one that is so large that an overflow of the TASK_SIZE happens. But in this case, the overflow is not detected in load_elf_binary(). Instead, because arithmetic is being done using 32-bit containers, a truncation occurs and the program gets loaded when it shouldn't have been. Subsequent execution yields unpredictable results. The attached patch fixes this problem by checking for the overflow condition and sending a SIGKILL to the application if the overflow is detected. This problem can in theory exist when loading the elf interpreter as well, so a similar check was added there.

From: Brian Gerst <bgerst@didntduck.org> - Move empty_zero_page and swapper_pg_dir to BSS. This requires that BSS is cleared earlier, but reclaims over 3k that was lost due to page alignment. - Move stack_start, ready, and int_msg, boot_gdt_descr, idt_descr, and cpu_gdt_descr to .data. They were interfering with disassembly while in .text.

unmap_vmas() will cause scheduling latency when tearing down really big vmas on !CONFIG_PREEMPT. That's a bit unkind to the non-preempt case, so let's do a cond_resched() after zapping 1024 pages.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch drops the ratelimit code from the SELinux avc, as this can now be handled by the audit framework. Enabling and setting the ratelimit is then left to userspace.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch changes an error message printk'd by security_compute_sid to use the audit framework instead. These errors reflect situations where a security transition would normally occur due to policy, but the resulting security context is not valid. The patch also changes the code to always call the audit framework rather than only doing so when permissive as this was causing problems with testing policy, and does some code cleanup.

From: Rik Faith <faith@redhat.com> This patch provides a low-overhead system-call auditing framework for Linux that is usable by LSM components (e.g., SELinux). This is an update of the patch discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107815888100001&r=1&w=2 In brief, it provides for netlink-based logging of audit records that have been generated in other parts of the kernel (e.g., SELinux) as well as the ability to audit system calls, either independently (using simple filtering) or as a compliment to the audit record that another part of the kernel generated. The main goals were to provide system call auditing with 1) as low overhead as possible, and 2) without duplicating functionality that is already provided by SELinux (and/or other security infrastructures). This framework will work "stand-alone", but is not designed to provide, e.g., CAPP functionality without another security component in place. This updated patch includes changes from feedback I have received, including the ability to compile without CONFIG_NET (and better use of tabs, so use -w if you diff against the older patch). Please see http://people.redhat.com/faith/audit/ for an early example user-space client (auditd-0.4.tar.gz) and instructions on how to try it. My future intentions at the kernel level include improving filtering (e.g., syscall personality/exit codes) and syscall support for more architectures. First, though, I'm going to work on documentation, a (real) audit daemon, and patches for other user-space tools so that people can play with the framework and understand how it can be used with and without SELinux. Update: Light-weight Auditing Framework receive filter fixes From: Rik Faith <faith@redhat.com> Since audit_receive_filter() is only called with audit_netlink_sem held, it cannot race with either audit_del_rule() or audit_add_rule(), so the list_for_each_entry_rcu()s may be replaced by list_for_each_entry()s, and the rcu_read_{un,}lock()s removed. A fix for this is part of the attached patch. Other features of the attached patch are: 1) generalized the ability to test for inequality 2) added syscall exit status reporting and testing 3) added ability to report and test first 4 syscall arguments (this adds a large amount of flexibility for little cost; not implemented or tested on ppc64) 4) added ability to report and test personality User-space demo program enhanced for new fields and inequality testing: http://people.redhat.com/faith/audit/auditd-0.5.tar.gz

This patch removes a harmless duplicate assignment from the IPv6 code.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> The patch below adds explicit IPv6 support to SELinux. Brief description of changes: o IPv6 networking is now subject to the same controls as IPv4 (in addition to the generic socket permissions which cover all protocols), namely: bind to local node address; bind to local port; send & receive TCP/UDP and raw IP packets based on local network interface and remote node address. o Packet parsing has been extended to IPv6 packets for logging and control, and simplified for IPv4. o Support for logging of IPv6 addresses has also been added. o The kernel policy database code has been modified to support IPv6, and reworked to provide generic security policy version handling so that older policy versions will still work, making upgrading simpler. Corresponding userspace patches are available at <http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/ipv6/>, although current userspace tools will continue to function normally (but without explicit IPv6 support). For more details at the security management level, see <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=108068187630948&w=2> This code has been under testing and review for several weeks.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> Fix reiserfs_writepage so it doesn't race with data=ordered writes. This still has a pending fix to redirty the page when it finds a locked buffer. Waiting for Andrew to finish sorting that out on ext3 first.

Andrew Morton authored
From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> Repacking a tail might leave a journal handle attached to an unmapped buffer. If that buffer gets dirtied again (via mmap for example), the reiserfs data=ordered code might try to write the dirty unmapped buffer to disk. The fix is to make sure we remove the journal handle when we unmap buffers.

ext3 transaction batching has been ineffective since the scheduler changes forced us to replace the yield() with a schedule(). Using schedule_timeout(1) fixes it up again. Benchmarking is positive with wither a 1 or 10 millisecond delay in there, so there appears to be no need to play around with HZ.

From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de> A patch to parse the elf binaries for a PT_GNU_STACK section to set the stack non-executable if possible. Most parts have been shamelessly stolen from Ingo Molnar's more ambitious stackshield http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.6.4-C9 The toolchain has meanwhile support for marking the binaries with a PT_GNU_STACK section wwithout x bit as needed. If no such section is found, we leave the stack to whatever the arch defaults to. If there is one, we explicitly disabled the VM_EXEC bit if no x bit is found, otherwise explicitly enable.
