This patch fixes the detection of the 'open_writers' violation for mmaped
files.
before) an 'open_writers' violation is detected if the policy contains
a rule with the criteria: func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ
after) an 'open_writers' violation is detected if the current event
matches one of the policy rules.
With the old behaviour, the 'open_writers' violation is not detected
in the following case:
policy:
measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC
steps:
1) open a shared library for writing
2) execute a binary that links that shared library
3) during the binary execution, modify the shared library and save
the change
result:
the 'open_writers' violation measurement is not present in the IMA list.
Only binaries executed are protected from writes. For libraries mapped
in memory there is the flag MAP_DENYWRITE for this purpose, but according
to the output of 'man mmap', the mmap flag is ignored.
Since ima_rdwr_violation_check() is now called by process_measurement()
the information about if the inode must be measured is already provided
by ima_get_action(). Thus the unnecessary function ima_must_measure()
has been removed.

This patch fixes a race condition between two functions that try to access
the same inode. Since the i_mutex lock is held and released separately
in the two functions, there may be the possibility that a violation is
not correctly detected.
Suppose there are two processes, A (reader) and B (writer), if the
following sequence happens:
A: ima_rdwr_violation_check()
B: ima_rdwr_violation_check()
B: process_measurement()
B: starts writing the inode
A: process_measurement()
the ToMToU violation (a reader may be accessing a content different from
that measured, due to a concurrent modification by a writer) will not be
detected. To avoid this issue, the violation check and the measurement
must be done atomically.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the violation check inside
process_measurement() when the i_mutex lock is held. Differently from
the old code, the violation check is executed also for the MMAP_CHECK
hook (other than for FILE_CHECK). This allows to detect ToMToU violations
that are possible because shared libraries can be opened for writing
while they are in use (according to the output of 'man mmap', the mmap()
flag MAP_DENYWRITE is ignored).
Changes in v5 (Roberto Sassu):
* get iint if action is not zero
* exit process_measurement() after the violation check if action is zero
* reverse order process_measurement() exit cleanup (Mimi)
Changes in v4 (Dmitry Kasatkin):

(Suggested-by Mimi)
* do not check for violations if the policy does not contain 'measure'
rules (done by Roberto Sassu)
Changes in v3 (Dmitry Kasatkin):
* no violation checking for MMAP_CHECK function in this patch
* remove use of filename from violation
* removes checking if ima is enabled from ima_rdrw_violation_check
* slight style change

ima_init() is used as a single place for all initializations.
Experimental keyring patches used the 'late_initcall' which was
co-located with the late_initcall(init_ima). When the late_initcall
for the keyring initialization was abandoned, initialization moved
to init_ima, though it would be more logical to move it to ima_init,
where the rest of the initialization is done. This patch moves the
keyring initialization to ima_init() as a preparatory step for
loading the keys which will be added to ima_init() in following

Preparse the match data. This provides several advantages:
(1) The preparser can reject invalid criteria up front.
(2) The preparser can convert the criteria to binary data if necessary (the
asymmetric key type really wants to do binary comparison of the key IDs).
(3) The preparser can set the type of search to be performed. This means
that it's not then a one-off setting in the key type.
(4) The preparser can set an appropriate comparator function.

While SELinux largely ignores namespaces, for good reason, there are
some places where it needs to at least be aware of namespaces in order
to function correctly. Network namespaces are one example. Basic
awareness of network namespaces are necessary in order to match a

This patch corrects a problem with network interfaces added to a
non-init namespace, and can be reproduced with the following commands:

In all cases except ima_bprm_check() the filename was not defined
and ima_d_path() was used to find the full path. Unfortunately,
the bprm filename is a relative pathname (eg. ./<dir>/filename).
ima_bprm_check() selects between bprm->interp and bprm->filename.
The following dump demonstrates the differences between using
filename and interp.
bprm->filename
filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /root/bin/foo.sh
filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /bin/dash
bprm->interp
filename: ./foo.sh, pathname: /root/bin/foo.sh
filename: /bin/sh, pathname: /bin/dash
In both cases the pathnames are currently the same. This patch
removes usage of filename and interp in favor of d_absolute_path.

Unless an LSM labels a file during d_instantiate(), newly created
files are not labeled with an initial security.evm xattr, until
the file closes. EVM, before allowing a protected, security xattr
to be written, verifies the existing 'security.evm' value is good.
For newly created files without a security.evm label, this
verification prevents writing any protected, security xattrs,
until the file closes.
Following is the example when this happens:
fd = open("foo", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, 0644);
setxattr("foo", "security.SMACK64", value, sizeof(value), 0);
close(fd);
While INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS status is handled in other places, such
as evm_inode_setattr(), it does not handle it in all cases in
evm_protect_xattr(). By limiting the use of INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS to
newly created files, we can now allow setting "protected" xattrs.

People keep asking me for permissive mode, and I keep saying "no".
Permissive mode is wrong for more reasons than I can enumerate,
but the compelling one is that it's once on, never off.
Nonetheless, there is an argument to be made for running a
process with lots of permissions, logging which are required,
and then locking the process down. There wasn't a way to do
that with Smack, but this provides it.
The notion is that you start out by giving the process an
appropriate Smack label, such as "ATBirds". You create rules
with a wide range of access and the "b" mode. On Tizen it
might be:
ATBirds System rwxalb
ATBirds User rwxalb
ATBirds _ rwxalb
User ATBirds wb
System ATBirds wb
Accesses that fail will generate audit records. Accesses
that succeed because of rules marked with a "b" generate
log messages identifying the rule, the program and as much
object information as is convenient.
When the system is properly configured and the programs
brought in line with the labeling scheme the "b" mode can
be removed from the rules. When the system is ready for
production the facility can be configured out.
This provides the developer the convenience of permissive
mode without creating a system that looks like it is
enforcing a policy while it is not.

Values of extended attributes are stored as binary blobs. NULL-termination

This patch removes terminating zero byte from initial security label in

Zero-length security labels are invalid but kernel should handle them.

And after writing zero-length string into smackfs files syslog and onlycp:

The problem is caused by brain-damaged logic in function smk_parse_smack()
