c8edc80c8b [PATCH] Exclude messages by message type
- Add a new, 5th filter called "exclude".
    - And add a new field AUDIT_MSGTYPE.
    - Define a new function audit_filter_exclude() that takes a message type
      as input and examines all rules in the filter.  It returns '1' if the
      message is to be excluded, and '0' otherwise.
    - Call the audit_filter_exclude() function near the top of
      audit_log_start() just after asserting audit_initialized.  If the
      message type is not to be audited, return NULL very early, before
      doing a lot of work.
[combined with followup fix for bug in original patch, Nov 4, same author]
[combined with later renaming AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE->AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE
and audit_filter_exclude() -> audit_filter_type()]

715b49ef2d [PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

ac4cec443a AUDIT: Stop waiting for backlog after audit_panic() happens
We force a rate-limit on auditable events by making them wait for space 
on the backlog queue. However, if auditd really is AWOL then this could 
potentially bring the entire system to a halt, depending on the audit 
rules in effect.

Firstly, make sure the wait time is honoured correctly -- it's the 
maximum time the process should wait, rather than the time to wait 
_each_ time round the loop. We were getting re-woken _each_ time a 
packet was dequeued, and the timeout was being restarted each time.

Secondly, reset the wait time after audit_panic() is called. In general 
this will be reset to zero, to allow progress to be made. If the system
is configured to _actually_ panic on audit_panic() then that will 
already have happened; otherwise we know that audit records are being 
lost anyway. 

These two tunables can't be exposed via AUDIT_GET and AUDIT_SET because 
those aren't particularly well-designed. It probably should have been 
done by sysctls or sysfs anyway -- one for a later patch.

9ad9ad385b AUDIT: Wait for backlog to clear when generating messages.
Add a gfp_mask to audit_log_start() and audit_log(), to reduce the
amount of GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- most of it doesn't need to be 
GFP_ATOMIC. Also if the mask includes __GFP_WAIT, then wait up to
60 seconds for the auditd backlog to clear instead of immediately 
abandoning the message. 

The timeout should probably be made configurable, but for now it'll 
suffice that it only happens if auditd is actually running.

168b717395 AUDIT: Clean up logging of untrusted strings
* If vsnprintf returns -1, it will mess up the sk buffer space accounting. 
This is fixed by not calling skb_put with bogus len values.

* audit_log_hex was a loop that called audit_log_vformat with %02X for each 
character. This is very inefficient since conversion from unsigned character 
to Ascii representation is essentially masking, shifting, and byte lookups. 
Also, the length of the converted string is well known - it's twice the 
original. Fixed by rewriting the function.

* audit_log_untrustedstring had no comments. This makes it hard for 
someone to understand what the string format will be.

* audit_log_d_path was never fixed to use untrustedstring. This could mess
up user space parsers. This was fixed to make a temp buffer, call d_path, 
and log temp buffer using untrustedstring.

c2f0c7c356 The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon
shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type 
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the 
shutdown. 

It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The 
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing 
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and 
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a 
manageable risk.

The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it 
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. 
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks 
like this:

type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650 
uid=525, auditd pid=1685

2a0a6ebee1 [NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.
Let's recap the problem.  The current asynchronous netlink kernel
message processing is vulnerable to these attacks:

1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits
before they're processed.  This may confuse/disable the next netlink
user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may
receive the responses to the attacker's messages.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.
c) Restrict/prohibit binding.

2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written
to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket,
it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily
long period of time.  If this is successfully exploited it could
also be used to hold rtnl forever.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.

Firstly let's cross off solution c).  It only solves the first
problem and it has user-visible impacts.  In particular, it'll
break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate
with specific netlink addresses (pid's).

So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus
SOCK_STREAM for netlink.

For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as
suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend
my time working on other things.

However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the
stream mode solution:

1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable.

2) Inefficient use of resources.  This is especially true for rtnetlink
since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers.
The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which
causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things.

3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel
netlink receive queue.  The attacker simply fills the receive socket
with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue.  The
attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop.

Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however
it is pretty messy.

In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement
stream mode netlink at some point.  In the mean time, here is a patch
that implements synchronous processing.
