+Policy Statements +================== +The following class and permissions to support SCTP are available within the +kernel: + class sctp_socket inherits socket { node_bind } + +whenever the following policy capability is enabled: + policycap extended_socket_class; + +The SELinux SCTP support adds the additional permissions that are explained +in the sections below: + association bindx connectxIs the distinction between bind and bindx significant? The same question applies to connect/connectx. I think we can probably just reuse bind and connect in these cases.This has been discussed before with Marcelo and keeping bindx/connectx is a useful distinction.My apologies, I must have forgotten/missed that discussion. Do you have an archive pointer?No this was off list, however I've copied the relevant bits:quoted
SCTP Socket Option Permissions =============================== Permissions that are validated on setsockopt(2) calls (note that the sctp_socket SETOPT permission must be allowed): This option requires the BINDX_ADDR permission: SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_REM - Remove additional bind address.Can't see an usage for this one.quoted
These options require the SET_PARAMS permission: SCTP_PEER_ADDR_PARAMS - Set heartbeats and address max retransmissions. SCTP_PEER_ADDR_THLDS - Set thresholds. SCTP_ASSOCINFO - Set association / endpoint parameters.Also for these, considering we are not willing to go as deep as to only allow these if within a given threshold. But still even then, sounds like too much.quoted
SCTP Bind, Connect and ASCONF Chunk Parameter Permission Checks ============================================================== The hook security_sctp_addr_list() is called by SCTP when processing various options (@optname) to check permissions required for the list of ipv4/ipv6 addresses (@address) as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------- -----quoted
sctp_socket BIND type permission checks | (The socket must also have the BIND permission) | @optname | Permission | @address | --------------------------|-------------|-------------------- -----| SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD |BINDX_ADDRS |One or more ipv4/ipv6 adr|This one can be useful, for that privilege-dropping case. Paul note: I later changed BINDX_ADDRS to just BINDXquoted
quoted
SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR |SET_PRI_ADDR |Single ipv4 or ipv6 adr | SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR|SET_PEER_ADDR|Single ipv4 or ipv6 adr |But these, can't use an use-case.quoted
--------------------------------------------------------------- ----- --------------------------------------------------------------- -----quoted
sctp_socket CONNECT type permission checks | (The socket must also have the CONNECT permission) | @optname | Permission | @address | --------------------------|-------------|-------------------- -----| SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX |CONNECTX |One or more ipv4/ipv6 adr| SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP |BINDX_ADDRS |One or more ipv4/ipv6 adr|The 2 above, can be useful.quoted
quoted
SCTP_PARAM_DEL_IP |BINDX_ADDRS |One or more ipv4/ipv6 adr| SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY |SET_PRI_ADDR |Single ipv4 or ipv6 adr |But not these two..quoted
--------------------------------------------------------------- ----- SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD - Allows additional bind addresses to be associated after (optionally) calling bind(3). sctp_bindx(3) adds a set of bind addresses on a socket. SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX - Allows the allocation of multiple addresses for reaching a peer (multi-homed). sctp_connectx(3) initiates a connection on an SCTP socket using multiple destination addresses. SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR - Set local primary address. SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR - Request peer sets address as association primary.No and no for the 2 above.I still don't undetstand how, from a security perspective, sctp_socket:bindx is different from sctp_socket:bind. I understand the distinction is important from a SCTP perspective, but from a SELinux perspective isn't sctp_socket:bindx simply sctp_socket:bind? How is bindx different from bind? The same applies for connect/connectx.
Okay I'll remove the bindx and connectx permissions.

+SCTP Peer Labeling +=================== +An SCTP socket will only have one peer label assigned to it. This will be +assigned during the establishment of the first association. Once the peer +label has been assigned, any new associations will have the "association" +permission validated by checking the socket peer sid against the received +packets peer sid to determine whether the association should be allowed or +denied. + +NOTES: + 1) If peer labeling is not enabled, then the peer context will always be + SECINITSID_UNLABELED (unlabeled_t in Reference Policy). + + 2) As SCTP supports multiple endpoints with multi- homing on a single socket + it is recommended that peer labels are consistent.My apologies if I'm confused, but I thought it was multiple associations per-endpoint, with the associations providing the multi-homing functionality, no?I've reworded to: As SCTP can support more than one transport address per endpoint (multi-homing) on a single socket, it is possible to configure policy and NetLabel to provide different peer labels for each of these. As the socket peer label is determined by the first associations transport address, it is recommended that all peer labels are consistent.I'm still not sure this makes complete sense to me, but since I'm still not 100% confident in my understanding of SCTP I'm willing to punt on this for the moment.I would like you to be happy with this so I've added what I think is some clarification. The code that handles this is the selinux_sctp_assoc_request() in hooks.c. If not the first association, then the other association peer SIDs are validated to enforce consistency among the peer SIDs. However what I recommend is that all peer labels should be the same. For example: Don't configure this (although valid): netlabelctl unlbl add interface:lo address:127.0.0.0/8 \ label:system_u:object_r:netlabel_peer_lo_t:s0 netlabelctl unlbl add interface:wlp12s0 address:192.168.1.0/24 \ label:system_u:object_r:netlabel_peer_wlan_t:s0 netlabelctl unlbl add interface:enp9s0 address:193.168.1.0/24 \ label:system_u:object_r:netlabel_peer_eth_t:s0 As this is recommended: netlabelctl unlbl add interface:lo address:127.0.0.0/8 \ label:system_u:object_r:netlabel_peer_t:s0 netlabelctl unlbl add interface:wlp12s0 address:192.168.1.0/24 \ label:system_u:object_r:netlabel_peer_t:s0 netlabelctl unlbl add interface:enp9s0 address:193.168.1.0/24 \ label:system_u:object_r:netlabel_peer_t:s0 Would you prefer me to delete this section ?Okay, I think I'm getting a better idea of this ... let me walk through some of this, slowly. On the send/egress side of things we don't really need to worry about the remote peer label as we only do access control checks using the sender's label (the local process/socket). There is a slight exception with respect to forwarded traffic, but I think we handle that correctly for SCTP by substituting the traffic's label for the local process/socket label (current behavior). On the receive/ingress side we could receive traffic from any of the associations, with the peer:recv permission checking the remote peer label (aka the sending association's label) against the local receiving socket. This seems right to me. As far as userspace is concerned, *_getpeersec_dgram() should work correctly,
I did get this working at one point as that's how I discovered IPv6 was not working, hence https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-kernel/iss ues/24
but *_getpeersec_stream() will only return the peer label we stored during the initial association setup, yes?
Correct - Using this seemed reasonable as SCTP is 'connection orientated'
This seems ... not the best. Although I'm not sure how to solve this.
I had thought of taking the initial associations peer label TE component (as now) and then setting the MLS component to that of the process as this reflects what the service can handle when using MLS/CIPSO/CALIPSO. Using the SCTP selinux-testsuite for example: Server process with CIPSO enabled using SOCK_SEQPACKET: unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_sctp_server_t:s0:c714,c769,c782,c788,c80 3,c842,c864 First client process MLS component: s0:c769,c788,c803 requests an association that sets the servers peer context as: system_u:object_r:netlabel_peer_t:s0:c769,c788,c803 However as packets are accepted by the server as per peer:recv permission checking, then client 2 with an MLS component of s0:c782,c714,c842,c864 would also be able to request an association/send data. Therefore in these situations having the MLS component as part of the peer contexts seems best. RFC 5570 (CALIPSO - 7.3.3. SCTP-Related Issues) has words of wisdom that I think I follow regarding this type of scenario !!!
Is this why the requirement exists for each association to have an equivalent label?
Yes I thought it was best to make this statement as it makes life
easier. I could also force this by accepting the first association (and
maybe set the MLS component as above), then do something like this in
selinux_sctp_assoc_request():
} else if (sksec->peer_sid != peer_sid) {
/* All associations MUST have the same peer label. */
char *ctx1 = NULL, *ctx2 = NULL;
u32 len;
security_sid_to_context(peer_sid, &ctx1, &len);
security_sid_to_context(sksec->peer_sid, &ctx2, &len);
pr_err("%s: Invalid association peer context=%s
current=%s\n",
__func__, ctx1, ctx2);
kfree(ctx1);
kfree(ctx2);
err = -EINVAL;
}
