The per-packet access controls work by checking the individual
packet's security label against the corresponding sock label on the
system (sk->sk_security->sid). Because of this it is important that
the sock's label is correct. For unconnected sockets this is fairly
straightforward as it follows the usual inherit-from-parent[1]
behavior we see in other areas of SELinux. For connected stream
sockets this can be a bit more complicated. However, since we are

the LSM/SELinux hook (using selinux_skb_peerlbl_sid()). The
sksec->peer_sid is recorded primarily so that the kernel can correctly
respond to SO_GETPEERSEC requests from userspace; it shouldn't be used
in any access control decisions.
In the case of SCTP, I would expect things to behave similarly: the
sksec->peer_sid should match the packet label of the traffic which
acknowledged/accepted the new connection, e.g. the other end of the
connected socket. You will have to forgive me some of the details,
it's been a while since I last looked at the SCTP bits, but I would

Now I'm thinking: 'peer_sid' should be correct here.
BUT 'sid' is copied from its parent socket. Later when doing peel-off,
asoc->secid will be set back to the peel-off socket's sksec->sid.
Hi,
I'm not sure I follow... When doing peel-off, security_sctp_sk_clone()
should be called, which sets the peel-off socket's sksec->sid to
asoc->secid, not the other way around. (Are we hitting the language
barrier here? :)
Right, sorry.
Set the peel-off socket's sksec->sid to asoc->secid, I meant :D
For the sake of clarity, let's scribble down some pseudo code to
discuss :) Taking into account the feedback above, I arrived at the
code below (corrections are welcome if I misunderstood what you wanted
to convey) with my comments after:
static void selinux_sctp_assoc_established(asoc, skb)
{
struct sock *sk = asoc->base.sk;
struct sk_security_struct *sksec = sk->sk_security;
selinux_inet_conn_established(sk, skb);
asoc->secid = sksec->peer_sid;
asoc->peer_secid = sksec->peer_sid;
}
My only concern with the above code is the 'asoc->secid =
sksec->peer_sid' assignment. As this particular association is a
client side association I would expect it to follow the normal
inherit-from-parent behavior as described above and not take the label
of remote peer, however I could be misunderstanding some of the SCTP
specifics here. My initial reaction is that we need to adjust the
LSM/SELinux hook as well as the call site in sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce() to
pass both 'new_asoc' as well 'asoc' and set 'new_asoc->secid' to
'asoc->secid' to better mirror the existing stream/TCP behavior on the
client side.
Does that make sense? If not, what am I missing :)

Hi, Paul
Understand now, the issue reported seems caused by when
doing peel-off the peel-off socket gets the uninitialised sid
from 'ep' on the client, though it should be "asoc".
Thanks!

sksec->peer_sid should match the packet label of the traffic which
acknowledged/accepted the new connection, e.g. the other end of the

socket the new socket's sksec->peer_sid would have the same property,
it would represent the security label of the other end of the
connection/association.
In SCTP, a socket doesn't represent a peer connection, it's more an
object binding some addresses and receiving incoming connecting
request, then creates 'asoc' to represent the connection, so asoc->
peer_secid represents the security label of the other end of the
connection/association.
After doing peel-off, it makes one asoc 'bind' to one new socket,
and this socket is used for userspace to control this asoc (conection),
so naturally we set sksec->peer_sid to asoc->secid for access control
in socket. As for the 'parent' sk/ep, we can't use it to record
peer_scid, as when there are multiple connections, the later one
will overwrite the older one.
[1] Yes, there is setsockcreatecon(), but that isn't important for
this discussion.

pass both 'new_asoc' as well 'asoc' and set 'new_asoc->secid' to

Sorry, there's something about SCTP that I should've made clear:
sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce() is normally called when no existing asoc
(in most cases) or the existing asoc's state is CLOSE.
#define TYPE_SCTP_COOKIE_ECHO { \
/* SCTP_STATE_CLOSED */ \ <---- (also include asoc is NULL)
TYPE_SCTP_FUNC(sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce), \
and for the existing asoc case, SCTP doesn't use anything from it
for the new asoc, but just ignores it. IF these are conflicts when
inserting transports for the new asoc with the existing asoc,
sctp_process_init() will handle it and return errors.
Just note that the existing asoc is NOT the one created when
processing INIT chunk, and that INIT one is a temporary asoc
and is deleted right after finishing processing INIT.
But if you mean the hooks in sctp_sf_do_5_2_4_dupcook()
where it's processing a duplicate COOKIE_ECHO and copying
things from the existing asoc, maybe it should do such things,
we can make another thread for this corner case.
Does that make sense? If not, what am I missing :)
