Different from selinux_inet_conn_established(), it also gives the secid to asoc->peer_secid in selinux_sctp_assoc_established(), as one UDP-type socket may have more than one asocs. Note that peer_secid in asoc will save the peer secid for this asoc connection, and peer_sid in sksec will just keep the peer secid for the latest connection. So the right use should be do peeloff for UDP-type socket if there will be multiple asocs in one socket, so that the peeloff socket has the right label for its asoc. v1->v2: - call selinux_inet_conn_established() to reduce some code duplication in selinux_sctp_assoc_established(), as Ondrej suggested. - when doing peeloff, it calls sock_create() where it actually gets secid for socket from socket_sockcreate_sid(). So reuse SECSID_WILD to ensure the peeloff socket keeps using that secid after calling selinux_sctp_sk_clone() for client side.Interesting... I find strange that SCTP creates the peeloff socket using sock_create() rather than allocating it directly via sock_alloc() like the other callers of sctp_copy_sock() (which calls security_sctp_sk_clone()) do. Wouldn't it make more sense to avoid the sock_create() call and just rely on the security_sctp_sk_clone() semantic to set up the labels? Would anything break if sctp_do_peeloff() switched to plain sock_alloc()? I'd rather we avoid this SECSID_WILD hack to support the weird created-but-also-cloned socket hybrid and just make the peeloff socket behave the same as an accept()-ed socket (i.e. no security_socket_[post_]create() hook calls, just security_sctp_sk_clone()).I believe the important part is that sctp_do_peeloff() eventually calls security_sctp_sk_clone() via way of sctp_copy_sock(). Assuming we have security_sctp_sk_clone() working properly I would expect that the new socket would be setup properly when sctp_do_peeloff() returns on success. ... and yes, that SECSID_WILD approach is *not* something we want to do.SECSID_WILD is used to avoid client's new socket's sid overwritten by old socket's.In the case of security_sctp_sk_clone() the new client socket (the cloned socket) should inherit the label/sid from the original socket (the "parent" in the inherit-from-parent label inheritance behavior discussed earlier). The selinux_sctp_assoc_established() function should not change the socket's label/sid at all, only the peer label.quoted
If I understand correctly, new socket's should keep using its original sid, namely, the one set from security_socket_[post_]create() on client side. I AGREE with that. Now I want to *confirm* this with you, as it's different from the last version's 'inherit from parent socket' that Richard and Ondrej reviewed.Unfortunately I think we are struggling to communicate because you are not familiar with SELinux concepts and I'm not as well versed in SCTP as you are. As things currently stand, I am getting a disconnect between your explanations and the code you have submitted; they simply aren't consistent from my perspective. In an effort to help provide something that is hopefully a bit more clear, here are the selinux_sctp_sk_clone() and selinux_sctp_assoc_established() functions which I believe we need. If you feel these are incorrect, please explain and/or provide edits: static void selinux_sctp_sk_clone(struct sctp_association *asoc, struct sock *sk, struct sock *newsk) { struct sk_security_struct *sksec = sk->sk_security; struct sk_security_struct *newsksec = newsk->sk_security; /* If policy does not support SECCLASS_SCTP_SOCKET then call * the non-sctp clone version. */ if (!selinux_policycap_extsockclass()) return selinux_sk_clone_security(sk, newsk); newsksec->secid = sksec->secid; newsksec->peer_sid = asoc->peer_secid; newsksec->sclass = sksec->sclass; selinux_netlbl_sctp_sk_clone(sk, newsk); } static void selinux_sctp_assoc_established(struct sctp_association *asoc, struct sk_buff *skb) { struct sk_security_struct *sksec = asoc->base.sk->sk_security; selinux_inet_conn_established(asoc->base.sk, skb); asoc->peer_secid = sksec->peer_sid; }
This code would be functionally equivalent to the v1 patchset for the client side, but on server side you want to set newsksec->secid to asoc->secid, as this contains the "connection secid" computed by selinux_conn_sid() in selinux_sctp_assoc_request(). This is supposed to mirror what selinux_inet_conn_request() -> selinux_inet_csk_clone() does for non-SCTP sockets. So I think we should rather go back to the v1 patchset variant, where the parent socket's sid is stashed in asoc->secid to be picked up by selinux_sctp_sk_clone(). As for the sctp_do_peeloff-calls-sock_create problem - I was oblivious about the difference between the sock vs. socket structs, so this would be a bit more difficult to fix than replacing one function call. But if we end up just overwriting the label assigned in selinux_socket_post_create() as it is now, then the only difference is an unexpected SCTP_SOCKET__CREATE permission check and a pointless computation of socket_sockcreate_sid(), so it can be addressed separately. I'll try to suggest a patch and then we can discuss whether it makes sense or not. -- Ondrej Mosnacek Software Engineer, Linux Security - SELinux kernel Red Hat, Inc.
