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.
Hm... this sounds like something we should also try to fix (if
possible). In access control we can't trust userspace to do the right
thing - receiving from multiple peers on one SOCK_SEQPACKET socket
shouldn't cause checking against the wrong peer_sid. But that can be
addressed separately. (And maybe it's even already accounted for
somehow - I didn't yet look at the code closely.)
There are a couple of things we need to worry about here: the
per-packet access controls (e.g. can this packet be received by this
socket?) and the userspace peer label queries (e.g. SO_GETPEERSEC and
IP_CMSG_PASSSEC).

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
only discussing the client side things aren't too bad with the
behavior essentially the same, inherit-from-parent, with the only
interesting piece worth noting being the sksec->peer_sid
(sk->sk_security->peer_sid) that we record from the packet passed to
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
expect that if a client created a new connection and/or spun-off a new
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.

[1] Yes, there is setsockcreatecon(), but that isn't important for
this discussion.

You could replace the above with
`selinux_inet_conn_established(asoc->base.sk, skb);` to reduce code
duplication.
Hi Ondrej,

will do, thanks!

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 :)
