      [PATCH] Fix IA64 success/failure indication in syscall auditing. · ee436dc4
      David Woodhouse authored
      Original 2.6.9 patch and explanation from somewhere within HP via
      bugzilla...
      
      ia64 stores a success/failure code in r10, and the return value (normal
      return, or *positive* errno) in r8. The patch also sets the exit code to
      negative errno if it's a failure result for consistency with other
      architectures.

      [PATCH] Miscellaneous bug and warning fixes · 7306a0b9
      Dustin Kirkland authored
      This patch fixes a couple of bugs revealed in new features recently
      added to -mm1:
      * fixes warnings due to inconsistent use of const struct inode *inode
      * fixes bug that prevent a kernel from booting with audit on, and SELinux off
        due to a missing function in security/dummy.c
      * fixes a bug that throws spurious audit_panic() messages due to a missing
        return just before an error_path label
      * some reasonable house cleaning in audit_ipc_context(),
        audit_inode_context(), and audit_log_task_context()

      [PATCH] Capture selinux subject/object context information. · 8c8570fb
      Dustin Kirkland authored
      This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context
      information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and
      tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the
      item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver
      of an action.
      
      These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the
      appropriate record in the audit code.
      
      This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled
      Security Protection Profile (LSPP).

      [PATCH] Exclude messages by message type · c8edc80c
      Dustin Kirkland authored
          - 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]

      [PATCH] Collect more inode information during syscall processing. · 73241ccc
      Amy Griffis authored
      This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall
      processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided
      by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4.
      
      Specifically, it:
      
      - Collects information for target inodes created or removed during
        syscalls.  Previous code only collects information for the target
        inode's parent.
      
      - Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file
        descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for
        these calls.
      
      - Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode #
        or a parent inode # matching a given rule.
      
      - Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child.
      
      - Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

      [PATCH] Filter rule comparators · b63862f4
      Dustin Kirkland authored
      Currently, audit only supports the "=" and "!=" operators in the -F
      filter rules.
      
      This patch reworks the support for "=" and "!=", and adds support
      for ">", ">=", "<", and "<=".
      
      This turned out to be a pretty clean, and simply process.  I ended up
      using the high order bits of the "field", as suggested by Steve and Amy.
      This allowed for no changes whatsoever to the netlink communications.
      See the documentation within the patch in the include/linux/audit.h
      area, where there is a table that explains the reasoning of the bitmask
      assignments clearly.
      
      The patch adds a new function, audit_comparator(left, op, right).
      This function will perform the specified comparison (op, which defaults
      to "==" for backward compatibility) between two values (left and right).
      If the negate bit is on, it will negate whatever that result was.  This
      value is returned.

      [PATCH] make vm86 call audit_syscall_exit · 7e7f8a03
      Jason Baron authored
      hi,
      
      The motivation behind the patch below was to address messages in
      /var/log/messages such as:
      
      Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=252 name_count=0: freeing
      multiple contexts (1)
      Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=113 name_count=0: freeing
      multiple contexts (2)
      
      I can reproduce by running 'get-edid' from:
      http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/.
      
      These messages come about in the log b/c the vm86 calls do not exit via
      the normal system call exit paths and thus do not call
      'audit_syscall_exit'. The next system call will then free the context for
      itself and for the vm86 context, thus generating the above messages. This
      patch addresses the issue by simply adding a call to 'audit_syscall_exit'
      from the vm86 code.
      
      Besides fixing the above error messages the patch also now allows vm86
      system calls to become auditable. This is useful since strace does not
      appear to properly record the return values from sys_vm86.
      
      I think this patch is also a step in the right direction in terms of
      cleaning up some core auditing code. If we can correct any other paths
      that do not properly call the audit exit and entries points, then we can
      also eliminate the notion of context chaining.
      
      I've tested this patch by verifying that the log messages no longer
      appear, and that the audit records for sys_vm86 appear to be correct.
      Also, 'read_edid' produces itentical output.
      
      thanks,
      
      -Jason

      [TG3]: 40-bit DMA workaround part 2 · 4a29cc2e
      Michael Chan authored
      The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
      5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
      behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.
      
      For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
      the 5714.
      
      All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.
      
      Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing
      the patch.

      [AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole. · c7c694d1
      Ralf Baechle DL5RB authored
      If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
      (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
      through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
      other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.
      
      Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
      AX.25 dialects.
      
      The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
      unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.
