From b50eba7e2d534762a19a7207dda012f09302a8d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Guy Briggs Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2013 18:20:42 -0400 Subject: audit: format user messages to size of MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH Messages of type AUDIT_USER_TTY were being formatted to 1024 octets, truncating messages approaching MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH (8970 octets). Set the formatting to 8560 characters, given maximum estimates for prefix and suffix budgets. See the problem discussion: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2009-January/msg00030.html And the new size rationale: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-September/msg00016.html Test ~8k messages with: auditctl -m "$(for i in $(seq -w 001 820);do echo -n "${i}0______";done)" Reported-by: LC Bruzenak Reported-by: Justin Stephenson Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs Signed-off-by: Eric Paris --- include/uapi/linux/audit.h | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/uapi/linux/audit.h') diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/audit.h b/include/uapi/linux/audit.h index 75cef3fd97ad..5dfcd85037e2 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/audit.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/audit.h @@ -358,6 +358,12 @@ enum { #define AUDIT_PERM_READ 4 #define AUDIT_PERM_ATTR 8 +/* MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH is set in audit:lib/libaudit.h as: + * 8970 // PATH_MAX*2+CONTEXT_SIZE*2+11+256+1 + * max header+body+tailer: 44 + 29 + 32 + 262 + 7 + pad + */ +#define AUDIT_MESSAGE_TEXT_MAX 8560 + struct audit_status { __u32 mask; /* Bit mask for valid entries */ __u32 enabled; /* 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled */ -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
