From c2f0c7c356dc9ae15419f00c725a2fcc58eeff58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Grubb Date: Fri, 6 May 2005 12:38:39 +0100 Subject: The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the shutdown. It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a manageable risk. The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks like this: type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650 uid=525, auditd pid=1685 Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse --- kernel/auditsc.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel/auditsc.c') diff --git a/kernel/auditsc.c b/kernel/auditsc.c index 37b3ac94bc47..f1bf66510cd3 100644 --- a/kernel/auditsc.c +++ b/kernel/auditsc.c @@ -1056,3 +1056,22 @@ int audit_ipc_perms(unsigned long qbytes, uid_t uid, gid_t gid, mode_t mode) context->aux = (void *)ax; return 0; } + +void audit_signal_info(int sig, struct task_struct *t) +{ + extern pid_t audit_sig_pid; + extern uid_t audit_sig_uid; + extern int audit_pid; + + if (unlikely(audit_pid && t->pid == audit_pid)) { + if (sig == SIGTERM || sig == SIGHUP) { + struct audit_context *ctx = current->audit_context; + audit_sig_pid = current->pid; + if (ctx) + audit_sig_uid = ctx->loginuid; + else + audit_sig_uid = current->uid; + } + } +} + -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
