Some programs, like passwd, need to do simeple one time access checks.
Rather than set up a full avc cache and use that infrastructure they
were directly using security_compute_av. A problem with this approach
is the lack of audit on denials. This patch creates a new interface
that is simple to use and which will still listen to things like
permissive and output audit messages on denials.

Handle situation where selinux=0 passed to the kernel and both /selinux and
/sys/fs/selinux directories do not exist. We used to handle selinux=0
(or kernel compile without selinux) by getting ENODEV when we tried to
mount selinuxfs on /selinux. Now selinux=0 means that /sys/fs/selinux
won't exist and we never create the real directory /selinux at all. So
we get ENOENT instead of ENODEV. The solution is to check to see if the
mount failure was for ENODEV and if not to check if selinuxfs exists in
/proc/filesystems at all. If it doesn't exist, that's equivalent to
ENODEV.

Please find another libselinux patch. I've tested quite extensively with the compute_av and string functions with and without mapping and seems okay.
The patch covers:
When selinux_set_mapping(3) is used to set the class and permissions allowed by an object manager, then an invalid class and/or permissions are selected (e.g. using security_class_to_string), then mapping.c in libselinux forces an assert. This patch removes the asserts and allows the functions to return a class/perm of 0 (unknown) with errno set to EINVAL. A minor patch to set EINVAL in security_av_perm_to_string_compat is also included. All the functions to convert perms & classes to strings and back should now return the correct errno with or without mapping enabled.

matchpathcon cannot handle ./ or ../ in pathnames and doesn't do well
with symlinks. This patch uses the glibc function realpath() to try to
determine a real path with resolved symlinks and dot directories. For
example before this pach we would see:
$ matchpathcon /tmp/../eric
/tmp/../eric <<none>>
$ matchpathcon /eric
/eric system_u:object_r:default_t:s0
Whereas after the path we get the same results. The one quirk with the
patch is that we need special code to make sure that realpath() does not
follow a symlink if it is the final component. aka if we have a symlink
from /eric to /tmp/eric we do not want to resolv to /tmp/eric. We want
to just resolv to the actual symlink /eric.

The Fedora Distribution is looking to standardize kernel subsystem file
systems to be mounted under /sys/fs. They would like us to move /selinux
to /sys/fs/selinux. This patch changes libselinux in the following
ways:
1. load_policy will first check if /sys/fs/selinux exists and mount the
selinuxfs at this location, if it does not exists it will fall back to
mounting the file system at /selinux (if it exists).
2. The init functions of selinux will now check if /sys/fs/selinux is
mounted, if it is and has an SELinuxfs mounted on it, the code will then
check if the selinuxfs is mounted rw, if it is, libselinux will set the
mountpoint, if it is readonly, libselinux will return no mountpoint. If
/sys/fs/selinux does not exists, the same check will be done for
/selinux and finally for an entry in /proc/mounts.
NOTE: We added the check for RO, to allow tools like mock to be able to
tell a chroot that SELinux is disabled while enforcing it outside the
chroot.
$ getenforce
Enabled
$ mount --bind /selinux /var/chroot/selinux
$ mount -o remount,ro /var/chroot/selinux
$ chroot /var/chroot
$ getenforce

3. In order to make this work, I needed to stop enabled from checking if
/proc/filesystem for entries if selinux_mnt did not exist. Now enabeled
checks if selinux_mnt has been discovered otherwise it will report
selinux disabled.

If you fail to load_policy in the init or SELinux is disabled, you need
to free the selinux_mnt variable and clear the memory.
systemd was calling load_polcy on a DISABLED system then later on it
would call is_selinux_enabled() and get incorrect response, since
selinux_mnt still had valid data.
The second bug in libselinux, resolves around calling the
selinux_key_delete(destructor_key) if the selinux_key_create call had
never been called. This was causing data to be freed in other
applications that loaded an unloaded the libselinux library but never

Description of problem:
Use of __thread variables is great for creating a thread-safe variable, but
only insofar as the contents of that variable can safely be abandoned on
pthread_exit(). The moment you store malloc()d data into a __thread void*
variable, you have leaked memory when the thread exits, since there is no way
to associate a destructor with __thread variables.
The _only_ safe way to use thread-local caching of malloc()d data is to use
pthread_key_create, and associate a destructor that will call free() on the
resulting data when the thread exits.
libselinux is guilty of abusing __thread variables to store malloc()d data as a
form of a cache, to minimize computation by reusing earlier results from the
same thread. As a result of this memory leak, repeated starting and stopping
of domains via libvirt can result in the OOM killer triggering, since libvirt
fires up a thread per domain, and each thread uses selinux calls such as
fgetfilecon.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libselinux-2.0.94-2.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
0. These steps are run as root, assuming hardware kvm support and existence of
a VM named fedora (adjust the steps below as appropriate); if desired, I can
reduce this to a simpler test case that does not rely on libvirt, by using a
single .c file that links against libselinux and repeatedly spawns threads.
1. service libvirtd stop
2. valgrind --quiet --leak-check=full /usr/sbin/libvirtd& pid=$!
3. virsh start fedora
4. kill $pid
Actual results:
The biggest leak reported is due to libselinux' abuse of __thread:
==26696== 829,730 (40 direct, 829,690 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are
definitely lost in loss record 500 of 500

==26696==
Basically, libvirt created a thread that used matchpathcon during 'virsh start
fedora', and matchpathcon stuffed over 800k of malloc'd data into:
static __thread char **con_array;
which are then inaccessible when libvirt exits the thread as part of shutting
down on SIGTERM.
Expected results:
valgrind should not report any memory leaks related to libselinux.

At first, I tried to add const qualifiers read-only security_context_t
pointers, but didn't replace them by char */const char * yet, right now.
BTW, I could find out the following code:
int security_compute_create(security_context_t scon,
security_context_t tcon,
security_class_t tclass,
security_context_t * newcon)
{
int ret;
security_context_t rscon = scon;
security_context_t rtcon = tcon;
security_context_t rnewcon;
if (selinux_trans_to_raw_context(scon, &rscon))
return -1;
if (selinux_trans_to_raw_context(tcon, &rtcon)) {
freecon(rscon);
return -1;
}
:
In this case, scon and tcon can be qualified by const, and the first
argument of selinux_trans_to_raw_context() can take const pointer.
But it tries to initialize rscon and tscon by const pointer, although
these are used to store raw security contexts.
The selinux_trans_to_raw_context() always set dynamically allocated
text string on the second argument, so we don't need to initialize it
anyway. I also removed these initializations in this patch.
Does the older mcstrans code could return without allocation of raw
format when the given scon is already raw format? I don't know why
these are initialized in this manner.
Thanks.

for the given database object identified by its name and object class.
It is necessary to implement a feature something like the restorecon on databases.
The specfile shall be described as follows:
------------------------
#
# The specfile for database objects
# (for SE-PostgreSQL)
#
# <object class> <object name> <security context>
#
db_database * system_u:object_r:sepgsql_db_t:s0
db_schema *.pg_catalog system_u:obejct_r:sepgsql_sys_schema_t:s0
db_schema *.* system_u:object_r:sepgsql_schema_t:s0
db_table *.pg_catalog.* system_u:object_r:sepgsql_sysobj_t:s0
db_table *.*.* system_u:object_r:sepgsql_table_t:s0
------------------------
- All the characters after the '#' are ignored.
- Wildcards ('*' and '?') are available.
- It returns the first match security context.
Note that hierarchy of the namespace of database objects depends on RDBMS.
So, author of the specfile needs to write correct patterns which are suitable
for the target RDBMS. The patched selabel_*() interfaces don't have any
heuristics for the namespace hierarchy to be suitable for widespread RDBMSs.
In the case of SE-PgSQL, when we lookup an expected security context for the
'my_table' table in the 'public' schema and 'postgres' database, the caller
shall provide 'postgres.public.my_table' as a key.
In the default, it tries to read a specfile which maps database objects and security
context from the /etc/selinux/$POLICYTYPE/contexts/sepgsql_contexts.
Note that when another RDBMS uses this interface, it needs to give an explicit
SELABEL_OPT_PATH option on the selabel_open().

avc_open() creates the netlink socket in nonblocking mode. If the
application later takes control of the netlink socket with
avc_netlink_acquire_fd() and then calls avc_netlink_loop(), it
will fail with EWOULDBLOCK.
To remedy this, remove the O_NONBLOCK flag from the netlink socket
at the start of avc_netlink_loop(). Also, with this fix, there is
no need for avc_open() to ever create a blocking socket, so change
that and update the man page.
-v2: use poll() in avc_netlink_check_nb(). This makes both
avc_netlink_loop() and avc_netlink_check_nb() independent of the

Newer glibc headers expose a failure to #include the required headers
for stat(2). Also exposes a conflict in redefining close() in that
file. Patch below should fix.
Only audit the permissions specified by the policy, excluding any
permissions specified via dontaudit or not specified via auditallow.
This only shows up when a single avc_has_perm() call is made with
multiple permissions where some of those permissions are dontaudit'd or
auditallow'd while others are not. The corresponding kernel patch has
already been applied, see:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b6cac5a30b325e14cda425670bb3568d3cad0aa8

Hi folks,
The script, src/exception.sh, contains so called bashisms
(constructs not supported by POSIX, but present as bash
extensions). This means when trying to build on systems where /bin/sh
is not bash, the build fails with an error. This patch uses bash to
run exception.sh. This bug affects a significant subset of Debian and
Debian derivative machines.

Yes, matchpathcon is a mess. Following your guidelines, I have now
splitted the huge and messy page in several different man pages. It's
easier to consult and easier to maintain.
The first part (page) is strictly related to _init, its variant
_init_index, _fini, matchpathcon and its variant matchpathcon_index.
Nice and concise. References are provided in the "SEE ALSO" section to
the rest.
The second page describes the auxiliary lookup calls
(matchpathcon_checkmatches) and the inode associations functions
(matchpathcon_filespec_{add,destroy,eval}). The reference section points
to the main matchpathcon page.
A third page has been created for the functions that are used to set the
flags (set_matchpathcon_flags) or to configure the behaviour of the main
matchpathcon functions (set_matchpathcon_invalidcon and
set_matchpathcon_printf).
A fourth and fifth page is devoted to functions that should never had
ended up in matchpathcon (selinux_file_context_cmp and
selinux_file_context_verify in one page and selinux_lsetfilecon_default
in another one): we do not really need to save electrons needed for new
pages...

Ok. I have stressed that now and also mentioned that after the policy
has been loaded at startup, then only "setenforce" can be used to alter
(not disable) the mode of the SELinux kernel code (for example by
placing it into "permissive" mode).

I have now added a "RETURN VALUE" section.
Also, to avoid confusion, I have rephrased the word "returns" in
"provides" when not strictly referring the to the return value of the
function (take for example security_get_boolean_names(), strictly
speaking the function returns an integer representing 0=success or
-1=failure, although from a conceptual point of view it also returns a
list trough modification of one of its parameters passed by reference).
Usually when an application developer looks at the "RETURN VALUE"
section it is because he/she has already planned/coded the call to the
function (and thus also the handling to parameters passed by reference)
and only needs to check for the function exit status so that it can be
handled properly at the call point.

Yes, I have now mentioned that checkPasswdAccess is deprecated. We are
referring to file security_compute_av.3 as the description of these two
functions lives there...
By the way, it has been pointed out that this function should not
hard-code a string. I also agree with him, there is a generic constant
for such "passwd" object class, it is defined in flask.h could be used
instead of the string, thus avoiding hard-coding and also allowing to
save a few cycles and be theoretically future-proof (if ever the name
would change, say to "password", "auth-token" or anything else).

Note that the above code, should really live in the application and not
in the selinux library. It used to be like that, then for some reason it
has been introduced. Redhat's passwd and cronie are calling the library
function and thus at the moment they rely on it. But for example,
util-linux-ng has the code in it and does not call this function, as I
believe it should be. A very minor issue anyway...

Done. I have also added a note to the already mentioned fact that after
initial policy load, SELinux cannot be anymore disabled using calls to

I did also provide on the same day a patch for beautifying and improving
the command-line option parsing of a few utilities (a ticket had been
created by somebody). That patch provides those improvement according to
GNU-style parsing of "help" and "version" options (including long-option
variants). I think it also fixes a couple of typos here and there. Feel
free to include that patch too if you like it, so that the ticket can be
closed ! I will attach it again in another separate message: it has been
slightly modified in order to apply cleanly to the latest git snapshot.
More important, I was also thinking about fingerprinting (and
subsequently checking) the libraries with some cryptographic hash
function such as the NIST-recommended SHA2. It is beginning to be done
for security-related projects like OpenSSL, so I believe it is even more
essential for SELinux. Ever thought about anything like that ?

In integrating SELinux policy into rpm, we have a need to be
able to reset the configuration data (e.g. policy type) loaded
into libselinux. These values are currently loaded lazily by a
number of different functions (e.g. matchpatchcon_init()).
Since we are changing rpm to install policy, including initial
base policy, we need to be able to reload these configuration
items after the policy has been installed.
reset_selinux_config() already exists and is used by
selinux_init_load_policy() for a similar reason, but it is not
exported. This was probably intentionaly since it is not thread
safe at all. That said, rpm needs to do the same thing. This
patch makes the function public, and places a warning in the
header comment that it is not thread safe.

Add exception code
the refcounting under the following justifications:
1. Managing the refcounts by calling sidput() and sidget() as
appropriate is a difficult and bug-prone task for users of the library.
2. The userspace AVC doesn't currently make use of the refcounts to
reclaim unused SID's unless avc_cleanup() is explicitly called.
3. The kernel itself no longer uses refcounting for it's own SID's.
The implication of this change is that SID's (basically malloc'ed copies
of security contexts) will persist in the AVC's SID table until the next
call to avc_destroy(). This presents the potential for increased memory
usage, but in practice I don't believe this will be an issue. ABI
compatibility is preserved: the avc_cleanup(), sidput(), and sidget()
calls are changed to no-ops.

Revive Steve Grubb's patch for libselinux lazy init and extend it to
address not only the reading of /etc/selinux/config but also probing
for /selinux/class and reading of /selinux/mls. This should reduce the
need for dontaudit rules for programs that link with libselinux and it
should reduce unnecessary overhead.
I did not convert init_selinuxmnt over to lazy init since the functions
that use selinux_mnt are not localized, and it only requires stat'ing
of /selinux in the common case.
I couldn't see a valid reason why we needed fini_obj_class_compat(), as
the existence of /selinux/class will only change across a reboot with
different kernel versions. fini_context_translations() already had a
comment saying that it was unnecessary as well.

The idea here is to break the seusers file up into lots of little
seusers file that can be user specific, also adds the service field to
be used by tools like pam_selinux to choose which is the correct context
to log a user in as.
Patch was added to facilitate IPA handing out SELinux content for

Possible patch for libselinux to a) gracefully handle the situation
where selinuxfs is already mounted, b) report errors when switching to
permissive, and c) proceed with the policy load even if we cannot switch
to permissive mode as requested, as proceeding without a policy when the
kernel only supports enforcing mode is not desirable.

Al was complaining that he has selinux disabled and has 100,000+ mounts
in /proc/mounts. Every time he runs ls the thing takes 5 seconds
because the libselinux constructor runs the entirety of his /proc/mounts
looking for selinuxfs, which doesn't exist. Speed things up by first
checking for selinuxfs in /proc/filesystems, only if the fs is even
registered should we bother to run all of /proc/mounts.

The problem is with freeing storage referenced by TLS variables in
destructors. The destructor is called only in one of the threads and the
variables might not be even properly initialized in that thread. One
possibility is to not free the storage at all but that will leak memory
if the libselinux is loaded/unloaded multiple times in a process.
The only proper way is to use TSD (pthread_key_create,
pthread_setspecific etc.) to store the pointers to the cached contexts.
The attached patch implements this. I did not test it thoroughly though.

Since the v2.6.26 kernel, SELinux has supported an idea of permissive
domain which allows certain processes to work as if permissive mode,
even if the global setting is enforcing mode.
However, we don't have an application program interface to inform
what domains are permissive one, and what domains are not.
It means applications focuses on SELinux (XACE/SELinux, SE-PostgreSQL
and so on) cannot handle permissive domain correctly.
This patch add the sixth field (flags) on the reply of the /selinux/access
interface which is used to make an access control decision from userspace.
If the first bit of the flags field is positive, it means the required
access control decision is on permissive domain, so application should
allow any required actions, as the kernel doing.
This patch also has a side benefit. The av_decision.flags is set at
context_struct_compute_av(). It enables to check required permissions
without read_lock(&policy_rwlock).

userspace avc to significantly increase the speed of these types of
operations.
Revised to correct locking, interface issues.

And this is still broken.
One more fix.
+ mode = os.stat(path)[stat.ST_MODE]
should be
+ mode = os.lstat(path)[stat.ST_MODE]
Modified to remove copytree and install functions

Currently, the message types are defined but not used.
This will allow better separation of messages when logging to facilities
such as libaudit.

matchpathcon -V should be passing the mode when checking whether the
file context on a file is correct.

Subject: Some missing man pages from libselinux
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 08:57:44 -0400
We are still missing the following man pages.
Perhaps some of these functions should be removed?
selinux_users_path seems to return a bogus directory?
Also do not have _raw functions defined in man pages.
matchpathcon_checkmatches
matchpathcon_filespec_add
matchpathcon_filespec_destroy
matchpathcon_filespec_eval
matchpathcon_index
matchpathcon_init_prefix
print_access_vector
security_canonicalize_context
security_disable
security_set_boolean_list
selinux_check_passwd_access
selinux_customizable_types_path
selinux_file_context_cmp
selinux_file_context_verify
selinux_get_callback
