beb8d13bed [MLSXFRM]: Add flow labeling
This labels the flows that could utilize IPSec xfrms at the points the
flows are defined so that IPSec policy and SAs at the right label can
be used.

The following protos are currently not handled, but they should
continue to be able to use single-labeled IPSec like they currently
do.

0d681623d3 [MLSXFRM]: Add security context to acquire messages using netlink
This includes the security context of a security association created
for use by IKE in the acquire messages sent to IKE daemons using
netlink/xfrm_user. This would allow the daemons to include the
security context in the negotiation, so that the resultant association
is unique to that security context.

d49c73c729 [IPSEC]: Validate properly in xfrm_dst_check()
If dst->obsolete is -1, this is a signal from the
bundle creator that we want the XFRM dst and the
dsts that it references to be validated on every
use.

I misunderstood this intention when I changed
xfrm_dst_check() to always return NULL.

Now, when we purge a dst entry, by running dst_free()
on it.  This will set the dst->obsolete to a positive
integer, and we want to return NULL in that case so
that the socket does a relookup for the route.

Thus, if dst->obsolete<0, let stale_bundle() validate
the state, else always return NULL.

In general, we need to do things more intelligently
here because we flush too much state during rule
changes.  Herbert Xu has some ideas wherein the key
manager gives us some help in this area.  We can also
use smarter state management algorithms inside of
the kernel as well.

c7bdb545d2 [NETLINK]: Encapsulate eff_cap usage within security framework.
This patch encapsulates the usage of eff_cap (in netlink_skb_params) within
the security framework by extending security_netlink_recv to include a required
capability parameter and converting all direct usage of eff_caps outside
of the lsm modules to use the interface.  It also updates the SELinux
implementation of the security_netlink_send and security_netlink_recv
hooks to take advantage of the sid in the netlink_skb_params struct.
This also enables SELinux to perform auditing of netlink capability checks.
Please apply, for 2.6.18 if possible.

c8c05a8eec [LSM-IPsec]: SELinux Authorize
This patch contains a fix for the previous patch that adds security
contexts to IPsec policies and security associations.  In the previous
patch, no authorization (besides the check for write permissions to
SAD and SPD) is required to delete IPsec policies and security
assocations with security contexts.  Thus a user authorized to change
SAD and SPD can bypass the IPsec policy authorization by simply
deleteing policies with security contexts.  To fix this security hole,
an additional authorization check is added for removing security
policies and security associations with security contexts.

Note that if no security context is supplied on add or present on
policy to be deleted, the SELinux module allows the change
unconditionally.  The hook is called on deletion when no context is
present, which we may want to change.  At present, I left it up to the
module.

LSM changes:

The patch adds two new LSM hooks: xfrm_policy_delete and
xfrm_state_delete.  The new hooks are necessary to authorize deletion
of IPsec policies that have security contexts.  The existing hooks
xfrm_policy_free and xfrm_state_free lack the context to do the
authorization, so I decided to split authorization of deletion and
memory management of security data, as is typical in the LSM
interface.

Use:

The new delete hooks are checked when xfrm_policy or xfrm_state are
deleted by either the xfrm_user interface (xfrm_get_policy,
xfrm_del_sa) or the pfkey interface (pfkey_spddelete, pfkey_delete).

SELinux changes:

The new policy_delete and state_delete functions are added.

546be2405b [IPSEC] xfrm: Undo afinfo lock proliferation
The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced
down to one each for policy and state respectively.  This is based on the
observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal
which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate
between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6.

The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look
suspicious at first.  However, after you realise that nobody ever takes
the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :)

As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of
the corresponding modules.  Since neither module can be unloaded at all
we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :)

When xfrm_user isn't loaded xfrm_nl is NULL, which makes IPsec crash because
xfrm_aevent_is_on passes the NULL pointer to netlink_has_listeners as socket.
A second problem is that the xfrm_nl pointer is not cleared when the socket
is releases at module unload time.

that the socket is present in xfrm_aevent_is_on and set it to NULL

980ebd2579 [IPSEC]: Sync series - acquire insert
This introduces a feature similar to the one described in RFC 2367:
"
   ... the application needing an SA sends a PF_KEY
   SADB_ACQUIRE message down to the Key Engine, which then either
   returns an error or sends a similar SADB_ACQUIRE message up to one or
   more key management applications capable of creating such SAs.
   ...
   ...
   The third is where an application-layer consumer of security
   associations (e.g.  an OSPFv2 or RIPv2 daemon) needs a security
   association.

        Send an SADB_ACQUIRE message from a user process to the kernel.

        <base, address(SD), (address(P),) (identity(SD),) (sensitivity,)
          proposal>

        The kernel returns an SADB_ACQUIRE message to registered
          sockets.

        <base, address(SD), (address(P),) (identity(SD),) (sensitivity,)
          proposal>

        The user-level consumer waits for an SADB_UPDATE or SADB_ADD
        message for its particular type, and then can use that
        association by using SADB_GET messages.

 "
An app such as OSPF could then use ipsec KM to get keys

752c1f4c78 [IPSEC]: Kill post_input hook and do NAT-T in esp_input directly
The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the
potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which
we ought to do.

However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the
checksums without using this post_input stuff at all.  The crucial
point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered
when adjusting checksums.  What's more, the checksum adjustment
comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums.

We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :)
When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum
is currently unused.  All we have to do is to make that the checksum
adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures!

I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately
woven into the sec_path stuff.  We can kill them later too.

00de651d14 [IPSEC]: Fix strange IPsec freeze.
Problem discovered and initial patch by Olaf Kirch:

	there's a problem with IPsec that has been bugging some of our users
	for the last couple of kernel revs. Every now and then, IPsec will
	freeze the machine completely. This is with openswan user land,
	and with kernels up to and including 2.6.16-rc2.

	I managed to debug this a little, and what happens is that we end
	up looping in xfrm_lookup, and never get out. With a bit of debug
	printks added, I can this happening:

		ip_route_output_flow calls xfrm_lookup

		xfrm_find_bundle returns NULL (apparently we're in the
			middle of negotiating a new SA or something)

		We therefore call xfrm_tmpl_resolve. This returns EAGAIN
			We go to sleep, waiting for a policy update.
			Then we loop back to the top

		Apparently, the dst_orig that was passed into xfrm_lookup
			has been dropped from the routing table (obsolete=2)
			This leads to the endless loop, because we now create
			a new bundle, check the new bundle and find it's stale
			(stale_bundle -> xfrm_bundle_ok -> dst_check() return 0)

	People have been testing with the patch below, which seems to fix the
	problem partially. They still see connection hangs however (things
	only clear up when they start a new ping or new ssh). So the patch
	is obvsiouly not sufficient, and something else seems to go wrong.

	I'm grateful for any hints you may have...

I suggest that we simply bail out always.  If the dst decides to die
on us later on, the packet will be dropped anyway.  So there is no
great urgency to retry here.  Once we have the proper resolution
queueing, we can then do the retry again.

Makeing sure the lookup only happens once needs a new field in the

df71837d50 [LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction.
This patch series implements per packet access control via the
extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in
the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security
associations to label packets.  Extensions to the SELinux LSM are
included that leverage the patch for this purpose.

This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem,
pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a
socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security
association) to send/receive network packets.

Patch purpose:

The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on
the strongly authenticated IPSec security association.  Such access
controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP
address.  The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be
spoofed.  By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote
hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism.
This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application
if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to
enforce the access control policy.

Patch design approach:

The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by
user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a
security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM
subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via
security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those
policies.

A presentation available at
www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf
from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach.

Patch implementation details:

On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or
xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of
the socket and the same security context is required for resultant
security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in
ipsec-tools).  This is enforced in xfrm_state_find.

On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket
(at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must
also match the security association being used.

The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec.
The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as
before.

Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is
minimal.  The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the
combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec
processing proceeds as in the original case.

Testing:

The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools.  ipsec-tools have
been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version
0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security
associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation
using the security contexts via racoon.

The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set
security contexts.  These programs are also available from me, and
contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing
this interface.  Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel
behavior.

9b78a82c1c [IPSEC]: Fix policy updates missed by sockets
The problem is that when new policies are inserted, sockets do not see
the update (but all new route lookups do).

This bug is related to the SA insertion stale route issue solved
recently, and this policy visibility problem can be fixed in a similar
way.

The fix is to flush out the bundles of all policies deeper than the
policy being inserted.  Consider beginning state of "outgoing"
direction policy list:

	policy A --> policy B --> policy C --> policy D

First, realize that inserting a policy into a list only potentially
changes IPSEC routes for that direction.  Therefore we need not bother
considering the policies for other directions.  We need only consider
the existing policies in the list we are doing the inserting.

Consider new policy "B'", inserted after B.

	policy A --> policy B --> policy B' --> policy C --> policy D

Two rules:

1) If policy A or policy B matched before the insertion, they
   appear before B' and thus would still match after inserting
   B'

2) Policy C and D, now "shadowed" and after policy B', potentially
   contain stale routes because policy B' might be selected
   instead of them.

Therefore we only need flush routes assosciated with policies
appearing after a newly inserted policy, if any.

This introduces a leak when xfrm_state_add()/xfrm_state_update()
fail. We hold two references (one from xfrm_state_alloc(), one
from xfrm_state_hold()), but only drop one. We need to take the
reference because the reference from xfrm_state_alloc() can
be dropped by __xfrm_state_delete(), so the fix is to drop both
references on error. Same problem in xfrm_user.c.

4666faab09 [IPSEC] Kill spurious hard expire messages
This patch ensures that the hard state/policy expire notifications are
only sent when the state/policy is successfully removed from their
respective tables.

As it is, it's possible for a state/policy to both expire through
reaching a hard limit, as well as being deleted by the user.

Note that this behaviour isn't actually forbidden by RFC 2367.
However, it is a quality of implementation issue.

As an added bonus, the restructuring in this patch will help
eventually in moving the expire notifications from softirq
context into process context, thus improving their reliability.

One important side-effect from this change is that SAs reaching
their hard byte/packet limits are now deleted immediately, just
like SAs that have reached their hard time limits.

Previously they were announced immediately but only deleted after
30 seconds.

This is bad because it prevents the system from issuing an ACQUIRE
command until the existing state was deleted by the user or expires
after the time is up.

In the scenario where the expire notification was lost this introduces
a 30 second delay into the system for no good reason.

d48102007d [XFRM]: skb_cow_data() does not set proper owner for new skbs.
It looks like skb_cow_data() does not set 
proper owner for newly created skb.

If we have several fragments for skb and some of them
are shared(?) or cloned (like in async IPsec) there 
might be a situation when we require recreating skb and 
thus using skb_copy() for it.
Newly created skb has neither a destructor nor a socket
assotiated with it, which must be copied from the old skb.
As far as I can see, current code sets destructor and socket
for the first one skb only and uses truesize of the first skb
only to increment sk_wmem_alloc value.

If above "analysis" is correct then attached patch fixes that.

I found a bug that stopped IPsec/IPv6 from working.  About
a month ago IPv6 started using rt6i_idev->dev on the cached socket dst
entries.  If the cached socket dst entry is IPsec, then rt6i_idev will
be NULL.

Since we want to look at the rt6i_idev of the original route in this
case, the easiest fix is to store rt6i_idev in the IPsec dst entry just
as we do for a number of other IPv6 route attributes.  Unfortunately
this means that we need some new code to handle the references to
rt6i_idev.  That's why this patch is bigger than it would otherwise be.

I've also done the same thing for IPv4 since it is conceivable that
once these idev attributes start getting used for accounting, we
probably need to dereference them for IPv4 IPsec entries too.

0f4821e7b9 [XFRM/RTNETLINK]: Decrement qlen properly in {xfrm_,rt}netlink_rcv().
If we free up a partially processed packet because it's
skb->len dropped to zero, we need to decrement qlen because
we are dropping out of the top-level loop so it will do
the decrement for us.

2a0a6ebee1 [NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.
Let's recap the problem.  The current asynchronous netlink kernel
message processing is vulnerable to these attacks:

1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits
before they're processed.  This may confuse/disable the next netlink
user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may
receive the responses to the attacker's messages.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.
c) Restrict/prohibit binding.

2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written
to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket,
it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily
long period of time.  If this is successfully exploited it could
also be used to hold rtnl forever.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.

Firstly let's cross off solution c).  It only solves the first
problem and it has user-visible impacts.  In particular, it'll
break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate
with specific netlink addresses (pid's).

So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus
SOCK_STREAM for netlink.

For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as
suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend
my time working on other things.

However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the
stream mode solution:

1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable.

2) Inefficient use of resources.  This is especially true for rtnetlink
since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers.
The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which
causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things.

3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel
netlink receive queue.  The attacker simply fills the receive socket
with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue.  The
attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop.

Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however
it is pretty messy.

In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement
stream mode netlink at some point.  In the mean time, here is a patch
that implements synchronous processing.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
