Problems finding working kernel/user land combination

Problems finding working kernel/user land combination

[Dave Gilbert (Home)]

Hi,
   I've been following the document 'Getting Started With SE Linux 
HOWTO' by Faye Coker (12 March 2003) and am having problems. Any help 
much appreciated.

I'm using Debian Woody and the 'stable' set of tools from Brian May 
(www.microcomaustralia.com.au)

If I build the latest NSA kernel source the user land tools don't 
recognise that SELinux is in the kernel:

id -c :

Sorry, --context (-c) can be used only on a flask-enabled kernel.

yet the boot messages contain:

SELinux:  Initializing.
SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode
There is already a security framework initialized, register_security failed.
Failure registering capabilities with the kernel
selinux_register_security:  Registering secondary module capability
Capability LSM initialized


which I've read is normal behaviour (is it?)

An strace of 'id' shows:

SYS_223(0xf97cff8c, 0xc, 0, 0x400135cc) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not 
implemented)

There is an selinuxfs that I can mount and I can see files
'access  context  create  enforce  load  policyvers  relabel  user'
but they give invalid argument if I try and cat them.

I have:

CONFIG_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y

-----------------------

OK - so that doesn't work; and I'm thinking I need to try a different 
kernel patch set.
So I download the patches from www.coker.com.au/newselinux/kern

and after battling through adding the ea, acl and nfsacl patches
I then patch the coker lsm patches on.

This has two problems:
   1) A minor reject in tcp_ipv4.c that appears easy to fix
   2) Line 666 (gulp!) of ip_output.c has:

   security_ip_fragment(skb2, skb);

   but there doesn't appear to be an skb2 in that context.

------------------------

So in short; does anyone have a known good set of kernel patches that 
actually work, or a set of userland tools for Debian/stable that work 
with the NSA kernel?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hello,

Currently the "stable" set of tools are all for the old selinux,
I suspect you have a kernel with the new selinux.

These packages, for woody, are still in the "unstable" section of my
archive.

Unless anybody has any serious objections, I plan to delete the old
selinux files in my "stable" archive and replace them with the new
selinux files in my "unstable" archive.

It appears that the "stable" repository on Brian's site is for old SE Linux 
and "unstable" is for new SE Linux.  I've updated my web site to describe 
this.

Brian, what are your plans for this?  Do you plan to make the new SE Linux 
packages migrate to "stable" on your site?

SYS_223 is the LSM system call from the old SE Linux.

Sounds like you aren't applying the patches to the Debian kernel source.  If 
you get kernel-patch-debian-2.4.24 and apply it first then everything should 
be fine.

Regarding the skb2, that's because the patch gets applied to the wrong 
function.  Look at the context after the added line and it should be easy to 
manually put in.

But using 2.6.1 is probably easier.

Perhaps it would be nice if new-LSM logged something like 'Your using 
the old userland tools' as a clue.

Thanks; I'll give that a go.

So am I OK applying the kernel-patch-2.4-oldlsm_2003.08.13-8 - should 
that work with Brians tools ?
(If not then I guess its a case of downloading the source to your tool 
packages and rebuilding).

> But using 2.6.1 is probably easier.

Indeed; while my own experiences with 2.6.1 on my home machine are 
mostly positive, I'm not really ready to trust its stability on an 
important machine.

Thanks again for the swift response,

Dave

No, don't downgrade; I plan to remove the old stuff. Read my
"previous" response.

I replied almost immediately, but it doesn't seem to have got to the
mailing list yet; I have just realized that the mail server holding
the mailing list doesn't like ECN...

That will work with the tools you have installed.  But it's probably better to 
just upgrade to the new SE Linux.  So install the new tools from the 
"unstable" part of Brian's repository.

Well you can use 2.4.x kernels with the new SE Linux.  But there are delays in 
getting things working when a new 2.4.x kernel comes out.  Also LSM conflicts 
with most other significant kernel patches, which limits what you can do.

This indeed seems to be the case;  after yesterdays discussions I 
successfully built myself an old selinux kernel and got it to work with 
the packages I had installed. Thanks to both yourself and Russell for 
explaining this.

Hmm - I'm confused - if I look in 
/debian/dists/unstable/selinux/binary-i386/Packages
on your site I just see dpkg, dpkg-dev and dpkg-doc
can you give me an exact sources.list line?

You will need to use the "main" section as well as the "selinux"
section.  The "selinux" section is obsolete, as maintaining two
sections become difficult under certain circumstances.

dpkg must be the only package I haven't yet moved...

Thank you! It now works.

The only remaining gotcha was that the old HOWTO that I had made a big 
point of warning you that the first thing you had to install was the 
'login' package - which now doesn't have an selinux version.

So - to summarise (for those reading this in the future - is the archive 
working?); to get SELinux working on Debian/woody:

   * Get the kernel patches (lsm and exec-shield) off Russell Coker's site
   * Get the standard debian 2.4.24 kernel package (from the main debian 
pool) and the debian kernel-patch-acl package
   * To the standard kernel apply the kernel-patch-acl patches (if you 
are doing it by hand that has to be in the order ea, acl, nfsacl)
   * Apply the exec-shield patch
   * apply the lsm patch

Add:


deb http://www.microcomaustralia.com.au/debian unstable selinux main

to your sources.list

and follow the instructions from the *new* selinux howto - that will be 
the one that tells you to mount /selinux and doesn't mention the 'login' 
package.

Note: When installing the packages it is best to do one big apt-get line 
rather than one at a time - doing them individually has a nasty habit of 
removing other packages.

Thanks,

Dave

Re: Problems finding working kernel/user land combination

[Bill McCarty]

Hi all,

I'm trying to follow the trail for installing SELinux on Debian unstable, 
as helpfully documented by Dave Gilbert (see below). Thanks, Dave!

However, I'm having difficulty with the Selinux-policy-default package, 
which Dselect complains is not compatible with Policycoreutils. I plan to 
start over with a very minimal Debian installation on the hypothesis that 
one or more of the SELinux package versions has been obsoleted by a 
non-SELinux package. Can anyone offer other suggestions for installing 
SELinux under Debian, whether stable or unstable?

Cheers,

Those are for woody, not unstable. Look at my site for apt sources for
the other distros (http://selinux.lemuria.org)

Use sid and add to apt/sources.list to the bottom:
deb http://www.coker.com.au/newselinux ./

Check whether every essentials (ssh, login, pam) are selinux versions and
not the plain ones. Sometimes they're a little behind, and debian standard
versions rush in and "upgrade" 'em. :)

Works here.

Thanks, Pete. I think that the upgrades you mention are the root of the 
problem. I have finally ended up with a working configuration. The last 
ditch stand was needing policy.15 rather than policy.16. But, my procedure 
is still way messy. I plan to start over. If I come up with something clear 
that works, I'll share <g>.

I will be happy when you find a configuration that works. I have tried

I ditched my not-quite-right Linux 2.4 installation of SELinux and had a go 
at at Linux 2.6 installation under Debian Sid, created by following Tom's 
excellent instructions at <http://selinux.lemuria.org/install-2.6.html>.

However, I ran into a snag. Sid's SSH package has been updated to require 
libpam-runtime 0.76-14 or greater, and the latest libpam-runtime having 
SELinux mods is only 0.76-13.

Although I was once familiar with Debian, I no longer know my way around 
it. Is there a way to instruct apt-get to ignore such a package dependency? 
I haven't been able to find an appropriate option in the man pages. I 
suppose that I could manually download the SSH package and install it via 
dpkg, which has a --force option. Is that the way to go?

Yes. Just to be sure I usually keep a full copy of the package archive
locally (just the SE progs) and then do something like dpkg -i * after
every upgrade.

If you put this:

Package: *
Pin: release o=etbe
Pin-Priority: 1001

into /etc/apt/preferences, apt will keep Russell's packages and will never
replace them with newer ones from main Debian archive (actually, if you
already have newer version installed, apt will downgrade those packages to
version available from Russell's repository ;).  See 'man apt_preferences'
for more info.

Maybe you could look at my backports from debian unstable to woody
at http://www.rns-nis.co.yu/~mps/ or with apt:
deb http://www.rns-nis.co.yu/~mps selinux/

I backported it with the help from Russell Coker, and  tested it only
under UML with 2.6.4 kernel.

I gave it a go; but dpkg reports that libselinux1 depends on libattr1 >= 
2.4.4-1, which is not part of Woody. Did I take a wrong turn?
