Subject: [PATCH 00/10] Introduce capable_any()
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 12:37:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240315113828.258005-11-cgzones@googlemail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240315113828.258005-1-cgzones@googlemail.com>
Add the interfaces `capable_any()` and `ns_capable_any()` as an
alternative to multiple `capable()`/`ns_capable()` calls, like
`capable_any(CAP_SYS_NICE, CAP_SYS_ADMIN)` instead of
`capable(CAP_SYS_NICE) || capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)`.
`capable_any()`/`ns_capable_any()` will in particular generate exactly
one audit message, either for the left most capability in effect or, if
the task has none, the first one.
This is especially helpful with regard to SELinux, where each audit
message about a not allowed capability request will create a denial
message. Using this new wrapper with the least invasive capability as
left most argument (e.g. CAP_SYS_NICE before CAP_SYS_ADMIN) enables
policy writers to only grant the least invasive one for the particular
subject instead of both.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/selinux/patch/20220615152623.311223-8-cgzones@googlemail.com/
v5:
- rename flag to CAP_OPT_NOAUDIT_ONDENY and internal helper to
ns_capable_noauditondeny()
- add check for identical capabilities passed to simplify bpf call sites
- make use in bpf code
- add coccinelle script
v4:
- add CAP_OPT_NODENYAUDIT capable flag
Christian Göttsche (10):
capability: introduce new capable flag CAP_OPT_NOAUDIT_ONDENY
capability: add any wrappers to test for multiple caps with exactly
one audit message
capability: use new capable_any functionality
block: use new capable_any functionality
drivers: use new capable_any functionality
fs: use new capable_any functionality
kernel: use new capable_any functionality
net: use new capable_any functionality
bpf: use new capable_any functionality
coccinelle: add script for capable_any()
