[PATCH V4 7/8] audit: log creation and deletion of namespace instances

Richard Guy Briggs
2014-08-21T01:09:40Z

Log the creation and deletion of namespace instances in all 6 types of
namespaces.

Twelve new audit message types have been introduced:
AUDIT_NS_INIT_MNT 1330 /* Record mount namespace instance creation */
AUDIT_NS_INIT_UTS 1331 /* Record UTS namespace instance creation */
AUDIT_NS_INIT_IPC 1332 /* Record IPC namespace instance creation */
AUDIT_NS_INIT_USER 1333 /* Record USER namespace instance creation */
AUDIT_NS_INIT_PID 1334 /* Record PID namespace instance creation */
AUDIT_NS_INIT_NET 1335 /* Record NET namespace instance creation */
AUDIT_NS_DEL_MNT 1336 /* Record mount namespace instance deletion */
AUDIT_NS_DEL_UTS 1337 /* Record UTS namespace instance deletion */
AUDIT_NS_DEL_IPC 1338 /* Record IPC namespace instance deletion */
AUDIT_NS_DEL_USER 1339 /* Record USER namespace instance deletion */
AUDIT_NS_DEL_PID 1340 /* Record PID namespace instance deletion */
AUDIT_NS_DEL_NET 1341 /* Record NET namespace instance deletion */

As suggested by Eric Paris, there are 12 message types, one for each of
creation and deletion, one for each type of namespace so that text searches are
easier in conjunction with the AUDIT_NS_INFO message type, being able to search
for all records such as "netns=7 " and to avoid fields disappearing per message
type to make ausearch more efficient.

A typical startup would look roughly like:

type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_UTS msg=audit(1408577534.868:5): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel old_utsns=0 utsns=2 res=1
type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_USER msg=audit(1408577534.868:6): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel old_userns=0 userns=3 res=1
type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_PID msg=audit(1408577534.868:7): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel old_pidns=0 pidns=4 res=1
type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_MNT msg=audit(1408577534.868:8): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel old_mntns=0 mntns=5 res=1
type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_IPC msg=audit(1408577534.868:9): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel old_ipcns=0 ipcns=1 res=1
type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_NET msg=audit(1408577533.500:10): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel old_netns=0 netns=7 res=1

And a CLONE action would result in:
type=type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_NET msg=audit(1408577535.306:81): pid=481 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 old_netns=7 netns=8 res=1
type=type=AUDIT_NS_INIT_MNT msg=audit(1408577535.307:83): pid=481 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 old_mntns=5 mntns=9 res=1

While deleting a namespace would result in:
type=type=AUDIT_NS_DEL_MNT msg=audit(1408577552.221:85): pid=481 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 mntns=9 res=1

If non-zero, old_snum lists the namespace from which it was cloned.
