[PATCH 4th revision] Add SELinux context support to AUDIT target

Mr Dash Four
2011-06-18T12:08:05Z

In this revision the conversion of secid to SELinux context and adding it to the audit log is moved from xt_AUDIT.c to audit.c with the aid of a separate helper function - audit_log_secctx - which does both the conversion and logging of SELinux context, thus also preventing internal secid number being leaked to userspace. If conversion is not successful an error is raised.

With the introduction of this helper function the work done in xt_AUDIT.c is much more simplified. It also opens the possibility of this helper function being used by other modules (including auditd itself), if desired. With this addition, typical (raw auditd) output after applying the patch would be:

type=NETFILTER_PKT msg=audit(1305852240.082:31012): action=0 hook=1 len=52 inif=? outif=eth0 saddr=10.1.1.7 daddr=10.1.2.1 ipid=16312 proto=6 sport=56150 dport=22 obj=system_u:object_r:ssh_client_packet_t:s0
type=NETFILTER_PKT msg=audit(1306772064.079:56): action=0 hook=3 len=48 inif=eth0 outif=? smac=00:05:5d:7c:27:0b dmac=00:02:b3:0a:7f:81 macproto=0x0800 saddr=10.1.2.1 daddr=10.1.1.7 ipid=462 proto=6 sport=22 dport=3561 obj=system_u:object_r:ssh_server_packet_t:s0
