1 | SCTP SELinux Support | ||
2 | ===================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | Security Hooks | ||
5 | =============== | ||
6 | |||
7 | ``Documentation/security/LSM-sctp.rst`` describes the following SCTP security | ||
8 | hooks with the SELinux specifics expanded below:: | ||
9 | |||
10 | security_sctp_assoc_request() | ||
11 | security_sctp_bind_connect() | ||
12 | security_sctp_sk_clone() | ||
13 | security_inet_conn_established() | ||
14 | |||
15 | |||
16 | security_sctp_assoc_request() | ||
17 | ----------------------------- | ||
18 | Passes the ``@ep`` and ``@chunk->skb`` of the association INIT packet to the | ||
19 | security module. Returns 0 on success, error on failure. | ||
20 | :: | ||
21 | |||
22 | @ep - pointer to sctp endpoint structure. | ||
23 | @skb - pointer to skbuff of association packet. | ||
24 | |||
25 | The security module performs the following operations: | ||
26 | IF this is the first association on ``@ep->base.sk``, then set the peer | ||
27 | sid to that in ``@skb``. This will ensure there is only one peer sid | ||
28 | assigned to ``@ep->base.sk`` that may support multiple associations. | ||
29 | |||
30 | ELSE validate the ``@ep->base.sk peer_sid`` against the ``@skb peer sid`` | ||
31 | to determine whether the association should be allowed or denied. | ||
32 | |||
33 | Set the sctp ``@ep sid`` to socket's sid (from ``ep->base.sk``) with | ||
34 | MLS portion taken from ``@skb peer sid``. This will be used by SCTP | ||
35 | TCP style sockets and peeled off connections as they cause a new socket | ||
36 | to be generated. | ||
37 | |||
38 | If IP security options are configured (CIPSO/CALIPSO), then the ip | ||
39 | options are set on the socket. | ||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | security_sctp_bind_connect() | ||
43 | ----------------------------- | ||
44 | Checks permissions required for ipv4/ipv6 addresses based on the ``@optname`` | ||
45 | as follows:: | ||
46 | |||
47 | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
48 | | BIND Permission Checks | | ||
49 | | @optname | @address contains | | ||
50 | |----------------------------|-----------------------------------| | ||
51 | | SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses | | ||
52 | | SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address | | ||
53 | | SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address | | ||
54 | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
55 | |||
56 | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
57 | | CONNECT Permission Checks | | ||
58 | | @optname | @address contains | | ||
59 | |----------------------------|-----------------------------------| | ||
60 | | SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses | | ||
61 | | SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses | | ||
62 | | SCTP_SENDMSG_CONNECT | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address | | ||
63 | | SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address | | ||
64 | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
65 | |||
66 | |||
67 | ``Documentation/security/LSM-sctp.rst`` gives a summary of the ``@optname`` | ||
68 | entries and also describes ASCONF chunk processing when Dynamic Address | ||
69 | Reconfiguration is enabled. | ||
70 | |||
71 | |||
72 | security_sctp_sk_clone() | ||
73 | ------------------------- | ||
74 | Called whenever a new socket is created by **accept**\(2) (i.e. a TCP style | ||
75 | socket) or when a socket is 'peeled off' e.g userspace calls | ||
76 | **sctp_peeloff**\(3). ``security_sctp_sk_clone()`` will set the new | ||
77 | sockets sid and peer sid to that contained in the ``@ep sid`` and | ||
78 | ``@ep peer sid`` respectively. | ||
79 | :: | ||
80 | |||
81 | @ep - pointer to current sctp endpoint structure. | ||
82 | @sk - pointer to current sock structure. | ||
83 | @sk - pointer to new sock structure. | ||
84 | |||
85 | |||
86 | security_inet_conn_established() | ||
87 | --------------------------------- | ||
88 | Called when a COOKIE ACK is received where it sets the connection's peer sid | ||
89 | to that in ``@skb``:: | ||
90 | |||
91 | @sk - pointer to sock structure. | ||
92 | @skb - pointer to skbuff of the COOKIE ACK packet. | ||
93 | |||
94 | |||
95 | Policy Statements | ||
96 | ================== | ||
97 | The following class and permissions to support SCTP are available within the | ||
98 | kernel:: | ||
99 | |||
100 | class sctp_socket inherits socket { node_bind } | ||
101 | |||
102 | whenever the following policy capability is enabled:: | ||
103 | |||
104 | policycap extended_socket_class; | ||
105 | |||
106 | SELinux SCTP support adds the ``name_connect`` permission for connecting | ||
107 | to a specific port type and the ``association`` permission that is explained | ||
108 | in the section below. | ||
109 | |||
110 | If userspace tools have been updated, SCTP will support the ``portcon`` | ||
111 | statement as shown in the following example:: | ||
112 | |||
113 | portcon sctp 1024-1036 system_u:object_r:sctp_ports_t:s0 | ||
114 | |||
115 | |||
116 | SCTP Peer Labeling | ||
117 | =================== | ||
118 | An SCTP socket will only have one peer label assigned to it. This will be | ||
119 | assigned during the establishment of the first association. Once the peer | ||
120 | label has been assigned, any new associations will have the ``association`` | ||
121 | permission validated by checking the socket peer sid against the received | ||
122 | packets peer sid to determine whether the association should be allowed or | ||
123 | denied. | ||
124 | |||
125 | NOTES: | ||
126 | 1) If peer labeling is not enabled, then the peer context will always be | ||
127 | ``SECINITSID_UNLABELED`` (``unlabeled_t`` in Reference Policy). | ||
128 | |||
129 | 2) As SCTP can support more than one transport address per endpoint | ||
130 | (multi-homing) on a single socket, it is possible to configure policy | ||
131 | and NetLabel to provide different peer labels for each of these. As the | ||
132 | socket peer label is determined by the first associations transport | ||
133 | address, it is recommended that all peer labels are consistent. | ||
134 | |||
135 | 3) **getpeercon**\(3) may be used by userspace to retrieve the sockets peer | ||
136 | context. | ||
137 | |||
138 | 4) While not SCTP specific, be aware when using NetLabel that if a label | ||
139 | is assigned to a specific interface, and that interface 'goes down', | ||
140 | then the NetLabel service will remove the entry. Therefore ensure that | ||
141 | the network startup scripts call **netlabelctl**\(8) to set the required | ||
142 | label (see **netlabel-config**\(8) helper script for details). | ||
143 | |||
144 | 5) The NetLabel SCTP peer labeling rules apply as discussed in the following | ||
145 | set of posts tagged "netlabel" at: http://www.paul-moore.com/blog/t. | ||
146 | |||
147 | 6) CIPSO is only supported for IPv4 addressing: ``socket(AF_INET, ...)`` | ||
148 | CALIPSO is only supported for IPv6 addressing: ``socket(AF_INET6, ...)`` | ||
149 | |||
150 | Note the following when testing CIPSO/CALIPSO: | ||
151 | a) CIPSO will send an ICMP packet if an SCTP packet cannot be | ||
152 | delivered because of an invalid label. | ||
153 | b) CALIPSO does not send an ICMP packet, just silently discards it. | ||
154 | |||
155 | 7) IPSEC is not supported as RFC 3554 - sctp/ipsec support has not been | ||
156 | implemented in userspace (**racoon**\(8) or **ipsec_pluto**\(8)), | ||
157 | although the kernel supports SCTP/IPSEC. | ||
