Kernel Panic

[countermode]

Hi,

I just played with subject mode Z and got a kernel crash when I logged in as a user which had the following policy in its user role specification

Code: Select all

subject /bin/ls {
        /usr h
        bind disabled
        connect disabled
}

subject /bin/ls Z {
        /usr/src        r
        bind disabled
        connect disabled
}


System info: Gentoo 3.13.10-hardened, gradm v3.0

I just got the following message on the screen

The crash is repeatable.

a few things:

1. chk_subj_label is RBAC code, so you'll have to wait till next week when spender can take a look
2. in the meantime, can you reproduce this with 3.14.x?
3. can you turn on frame pointers to get a better backtrace and perhaps also some remote logging (serial/netconsole/qemu) so that the beginning of the oops is visible as well?

There you go for 3.13.10 with frame pointers:

This was produced on a different but similar virtual machine (KVM) upon logging in through SSH as the user whose user role policy contained

Code: Select all

subject /tmp/hello_world
        /tmp                    x
        /tmp/hello_world        x
        /var/tmp                h

subject /tmp/hello_world        Z
        /tmp                    h
        /tmp/hello_world        x
        /var/tmp                rwcd


Trying a few variations:

• First ssh, then gradm -E: crash
• simply duplicating the subject definition: crash
• scp instead of ssh: crash

ssh-ing into the machine as someone else doesn't crash the kernel.

Same for 3.14.3-hardened-r2

I was away on vacation, but will look into this.

Thanks,

It should be fixed with the latest gradm. Let me know if you still have problems.

Thanks for the report!

Now I found time to look at this again.

Looks good, no crashes.
