SCTP LSM Support
================
For security module support, three SCTP specific hooks have been implemented::
security_sctp_assoc_request()
security_sctp_bind_connect()
security_sctp_sk_clone()
Also the following security hook has been utilised::
security_inet_conn_established()
The usage of these hooks are described below with the SELinux implementation
described in ``Documentation/security/SELinux-sctp.rst``
security_sctp_assoc_request()
-----------------------------
Passes the ``@ep`` and ``@chunk->skb`` of the association INIT packet to the
security module. Returns 0 on success, error on failure.
::
@ep - pointer to sctp endpoint structure.
@skb - pointer to skbuff of association packet.
security_sctp_bind_connect()
-----------------------------
Passes one or more ipv4/ipv6 addresses to the security module for validation
based on the ``@optname`` that will result in either a bind or connect
service as shown in the permission check tables below.
Returns 0 on success, error on failure.
::
@sk - Pointer to sock structure.
@optname - Name of the option to validate.
@address - One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses.
@addrlen - The total length of address(s). This is calculated on each
ipv4 or ipv6 address using sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) or
sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6).
------------------------------------------------------------------
| BIND Type Checks |
| @optname | @address contains |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
| SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
| SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
| CONNECT Type Checks |
| @optname | @address contains |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
| SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
| SCTP_SENDMSG_CONNECT | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
| SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
------------------------------------------------------------------
A summary of the ``@optname`` entries is as follows::
SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD - Allows additional bind addresses to be
associated after (optionally) calling
bind(3).
sctp_bindx(3) adds a set of bind
addresses on a socket.
SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX - Allows the allocation of multiple
addresses for reaching a peer
(multi-homed).
sctp_connectx(3) initiates a connection
on an SCTP socket using multiple
destination addresses.
SCTP_SENDMSG_CONNECT - Initiate a connection that is generated by a
sendmsg(2) or sctp_sendmsg(3) on a new asociation.
SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR - Set local primary address.
SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR - Request peer sets address as
association primary.
SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP - These are used when Dynamic Address
SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY - Reconfiguration is enabled as explained below.
To support Dynamic Address Reconfiguration the following parameters must be
enabled on both endpoints (or use the appropriate **setsockopt**\(2))::
/proc/sys/net/sctp/addip_enable
/proc/sys/net/sctp/addip_noauth_enable
then the following *_PARAM_*'s are sent to the peer in an
ASCONF chunk when the corresponding ``@optname``'s are present::
@optname ASCONF Parameter
---------- ------------------
SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD -> SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP
SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR -> SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY
security_sctp_sk_clone()
-------------------------
Called whenever a new socket is created by **accept**\(2)
(i.e. a TCP style socket) or when a socket is 'peeled off' e.g userspace
calls **sctp_peeloff**\(3).
::
@ep - pointer to current sctp endpoint structure.
@sk - pointer to current sock structure.
@sk - pointer to new sock structure.
security_inet_conn_established()
---------------------------------
Called when a COOKIE ACK is received::
@sk - pointer to sock structure.
@skb - pointer to skbuff of the COOKIE ACK packet.
Security Hooks used for Association Establishment
=================================================
The following diagram shows the use of ``security_sctp_bind_connect()``,
``security_sctp_assoc_request()``, ``security_inet_conn_established()`` when
establishing an association.
::
SCTP endpoint "A" SCTP endpoint "Z"
================= =================
sctp_sf_do_prm_asoc()
Association setup can be initiated
by a connect(2), sctp_connectx(3),
sendmsg(2) or sctp_sendmsg(3).
These will result in a call to
security_sctp_bind_connect() to
initiate an association to
SCTP peer endpoint "Z".
INIT --------------------------------------------->
sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init()
Respond to an INIT chunk.
SCTP peer endpoint "A" is
asking for an association. Call
security_sctp_assoc_request()
to set the peer label if first
association.
If not first association, check
whether allowed, IF so send:
<----------------------------------------------- INIT ACK
| ELSE audit event and silently
| discard the packet.
|
COOKIE ECHO ------------------------------------------>
|
|
|
<------------------------------------------- COOKIE ACK
| |
sctp_sf_do_5_1E_ca |
Call security_inet_conn_established() |
to set the peer label. |
| |
| If SCTP_SOCKET_TCP or peeled off
| socket security_sctp_sk_clone() is
| called to clone the new socket.
| |
ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHED
| |
------------------------------------------------------------------
| Association Established |
