Add grantor field to audit records

[Tomas Mraz]

Hi,

this patch modifies the audit records of libpam to add a grantor field.
This field records in case of the successful authentication (or any
other successful pam module call) that the module granted the access.
The PAM_SUCCESS return is recorded only for cases where the module
really contributed to the access being granted. That means that if the
action for success is different from ok and done, the module is not
recorded.

Please review, thanks,

Ping? Had anybody chance to review the patch?

Ping again? If nobody speaks up, I'd like to commit this patch soon.

There are minor issues with some hunks of the patch, but I'd like to
review it as a whole, and it takes time.  Could it wait a bit more, say,
till the end of this week?

Yes, sure, I just wanted to know whether anyone is looking at it.

Would you have the time for the review now?

First of all, libpam/pam_audit.c must include "pam_private.h" prior to all
other header files, otherwise some vital system header files are included
before config.h

minor: no need to initialize buf before passing it to asprintf:
buf can be relied upon iff asprintf succeeded.

minor: this is exactly the case where a "for" expression is more suitable.

major: please check for len == 0, otherwise you'll sooner or later end up
with malloc(0) with subsequent garbage passed to asprintf.  All you need
to reproduce this is an almost empty auth stack like this
auth	[success=1 default=ignore]	pam_permit.so
auth	required			pam_permit.so
and an application that calls pam_setcred without pam_authenticate
(as sshd often does).

minor: this is another case where a "for" expression would be appropriate.

Since there are no grantors when retval != PAM_SUCCESS, we can make
_pam_list_grantors simpler and save on extra asprintf/free by calling
_pam_list_grantors only if retval == PAM_SUCCESS.

No need to print "grantor=?" when there are no grantors.

Technically, this is the only place where grantor has to be set,
but in practice there are many configs like
auth	[success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so ...
auth	required pam_something_else.so

In such cases, actual grantors like pam_unix will not be registered
because technically they are not grantors.

A workaround is to rewrite configs this way:
auth	[success=ok default=1] pam_unix.so ...
auth	[success=1] pam_permit.so
auth	required pam_something_else.so

Actually this cannot happen because with your configuration the retval
passed in will not be PAM_SUCCESS. The default return value is
PAM_PERM_DENIED and it is not changed on jumps - that means the
success=1 will not change it to PAM_SUCCESS. Nevertheless I'll add the
check for len == 0 as a defensive programming measure.

This was explicitly requested to make the audit record more orthogonal.
So I will keep it as is.

As I wrote above the first configuration requires some grantor module
after the pam_something_else.so anyway, otherwise the stack will still
keep the PAM_PERM_DENIED initial value. So the pam_unix.so is not really
grantor in the first case.

Still there is a slight chance of _pam_list_grantors returning NULL, so
there would be two kinds of messages, with and without mentioning
grantors, anyway.  For me "grantor=?" in the case when there are no
grantors just looks confusing.

In that case, Steve Grubb has requested something like "grantor=(none)"
so that there are no disappearing fields in audit records.

No, mod_name can be almost anything, including "?", "(none)", and even
"".
It doesn't contain spaces, though, so "grantor= " would be less confusing,
but how you are going to distinguish "grantor=" (grantor is a module
called ".so") from "grantor= " (no grantors) is beyond my
imagination.

Well at least the pam module name cannot be /.so but grantor=/ could be
confusing as well. I'll stick with the original grantor=? as supporting
module named ?.so is something we do not really have to :).

So, I'll rather change the patch so there is no possibility of the
message not having the grantor field than remove the grantor=? case
completely.

The attached patch should contain this change and all the other minor
corrections.

Well, I've never had a module named ?.so before, but I have it now,
and it works perfectly well. :)

OK, maybe call it "/?", so that the name will be distinguishable from
supported module names?

Could you kindly make this expression more readable, please?

And this one, too.

Do you accept just whitespace changes or do you want me also to replace
the ? expressions with ifs and variable assignments?

No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.

Whatever you like, just don't make new lines too long or too dense to read.

But should it? What if we rejected such module name explicitly? Would
you accept that?

As we don't pass mod_name to glob(3), fnmatch(3), wordexp(3), etc.,
there is no risk to accept a module named "?.so".
So what would be the rationale for this change?

Does "?.so" look too suspicious for a valid pam module name? :)

That it confuses the audit trail?

And that as well.
