[PATCH v1 1/1] Add Trusted Path Execution as a stackable LSM

Sat Jun 3 05:53:51 UTC 2017
This patch was modified from Brad Spengler's Trusted Path Execution (TPE)
feature in Grsecurity and also incorporates logging ideas from
cormander's tpe-lkm.
Modifications from the Grsecurity implementation of TPE were made to
turn it into a stackable LSM using the existing LSM hook bprm_set_creds.
Also, denial messages were improved by including the full path of the
disallowed program. (This idea was taken from cormander's tpe-lkm)
Trusted Path Execution is not a new idea:
http://phrack.org/issues/52/6.html#article
| A trusted path is one that is inside is a root owned directory that
| is not group or world writable. /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, are
| (under normal circumstances) considered trusted. Any non-root
| users home directory is not trusted, nor is /tmp.
This Trusted Path Execution implementation introduces the following
Kconfig options and sysctls. These config behaviors are taken straight
from Grsecurity's implementation.
CONFIG_SECURITY_TPE (sysctl=kernel.tpe.enabled)
This option enables Trusted Path Execution. TPE blocks *untrusted*
users from executing files that meet the following conditions:
* file is not in a root-owned directory
* file is writable by a user other than root
NOTE: root is never restricted by TPE
CONFIG_SECURITY_TPE_GID (sysctl=kernel.tpe.gid)
This option defines a group id that, by default, is the untrusted group.
If a user is untrusted then it has the checks described in
CONFIG_SECURITY_TPE applied. Otherwise, the user is trusted and the
checks are not applied. Since root is never restricted by TPE, you can
effectively remove the concept of a trusted or untrusted group by
setting this value to 0.
CONFIG_SECURITY_TPE_ALL (sysctl=kernel.tpe.restrict_all)
This option applies another set of restrictions to all non-root users
even if they are trusted. This only allows execution under the
following conditions:
* file is in a directory owned by the user that is not group or
world-writable
* file is in a directory owned by root and writable only by root
CONFIG_SECURITY_TPE_INVERT (sysctl=kernel.tpe.gid_invert)
This option reverses the trust logic of the gid option and makes
kernel.tpe.gid into the trusted group. This means that all other groups
become untrusted. This sysctl is helpful when you want TPE restrictions
to apply to most of the users on the system.
Threat Models:
1. Attacker on system executing exploit on system vulnerability
* If attacker uses a binary as a part of their system exploit, TPE can
frustrate their efforts
* Issues:
* Can be bypassed by interpreted languages such as python. You can run
malicious code by doing: python -c 'evil code'
2. Attacker on system replaces binary used by a privileged user with a
malicious one
* This situation arises when administrator of a system leaves a binary
as world writable.
* TPE is very effective against this threat model
