Subject: [PATCH ghak8 ALT4 V4 0/3] audit: show more information for entries with anonymous parents

More than one filesystem was causing hundreds to thousands of null PATH
records to be associated with the *init_module SYSCALL records on a few
modules with corresponding audit syscall rules.

This patchset adds extra information to those PATH records to provide
insight into what is generating them, including a partial pathname,
fstype field, and two new filetypes that indicate the pathname isn't
anchored at the root of the task's root filesystem.

Richard Guy Briggs (3):
audit: show partial pathname for entries with anonymous parents
audit: append new fstype field for anonymous PATH records
audit: add new filetypes CREATE_ANON and PARENT_ANON

Subject: [PATCH ghak8 ALT4 V4 1/3] audit: show partial pathname for entries with anonymous parents

Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of null PATH
records to be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL
records on a few modules when the following rule was in place for
startup:
-a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load

This happens because the parent inode is not found in the task's
audit_names list and hence treats it as anonymous. This gives us no
information other than a numerical device number for a device that may
no longer be visible upon log inspeciton, and an inode number.

Fill in the partial known pathname from the filesystem mount point to
the leaf node on previously null PATH records from entries that have an
anonymous parent from the child dentry using dentry_path_raw().

Make the dentry argument of __audit_inode_child() non-const so that we
can take a reference to it in the case of an anonymous parent with
dget() and dget_parent() to be able to later print a partial path from
the host filesystem rather than null.

Since all we are given is an inode of the parent and the dentry of the
child, finding the path from the mount point to the root of the
filesystem is more challenging that would involve searching all
vfsmounts from "/" until a matching dentry is found for that
filesystem's root dentry. Even if one is found, there may be more than
one mount point. At this point the gain seems marginal since
knowing the filesystem type and path are a significant help in tracking
down the source of the PATH records and being able to address them.

Thanks for the samples, but the event above fails the ausearch-test test
suite. The "name" field in the PATH record is not properly escaped.

The more I look at this, the more I prefer your original approach that
prefixed the relative pathname with the fstype. Yes, I do realize
that you sort of work around that by including the fstype as a new
field in the PATH records, but we're still stuck with those odd
relative/un-rooted name fields.

Further, I don't recall ever hearing a good reason why the original
approach wasn't acceptable to Steve's userspace. I know he did make
some very last minute hand-wavy comments, but none of those made any
sense to me; I don't understand why Steve's audit record parser is
even looking in the pathname string.

I'm going to park these patches in limbo for the time being.

Let me re-run the ausearch-test on the log file from the machine in
question... I don't remember if I copied the above from a recent run,
or just hand-edited the output to update it. It should be fine since it
was updated to now run through audit_log_untrustedstring().

If you need an answer right now, consider it to be "indefinitely".

They are signalled as being unrooted by the ANON filetypes. And now
that you mention it, should fail the ausearch-test since it isn't a "full
path", as claimed is necessary in ghak70 (so I don't see why the
KERN_MODULE name= record/field fails that test).

Can you give me an idea how long that might be?
