3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jeff Layton <jlay...@redhat.com>
commit 33e2208acfc15ce00d3dd13e839bf6434faa2b04 upstream.
Jiri reported a regression in auditing of open(..., O_CREAT) syscalls.
In older kernels, creating a file with open(..., O_CREAT) created
audit_name records that looked like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=1 name="/abc/foo" inode=138810
dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=0 name="/abc/" inode=138635
dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
...in recent kernels though, they look like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=2 name=(null) inode=264599
dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=1 name=(null) inode=264598
dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=0 name="/abc/foo" inode=264598
dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
Richard bisected to determine that the problems started with commit
bfcec708, but the log messages have changed with some later
audit-related patches.
The problem is that this audit_inode call is passing in the parent of
the dentry being opened, but audit_inode is being called with the parent
flag false. This causes later audit_inode and audit_inode_child calls to
match the wrong entry in the audit_names list.
This patch simply sets the flag to properly indicate that this inode
represents the parent. With this, the audit_names entries are back to
looking like they did before.
