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.
          |

          |                                               |
    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.
