10Security Hooks
11--------------
12
72e89f50
RH
13For security module support, three SCTP specific hooks have been implemented::
14
15 security_sctp_assoc_request()
16 security_sctp_bind_connect()
17 security_sctp_sk_clone()
5e50f5d4 18 security_sctp_assoc_established()
72e89f50
RH
19
20The usage of these hooks are described below with the SELinux implementation
d61330c6 21described in the `SCTP SELinux Support`_ chapter.

24security_sctp_assoc_request()
d61330c6 25~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c081d53f 26Passes the ``@asoc`` and ``@chunk->skb`` of the association INIT packet to the
72e89f50
RH
27security module. Returns 0 on success, error on failure.
28::
29
c081d53f 30 @asoc - pointer to sctp association structure.

31 @skb - pointer to skbuff of association packet.
32
33
34security_sctp_bind_connect()
d61330c6 35~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
72e89f50
RH
36Passes one or more ipv4/ipv6 addresses to the security module for validation
37based on the ``@optname`` that will result in either a bind or connect
38service as shown in the permission check tables below.
39Returns 0 on success, error on failure.
40::
41
42 @sk - Pointer to sock structure.
43 @optname - Name of the option to validate.
44 @address - One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses.
45 @addrlen - The total length of address(s). This is calculated on each
46 ipv4 or ipv6 address using sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) or
47 sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6).

50 | BIND Type Checks |
51 | @optname | @address contains |
52 |----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
53 | SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
54 | SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |

65 | SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
66 ------------------------------------------------------------------
67
68A summary of the ``@optname`` entries is as follows::
69
70 SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD - Allows additional bind addresses to be
71 associated after (optionally) calling
72 bind(3).
73 sctp_bindx(3) adds a set of bind
74 addresses on a socket.
75
76 SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX - Allows the allocation of multiple
77 addresses for reaching a peer
78 (multi-homed).
79 sctp_connectx(3) initiates a connection
80 on an SCTP socket using multiple
81 destination addresses.
82
83 SCTP_SENDMSG_CONNECT - Initiate a connection that is generated by a
84 sendmsg(2) or sctp_sendmsg(3) on a new asociation.
85
86 SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR - Set local primary address.
87
88 SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR - Request peer sets address as
89 association primary.
90
91 SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP - These are used when Dynamic Address
92 SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY - Reconfiguration is enabled as explained below.
93
94
95To support Dynamic Address Reconfiguration the following parameters must be
96enabled on both endpoints (or use the appropriate **setsockopt**\(2))::
97
98 /proc/sys/net/sctp/addip_enable
99 /proc/sys/net/sctp/addip_noauth_enable
100
101then the following *_PARAM_*'s are sent to the peer in an
102ASCONF chunk when the corresponding ``@optname``'s are present::

143 by a connect(2), sctp_connectx(3),
144 sendmsg(2) or sctp_sendmsg(3).
145 These will result in a call to

190Security Hooks
191--------------
192
193The `SCTP LSM Support`_ chapter above describes the following SCTP security
194hooks with the SELinux specifics expanded below::
195
196 security_sctp_assoc_request()
197 security_sctp_bind_connect()
198 security_sctp_sk_clone()
5e50f5d4 199 security_sctp_assoc_established()
d61330c6
KC
200
201
202security_sctp_assoc_request()
203~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c081d53f 204Passes the ``@asoc`` and ``@chunk->skb`` of the association INIT packet to the
d61330c6
KC
205security module. Returns 0 on success, error on failure.
206::
207
c081d53f 208 @asoc - pointer to sctp association structure.
d61330c6
KC
209 @skb - pointer to skbuff of association packet.
210
211The security module performs the following operations:
c081d53f 212 IF this is the first association on ``@asoc->base.sk``, then set the peer
d61330c6 213 sid to that in ``@skb``. This will ensure there is only one peer sid
c081d53f 214 assigned to ``@asoc->base.sk`` that may support multiple associations.
d61330c6 215
c081d53f 216 ELSE validate the ``@asoc->base.sk peer_sid`` against the ``@skb peer sid``
d61330c6
KC
217 to determine whether the association should be allowed or denied.
218
c081d53f 219 Set the sctp ``@asoc sid`` to socket's sid (from ``asoc->base.sk``) with
d61330c6
KC
220 MLS portion taken from ``@skb peer sid``. This will be used by SCTP
221 TCP style sockets and peeled off connections as they cause a new socket
222 to be generated.
223
224 If IP security options are configured (CIPSO/CALIPSO), then the ip
225 options are set on the socket.
226
227
228security_sctp_bind_connect()
229~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
230Checks permissions required for ipv4/ipv6 addresses based on the ``@optname``
231as follows::
232
233 ------------------------------------------------------------------
234 | BIND Permission Checks |
235 | @optname | @address contains |
236 |----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
237 | SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
238 | SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
239 | SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
240 ------------------------------------------------------------------
241
242 ------------------------------------------------------------------
243 | CONNECT Permission Checks |
244 | @optname | @address contains |
245 |----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
246 | SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
247 | SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
248 | SCTP_SENDMSG_CONNECT | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
249 | SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
250 ------------------------------------------------------------------
251
252
253`SCTP LSM Support`_ gives a summary of the ``@optname``
254entries and also describes ASCONF chunk processing when Dynamic Address
255Reconfiguration is enabled.
256
257
258security_sctp_sk_clone()
259~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
260Called whenever a new socket is created by **accept**\(2) (i.e. a TCP style
261socket) or when a socket is 'peeled off' e.g userspace calls
262**sctp_peeloff**\(3). ``security_sctp_sk_clone()`` will set the new
c081d53f
XL
263sockets sid and peer sid to that contained in the ``@asoc sid`` and
264``@asoc peer sid`` respectively.
d61330c6
KC
265::
266
c081d53f 267 @asoc - pointer to current sctp association structure.
d61330c6 268 @sk - pointer to current sock structure.
c081d53f 269 @newsk - pointer to new sock structure.
d61330c6

270
271
5e50f5d4 272security_sctp_assoc_established()
70868c6b 273~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
d61330c6
KC
274Called when a COOKIE ACK is received where it sets the connection's peer sid
275to that in ``@skb``::
276
5e50f5d4 277 @asoc - pointer to sctp association structure.
d61330c6
KC
278 @skb - pointer to skbuff of the COOKIE ACK packet.
279
280
281Policy Statements
282-----------------
283The following class and permissions to support SCTP are available within the
284kernel::
285
286 class sctp_socket inherits socket { node_bind }
287
288whenever the following policy capability is enabled::
289
290 policycap extended_socket_class;
291
292SELinux SCTP support adds the ``name_connect`` permission for connecting
293to a specific port type and the ``association`` permission that is explained
294in the section below.
295
296If userspace tools have been updated, SCTP will support the ``portcon``
297statement as shown in the following example::
298
299 portcon sctp 1024-1036 system_u:object_r:sctp_ports_t:s0
300
301
302SCTP Peer Labeling
303------------------
304An SCTP socket will only have one peer label assigned to it. This will be
305assigned during the establishment of the first association. Any further
306associations on this socket will have their packet peer label compared to
307the sockets peer label, and only if they are different will the
308``association`` permission be validated. This is validated by checking the
309socket peer sid against the received packets peer sid to determine whether
310the association should be allowed or denied.
311
312NOTES:
313 1) If peer labeling is not enabled, then the peer context will always be
314 ``SECINITSID_UNLABELED`` (``unlabeled_t`` in Reference Policy).
315
316 2) As SCTP can support more than one transport address per endpoint
317 (multi-homing) on a single socket, it is possible to configure policy
318 and NetLabel to provide different peer labels for each of these. As the
319 socket peer label is determined by the first associations transport
320 address, it is recommended that all peer labels are consistent.
321
322 3) **getpeercon**\(3) may be used by userspace to retrieve the sockets peer
323 context.
324
325 4) While not SCTP specific, be aware when using NetLabel that if a label
326 is assigned to a specific interface, and that interface 'goes down',
327 then the NetLabel service will remove the entry. Therefore ensure that
328 the network startup scripts call **netlabelctl**\(8) to set the required
329 label (see **netlabel-config**\(8) helper script for details).
330
331 5) The NetLabel SCTP peer labeling rules apply as discussed in the following
93431e06 332 set of posts tagged "netlabel" at: https://www.paul-moore.com/blog/t.
d61330c6
KC
333
334 6) CIPSO is only supported for IPv4 addressing: ``socket(AF_INET, ...)``
335 CALIPSO is only supported for IPv6 addressing: ``socket(AF_INET6, ...)``
336
337 Note the following when testing CIPSO/CALIPSO:
338 a) CIPSO will send an ICMP packet if an SCTP packet cannot be
339 delivered because of an invalid label.
340 b) CALIPSO does not send an ICMP packet, just silently discards it.
341
342 7) IPSEC is not supported as RFC 3554 - sctp/ipsec support has not been
343 implemented in userspace (**racoon**\(8) or **ipsec_pluto**\(8)),
344 although the kernel supports SCTP/IPSEC.
