This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled audit: vfs: fix audit_inode call in O_CREAT case of do_last to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From d7026136b6a12060679f6573c441772ecd71660e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:16:32 -0400 Subject: audit: vfs: fix audit_inode call in O_CREAT case of do_last 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.
