10Security Hooks
11--------------
12
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()
Ondrej Mosnacek5e50f5d2022-02-12 18:59:21 +010018 security_sctp_assoc_established()
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -080019
20The usage of these hooks are described below with the SELinux implementation
21described in the `SCTP SELinux Support`_ chapter.
22
23
24security_sctp_assoc_request()
25~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -040026Passes the ``@asoc`` and ``@chunk->skb`` of the association INIT packet to the
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -080027security module. Returns 0 on success, error on failure.
28::
29
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -040030 @asoc - pointer to sctp association structure.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -080031 @skb - pointer to skbuff of association packet.
32
33
34security_sctp_bind_connect()
35~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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).
48
49 ------------------------------------------------------------------
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 |
55 | SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR | Single ipv4 or ipv6 address |
56 ------------------------------------------------------------------
57
58 ------------------------------------------------------------------
59 | CONNECT Type Checks |
60 | @optname | @address contains |
61 |----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
62 | SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
63 | SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP | One or more ipv4 / ipv6 addresses |
64 | SCTP_SENDMSG_CONNECT | 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
Remington Brasgada51bbc2024-04-29 22:55:27 +000084 sendmsg(2) or sctp_sendmsg(3) on a new association.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -080085
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::
103
104 @optname ASCONF Parameter
105 ---------- ------------------
106 SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_ADD -> SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP
107 SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR -> SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY
108
109
110security_sctp_sk_clone()
111~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
112Called whenever a new socket is created by **accept**\(2)
113(i.e. a TCP style socket) or when a socket is 'peeled off' e.g userspace
114calls **sctp_peeloff**\(3).

142 Association setup can be initiated
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()
Ondrej Mosnacek5e50f5d2022-02-12 18:59:21 +0100199 security_sctp_assoc_established()
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800200
201
202security_sctp_assoc_request()
203~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400204Passes the ``@asoc`` and ``@chunk->skb`` of the association INIT packet to the
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800205security module. Returns 0 on success, error on failure.
206::
207
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400208 @asoc - pointer to sctp association structure.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800209 @skb - pointer to skbuff of association packet.
210
211The security module performs the following operations:
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400212 IF this is the first association on ``@asoc->base.sk``, then set the peer
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800213 sid to that in ``@skb``. This will ensure there is only one peer sid
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400214 assigned to ``@asoc->base.sk`` that may support multiple associations.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800215
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400216 ELSE validate the ``@asoc->base.sk peer_sid`` against the ``@skb peer sid``
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800217 to determine whether the association should be allowed or denied.
218
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400219 Set the sctp ``@asoc sid`` to socket's sid (from ``asoc->base.sk``) with
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800220 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 |----------------------------|-----------------------------------|

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
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400263sockets sid and peer sid to that contained in the ``@asoc sid`` and
264``@asoc peer sid`` respectively.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800265::
266
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400267 @asoc - pointer to current sctp association structure.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800268 @sk - pointer to current sock structure.
Xin Longc081d532021-11-02 08:02:47 -0400269 @newsk - pointer to new sock structure.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800270

Wan Jiabing70868c62022-02-28 10:56:41 +0800273~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800274Called when a COOKIE ACK is received where it sets the connection's peer sid
275to that in ``@skb``::
276
Ondrej Mosnacek5e50f5d2022-02-12 18:59:21 +0100277 @asoc - pointer to sctp association structure.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800278 @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
Alexander A. Klimov93431e02020-05-26 08:05:44 +0200332 set of posts tagged "netlabel" at: https://www.paul-moore.com/blog/t.
Kees Cookd61330c2019-02-17 14:08:36 -0800333
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.
