key words. Deny is also used to subtract permissions from the
profiles permission set.
the audit key word can be prepended to any file, network, or capability
rule, to force a selective audit when that rule is matched. Audit
permissions accumulate just like standard permissions.
eg.
audit /bin/foo rw,
will force an audit message when the file /bin/foo is opened for
read or write.
audit /etc/shadow w,
/etc/shadow r,
will force an audit message when /etc/shadow is opened for writing.
The audit message is per permission bit so only opening the file
for read access will not, force an audit message.
audit can also be used in block form instead of prepending audit
to every rule.
audit {
/bin/foo rw,
/etc/shadow w,
}
/etc/shadow r, # don't audit r access to /etc/shadow
the deny key word can be prepended to file, network and capability
rules, to result in a denial of permissions when matching that rule.
The deny rule specifically does 3 things
- it gives AppArmor the ability to remember what has been denied
so that the tools don't prompt for what has been denied in
previous profiling sessions.
- it subtracts globally from the allowed permissions. Deny permissions
accumulate in the the deny set just as allow permissions accumulate
then, the deny set is subtracted from the allow set.
- it quiets known rejects. The default audit behavior of deny rules
is to quiet known rejects so that audit logs are not flooded
with already known rejects. To have known rejects logged prepend
the audit keyword to the deny rule. Deny rules do not have a
block form.
eg.
deny /foo/bar rw,
audit deny /etc/shadow w,
audit {
deny owner /blah w,
deny other /foo w,
deny /etc/shadow w,
}
This (updated) patch to trunk adds the m flag to the parser language. The
m flag explicitly does -not- conflict with px, ux, or ix.
It does not add exec mmap as implicit to inherited execs, as it was
asserted that the module should do this.
I have not fixed up the testcases to match.
