This patch is causing a bit of a problem in Fedora. The problem lies
mostly in the fact that we, by means of using SELinux, grant very very
few domains CAP_SYS_MODULE (and we record when domains attempt to use
this permission). Unlike most other distros in which uid==0 is for
all intensive purposes == CAP_FULL_SET and there is no logging of
failures to use capabilities. What happened is that as soon as we
instituted this change we started getting SELinux denials because lots
of domains (libvirt, udev, iw, NetworkManager) all the sudden started
trying to use CAP_SYS_MODULE. It took me a minute to make sure this
patch was the problem because I wasn't seeing any printk messages. I
had to make some changes to the patch to print every time a task got
into the CAP_SYS_MODULE case in order to get an idea what was causing
the problem. I found on my machine I hit the problem 3 times trying
to load "reg", "wifi0", and "virbr0" None of these are actual
modules in userspace so the upcall failed.
I'm trying to figure out how I should be dealing with this.
My first idea is changing the capable(CAP_SYS_MODULE) into a
has_capability_noaudit(). Which will not audit the access attempt.
I'm not sure I like that since it uses the read cred, it doesn't set
PF_SUPERPRIV, and it means we could likely miss recording a problem if
a task is doing this intentionally...
The next idea is I guess figuring out what's causing these and fix
them there, but I'm not certain a good way to debug it. I know from
our audit logs that wpa_supplicant is calling SIOCGIFINDEX which is
causing one of these, libvirt is calling SIOCGIFFLAGS. I'm not sure
what udev->iw is doing to trigger it's problem.....
If the name in question is not coming from direct userspace request I
guess I need help figuring out what is causing them....
So while this patch might not necessarily be breaking things it
certainly is not regression free and could potentially be breaking
systems with fine grained capabilities controls....
