Subject: [PATCH] kmsg: Honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsg
Originally, the addition of the dmesg_restrict covered both the syslog
method of accessing dmesg, as well as /dev/kmsg itself. This was done
indirectly by security_syslog calling cap_syslog before doing any LSM
checks.
The dmesg_restrict sysctl currently covers the syslog method for access
dmesg, however /dev/kmsg isn't covered by the same protections. Most
people haven't noticed because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the
syslog method for access in older versions. With util-linux dmesg(1)
defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
However, commit 12b3052c3ee (capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog
logic to fix build failure) moved the code around and pushed the checks
into the caller itself. That seems to have inadvertently dropped the
checks for dmesg_restrict on /dev/kmsg. Most people haven't noticed
because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the syslog method for
access in older versions. With util-linux 2.22 and a kernel newer than
3.5, dmesg(1) defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
Fix this by making an explicit check in the devkmsg_open function.
Fix this by reworking all of the access methods to use the
check_syslog_permissions function and adding checks to devkmsg_open and
devkmsg_read.
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903192
