Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix for IPsec leakage with SELinux enabled - V.03

From: Venkat Yekkirala <[email-masked]>

From: James Morris <[email-masked]>

When a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the 
security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return an access denied permission 
(or other error).  We were not handling that correctly, and in fact 
inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to 
xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not 
associated with an xfrm policy.

The way I was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a 
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the 
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.

The first SYNACK would be blocked, because of an uncached lookup via 
flow_cache_lookup(), which would fail to resolve an xfrm policy because 
the SELinux policy is checked at that point via the resolver.

However, retransmitted SYNACKs would then find a cached flow entry when 
calling into flow_cache_lookup() with a null xfrm policy, which is 
interpreted by xfrm_lookup() as the packet not having any associated 
policy and similarly to the first case, allowing it to pass without 
transformation.

The solution presented here is to first ensure that errno values are 
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains 
from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly.

Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver 
fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow 
cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which 
indicates that the packet can pass freely).  This also forces any future 
lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux) 
for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the 
flow cache entry).
