[PATCH 6/6 RFC] netfilter: add audit netns ID

Thu May 18 17:21:52 UTC 2017


Seemingly duplicate NETFILTER_CFG records are not actually exact duplicates
that are caused by netfilter table initialization in different network
namespaces from the same syscall.  To differentiate the NETFILTER_CFG records,
the network namespace ID (proc inode) was added to the record to make this
source evident.

Here is a sample event with accompanied records:
  time->Sun May 14 22:40:26 2017
  type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(1494816026.072:248): proctitle=2F7362696E2F6D6F6470726F6265002D71002D2D0065627461626C655F6E6174
  type=KERN_MODULE msg=audit(1494816026.072:248): name="ebtable_nat"
  type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1494816026.072:248): arch=c000003e syscall=313 success=yes exit=0 a0=0 a1=55c4648d4106 a2=0 a3=0 items=0 ppid=84 pid=431 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="modprobe" exe="/usr/bin/kmod" subj=system_u:system_r:insmod_t:s0 key="mod-load"
  type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(1494816026.072:248): op=register net=324 family=7 table=nat entries=0
  type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(1494816026.072:248): op=register net=121 family=7 table=nat entries=0

and unaccompanied cases:
  type=UNKNOWN[1331] msg=audit(1494815998.178:167): auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 pid=598 comm="ip6tables-resto" exe="/usr/sbin/xtables-multi" op=replace net=121 family=10 table=filter entries=4
