Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 921094
Missing auditing for serial, parallel, channel, console and smartcard devices
Last modified: 2016-04-26 11:38:05 EDT
Description of problem: The current code for auditing devices on guest startup does not deal with serial, parallel, console, channel, or smartcard devices, because these were all out of scope for the initial security certification. We should aim to have 100% coverage for auditing of all devices which utilize host resources. Thus we should add auditing for these last devices. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.0.3-1.el7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure a guest with parallel, serial, console, channel and smartcard devices pointing to some host resource 2. Look fir VIRT_RESOURCE in /var/log/audit/audit.log 3. Actual results: No audit records for paralle, serial, console, channel & smartcard devices. Expected results: Additional info:
Hi Eric will this issue be solved in rhel6.4 ,do we have necessary to clone one to rhel6.4, thanks
(In reply to zhenfeng wang from comment #2) > Hi Eric > will this issue be solved in rhel6.4 ,do we have necessary to clone one to > rhel6.4, thanks It is probably too invasive to backport fixes for this to RHEL 6.4.z; I'm not even sure it is worth doing for RHEL 6.5 if there is not a customer demand yet. RHEL 7 seems sufficient for now.
Fixed upstream: commit 5bd3c73bdff0f26e7045f537ad8102138e25329d Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jul 3 12:03:41 2014 +0200 audit: Audit smartcard devices commit 994cc314442fb299a6f1cb95af603908858a6b5b Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jul 3 10:59:58 2014 +0200 audit: Add auditing for serial/parallel/channel/console character devs Add startup auditing and also hotplug auditing for said devices. $ git describe v1.2.6-55-g5bd3c73
