history notes since the last import: OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 14 - Fix endian issues when processing IPv6 addresses for extended subject and process tokens. - gcc41 warnings clean. - Teach audit_submit(3) about getaudit_addr(2). - Add support for zonename tokens. OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 13 - compat/clock_gettime.h now provides a compatibility implementation of clock_gettime(), which fixes building on Mac OS X. - Countless man page improvements, markup fixes, content fixs, etc. - XML printing support via "praudit -x". - audit.log.5 expanded to include additional BSM token types. - Added encoding and decoding routines for process64_ex, process32_ex, subject32_ex, header64, and attr64 tokens. - Additional audit event identifiers for listen, mlockall/munlockall, getpath, POSIX message queues, and mandatory access control.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These interfaces allow applications to allocate audit records, construct a
|
|
record using a series of tokens, and commit the audit record to the system
|
|
event log.
|
|
An extension API is also provided to commit the record to an in-memory
|
|
buffer rather than the system audit log.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn au_open
|
|
interface allocates a new audit record descriptor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn au_write
|
|
interface adds a token to an allocated audit descriptor.
|
|
When a token has been successfully added to a record, the caller no longer
|
|
owns the token memory, and does not need to free it directly via a call to
|
|
.Xr au_free_token 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn au_close
|
|
function is used to commit an audit record to the system audit log, or
|
|
abandon the record.
|
|
In either cases, all resources associated with the record will be released.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa keep
|
|
argument determines the behavior: a value of
|
|
.Dv AU_TO_WRITE
|
|
causes the record to be committed; a value of
|
|
.Dv AU_TO_NO_WRITE
|
|
causes it to be abandoned.
|
|
When the audit record is committed, a BSM header will be inserted before
|
|
tokens added to the record, using the event identifier passed via
|
|
.Fa event ,
|
|
and a trailer added to the end.
|
|
Committing a record to the system audit log requires privilege.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn au_close_buffer
|
|
function writes the resulting record to an in-memory buffer of size
|
|
.Fa *buflen ;
|
|
it will write back the filled buffer length into the same variable.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa event
|
|
is the event identifier to use in the record header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn au_close_token
|
|
function generates the BSM stream output for a single token,
|
|
.Fa tok ,
|
|
in the passed buffer
|
|
.Fa buffer .
|
|
The initial buffer size and resulting data size are passed via
|
|
.Fa *buflen .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn au_close_token
|
|
function
|
|
will free the token before returning.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn au_open
|
|
returns a non-negative audit record descriptor number on success, or a
|
|
negative value on failure, along with error information in
|
|
.Va errno .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
|
|
division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
|
|
It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
|
|
the OpenBSM distribution.

|

.Pp
|
|
The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
|
|
stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Currently,
|
|
.Fn au_open
|
|
does not reserve kernel resources necessary to commit the record to the
|
|
trail; on systems supporting
|
|
.Fn au_close ,
|
|
the call will block until resources are available to commit the record.
|
|
However, this leads to the possibility of an action being permitted without
|
|
the record being guaranteed to go to disk.
|
|
Ideally,
|
|
.Fn au_open
|
|
would reserve resources necessary to commit any submitted record, releasing
|
|
them on
|
|
.Fn au_close .
