Some Veriexec stuff that's been rotting in my tree for months. Bug fixes: - Fix crash reported by Scott Ellis on current-users@. - Fix race conditions in enforcing the Veriexec rename and remove policies. These are NOT security issues. - Fix memory leak in rename handling when overwriting a monitored file. - Fix table deletion logic. - Don't prevent query requests if not in learning mode. KPI updates: - fileassoc_table_run() now takes a cookie to pass to the callback. - veriexec_table_add() was removed, it is now done internally. As a result, there's no longer a need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE. - veriexec_report() was removed, it is now internal. - Perform sanity checks on the entry type, and enforce default type in veriexec_file_add() rather than in veriexecctl. - Add veriexec_flush(), used to delete all Veriexec tables, and veriexec_dump(), used to fill an array with all Veriexec entries. New features: - Add a '-k' flag to veriexecctl, to keep the filenames in the kernel database. This allows Veriexec to produce slightly more accurate logs under certain circumstances. In the future, this can be either replaced by vnode->pathname translation, or combined with it. - Add a VERIEXEC_DUMP ioctl, to dump the entire Veriexec database. This can be used to recover a database if the file was lost. Example usage: # veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures Note that only entries with the filename kept (that is, were loaded with the '-k' flag) will be dumped. Idea from Brett Lymn. - Add a VERIEXEC_FLUSH ioctl, to delete all Veriexec entries. Sample usage: # veriexecctl flush - Add a 'veriexec_flags' rc(8) variable, and make its default have the '-k' flag. On systems using the default signatures file (generaetd from running 'veriexecgen' with no arguments), this will use additional 32kb of kernel memory on average. - Add a '-e' flag to veriexecctl, to evaluate the fingerprint during load. This is done automatically for files marked as 'untrusted'. Misc. stuff: - The code for veriexecctl was massively simplified as a result of eliminating the need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE, and now uses a single pass of the signatures file, making the loading somewhat faster. - Lots of minor fixes found using the (still under development) Veriexec regression testsuite. - Some of the messages Veriexec prints were improved. - Various documentation fixes. All relevant man-pages were updated to reflect the above changes. Binary compatibility with existing veriexecctl binaries is maintained.

The following flags are allowed with this command:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl e
Evaluate fingerprint on load, as opposed to when the file is accessed.
.It Fl k
Keep the filenames in the entry for more accurate logging.
.It Fl v
Enable verbose output.

KPI updates: - fileassoc_table_run() now takes a cookie to pass to the callback. - veriexec_table_add() was removed, it is now done internally. As a result, there's no longer a need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE. - veriexec_report() was removed, it is now internal. - Perform sanity checks on the entry type, and enforce default type in veriexec_file_add() rather than in veriexecctl. - Add veriexec_flush(), used to delete all Veriexec tables, and veriexec_dump(), used to fill an array with all Veriexec entries. New features: - Add a '-k' flag to veriexecctl, to keep the filenames in the kernel database. This allows Veriexec to produce slightly more accurate logs under certain circumstances. In the future, this can be either replaced by vnode->pathname translation, or combined with it. - Add a VERIEXEC_DUMP ioctl, to dump the entire Veriexec database. This can be used to recover a database if the file was lost. Example usage: # veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures Note that only entries with the filename kept (that is, were loaded with the '-k' flag) will be dumped. Idea from Brett Lymn. - Add a VERIEXEC_FLUSH ioctl, to delete all Veriexec entries. Sample usage: # veriexecctl flush - Add a 'veriexec_flags' rc(8) variable, and make its default have the '-k' flag. On systems using the default signatures file (generaetd from running 'veriexecgen' with no arguments), this will use additional 32kb of kernel memory on average. - Add a '-e' flag to veriexecctl, to evaluate the fingerprint during load. This is done automatically for files marked as 'untrusted'. Misc. stuff: - The code for veriexecctl was massively simplified as a result of eliminating the need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE, and now uses a single pass of the signatures file, making the loading somewhat faster. - Lots of minor fixes found using the (still under development) Veriexec regression testsuite. - Some of the messages Veriexec prints were improved. - Various documentation fixes. All relevant man-pages were updated to reflect the above changes. Binary compatibility with existing veriexecctl binaries is maintained.

The kernel is expected to have the
.Dq veriexec
pseudo-device.
