RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 20141.  Introduction   Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems (as defined in [RFC4949]) have   been mainstreamed in modern operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD,   and Solaris.  MAC systems bind security attributes to subjects   (processes) and objects within a system.  These attributes are used   with other information in the system to make access control   decisions.   Access control models such as Unix permissions or Access Control   Lists (ACLs) are commonly referred to as Discretionary Access Control   (DAC) models.  These systems base their access decisions on user   identity and resource ownership.  In contrast, MAC models base their   access control decisions on the label on the subject (usually a   process) and the object it wishes to access.  These labels may   contain user identity information but usually contain additional   information.  In DAC systems, users are free to specify the access   rules for resources that they own.  MAC models base their security   decisions on a system-wide policy established by an administrator or   organization that the users do not have the ability to override.  DAC   systems offer some protection against unauthorized users running   malicious software.  However, even an authorized user can execute   malicious or flawed software with those programs running with the   full permissions of the user executing it.  Inversely, MAC models can   confine malicious or flawed software and usually act at a finer   granularity than their DAC counterparts.   Besides describing the requirements, this document records the   functional requirements for the client imposed by the preexisting   security models on the client.  This document may help those outside   the NFS community understand those issues.2.  Definitions   Foreign Label:  a label in a format other than the format that a MAC      implementation uses for encoding.   Label Format Specifier (LFS):  an identifier used by the client to      establish the syntactic format of the security label and the      semantic meaning of its components.   MAC-Aware:  a server that can transmit and store object labels.   MAC-Functional:  a client or server that is Labeled NFS enabled.      Such a system can interpret labels and apply policies based on the      security system.Haynes                        Informational                     [Page 3]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 2014   Multi-Level Security (MLS):  a traditional model where objects are      given a sensitivity level (Unclassified, Secret, Top Secret, etc.)      and a category set [RH_MLS].   Object:  a passive resource within the system that we wish to      protect.  Objects can be entities such as files, directories,      pipes, sockets, and many other system resources relevant to the      protection of the system state.   Policy Identifier (PI):  an optional part of the definition of a      Label Format Specifier.  The PI allows clients and servers to      identify specific security policies.   Subject:  an active entity, usually a process, that is requesting      access to an object.2.1.  Requirements Language   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].3.  Requirements   The following initial requirements have been gathered from users and   developers, and from previous development efforts in this area such   as the Distributed Trusted Operating System [DTOS] and the NSA's   experimental NFSv3 enhancements [SENFSv3].3.1.  General   A mechanism is required to provide security attribute information to   NFSv4 clients and servers.  This mechanism has the following   requirements:   (1)  Clients MUST be able to convey to the server the client's        privileges, i.e., the subject, for making the access request.        The server may provide a mechanism to enforce MAC policy based        on the requesting client's privileges.   (2)  Servers MUST be able to store and retrieve the security        attribute of exported files as requested by the client.   (3)  Servers MUST provide a mechanism for notifying clients of        attribute changes of files on the server.   (4)  Clients and Servers MUST be able to negotiate Label Formats and        provide a mechanism to translate between them as needed.Haynes                        Informational                     [Page 4]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 20143.2.  Security Services   Labeled NFS or the underlying system on which the Labeled NFS   operates MUST provide the following security services for all NFSv4.2   messaging:   o  Authentication   o  Integrity   o  Privacy   Mechanisms and algorithms used in the provision of security services   MUST be configurable so that appropriate levels of protection may be   flexibly specified per mandatory security policy.   Strong mutual authentication is required between the server and the   client for Full Mode operation (Section 4.1).   MAC security labels and any related security state MUST always be   protected by these security services when transferred over the   network, as MUST the binding of labels and state to associated   objects and subjects.   Labeled NFS SHOULD support authentication on a context granularity so   that different contexts running on a client can use different   cryptographic keys and facilities.3.3.  Label Encoding, Label Format Specifiers, and Label Checking      Authorities   Encoding of MAC labels and attributes passed over the network MUST be   specified in a complete and unambiguous manner while maintaining the   flexibility of MAC implementations.  To accomplish this, the labels   MUST consist of a format-specific component bound with a Label Format   Specifier (LFS).  The LFS component provides a mechanism for   identifying the structure and semantics of the opaque component.   Meanwhile, the opaque component is the security label that will be   interpreted by the MAC models.   MAC models base access decisions on security attribute privileges   bound to subjects and objects, respectively.  With a given MAC model,   all systems have semantically coherent labeling -- a security label   MUST always mean exactly the same thing on every system.  While this   may not be necessary for simple MAC models, it is recommended that   most Label Formats assigned an LFS incorporate semantically coherent   labeling into their Label Format.Haynes                        Informational                     [Page 5]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 2014   Labeled NFS SHOULD define an initial negotiation scheme with the   primary aims of simplicity and completeness.  This is to facilitate   practical deployment of systems without being weighed down by complex   and overgeneralized global schemes.  Future extensibility SHOULD also   be taken into consideration.   Labeled NFS MUST provide a means for servers and clients to identify   their LFSs for the purposes of authorization, security service   selection, and security label interpretation.   Labeled NFS MUST provide a means for servers and clients to identify   their mode of operation (seeSection 4).   A negotiation scheme SHOULD be provided, allowing systems from   different Label Formats to agree on how they will interpret or   translate each other's foreign labels.  Multiple concurrent   agreements may be current between a server and a client.   All security labels and related security state transferred across the   network MUST be tagged with a valid LFS.   If the LFS supported on a system changes, the system SHOULD   renegotiate agreements to reflect these changes.   If a system receives any security label or security state tagged with   an LFS it does not recognize or cannot interpret, it MUST reject that   label or state.   NFSv4.2 includes features that may cause a client to cross an LFS   boundary when accessing what appears to be a single file system.  If   LFS negotiation is supported by the client and the server, the server   SHOULD negotiate a new, concurrent agreement with the client, acting   on behalf of the externally located source of the files.3.4.  Labeling   Implementations MUST validate security labels supplied over the   network to ensure that they are within a set of labels permitted from   a specific peer and, if not, reject them.  Note that a system may   permit a different set of labels to be accepted from each peer.3.4.1.  Client Labeling   At the client, labeling semantics for NFS mounted file systems MUST   remain consistent with those for locally mounted file systems.  In   particular, user-level labeling operations local to the client MUST   be enacted locally via existing APIs, to ensure compatibility and   consistency for applications and libraries.Haynes                        Informational                     [Page 6]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 2014   Note that this does not imply any specific mechanism for conveying   labels over the network.   When an object is newly created by the client, it will calculate the   label for the object based on its policy.  Once that is done, it will   send the request to the server, which has the ability to deny the   creation of the object with that label based on the server's policy.   In creating the file, the server MUST ensure that the label is bound   to the object before the object becomes visible to the rest of the   system.  This ensures that any access control or further labeling   decisions are correct for the object.3.4.2.  Server Labeling   The server MUST provide the capability for clients to retrieve   security labels on all exported file system objects where possible.   This includes cases where only in-core and/or read-only security   labels are available at the server for any of its exported file   systems.   The server MUST honor the ability for a client to specify the label   of an object on creation.  If the server is MAC enabled, it may   choose to reject the label specified by the client, due to   restrictions in the server policy.  The server SHOULD NOT attempt to   find a suitable label for an object in the event of different   labeling rules on its end.  The server is allowed to translate the   label but MUST NOT change the semantic meaning of the label.3.5.  Policy Enforcement   The MAC-Functional client determines if a process request is sent to   the remote server.  Upon a successful response from the server, it   must use its own policies on the object's security labels to   determine if the process can be given access.  The client SHOULD NOT   need to be cognizant of whether the server is a Limited Server or is   fully MAC-Functional.3.5.1.  Client Enforcement   The client MUST apply its own policy to remotely located objects,   using security labels for the objects obtained from the server.  It   MUST be possible to configure the maximum length of time a client may   cache state regarding remote labels before revalidating that state   with the server.Haynes                        Informational                     [Page 7]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 2014   If the server's policy changes, the client MUST flush all object   state back to the server.  The server MUST ensure that any flushed   state received is consistent with current policy before committing it   to stable storage.   Any local security state associated with cached or delegated objects   MUST also be flushed back to the server when any other state of the   objects is required to be flushed back.   The implication here is that if the client holds a delegation on an   object, then it enforces policy to local changes based on the object   label it got from the server.  When it tries to commit those changes   to the server, it SHOULD be prepared for the server to reject those   changes based on the policies of the server.3.5.2.  Server Enforcement   A MAC-Functional server MUST enforce its security policy over all   exported objects, for operations that originate both locally and   remotely.   Requests from authenticated clients MUST be processed using security   labels and credentials supplied by the client as if they originated   locally.   As with labeling, the system MUST also take into account any other   volatile client security state, such as a change in process security   context via dynamic transition.  Access decisions SHOULD also be made   based upon the current client security label accessing the object,   rather than the security label that opened it, if different.   The server SHOULD recall delegation of an object if the object's   security label changes.3.6.  Namespace Access   The server SHOULD provide a means to authorize selective access to   the exported file system namespace based upon client credentials and   according to security policy.   This is a common requirement of MLS-enabled systems, which often need   to present selective views of namespaces based upon the clearances of   the subjects.Haynes                        Informational                     [Page 8]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 20143.7.  Upgrading Existing Server   Note that under the MAC model, all objects MUST have labels.   Therefore, if an existing server is upgraded to include Labeled NFS   support, then it is the responsibility of the security system to   define the behavior for existing objects.4.  Modes of Operation   In a Labeled NFS client and server interaction, we can describe three   modes of operation:   1.  Full   2.  Limited Server   3.  Guest   These modes arise from the level of MAC functionality in the clients   and servers.  The clients can be non-MAC-Functional and   MAC-Functional.  The servers can be non-MAC-Functional, MAC-Aware,   and MAC-Functional.   A MAC-Functional client MUST be able to determine the level of MAC   functionality in the server.  Likewise, a MAC-Functional server MUST   be able to determine whether or not a client is MAC-Functional.  As   discussed inSection 3.3, the protocol MUST provide for the client   and server to make those determinations.4.1.  Full Mode   The server and the client have mutually recognized MAC functionality   enabled, and full Labeled NFS functionality is extended over the   network between both client and server.   An example of an operation in Full Mode is as follows.  On the   initial lookup, the client requests access to an object on the   server.  It sends its process security context over to the server.   The server checks all relevant policies to determine if that process   context from that client is allowed to access the resource.  Once   this has succeeded, the object, with its associated security   information, is released to the client.  Once the client receives the   object, it determines if its policies allow the process running on   the client access to the object.Haynes                        Informational                     [Page 9]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 2014   On subsequent operations where the client already has a handle for   the file, the order of enforcement is reversed.  Since the client   already has the security context, it may make an access decision   against its policy first.  This enables the client to avoid sending   requests to the server that it knows will fail, regardless of the   server's policy.  If the client passes its policy checks, then it   sends the request to the server, where the client's process context   is used to determine if the server will release that resource to the   client.  If both checks pass, the client is given the resource and   everything succeeds.   In the event that the client does not trust the server, it may opt to   use an alternate labeling mechanism, regardless of the server's   ability to return security information.4.2.  Limited Server Mode   The server is MAC-Aware, and the clients are MAC-Functional.  The   server can store and transmit labels.  It cannot enforce labels.  The   server MUST inform clients when an object label changes for a file   the client has open.   In this mode, the server may not be aware of the format of any of its   object labels.  Indeed, it may service several different security   models at the same time.  A client MUST process foreign labels as   discussed inSection 3.3.  As with the Guest Mode, this mode's level   of trust can be degraded if non-MAC-Functional clients have access to   the server.4.3.  Guest Mode   Only one of the server or client is MAC-Functional enabled.   In the case of the server only being MAC-Functional, the server   enforces its policy and may selectively provide standard NFS services   to clients based on their authentication credentials and/or   associated network attributes (e.g., IP address, network interface)   according to security policy.  The level of trust and access extended   to a client in this mode is configuration-specific.   In the case of the client only being MAC-Functional, the client MUST   operate as a standard NFSv4.2 (see [NFSv4_2]) client and SHOULD   selectively provide processes access to servers based upon the   security attributes of the local process, and network attributes of   the server, according to policy.  The client may also override   default labeling of the remote file system based upon these security   attributes or other labeling methods such as mount point labeling.Haynes                        Informational                    [Page 10]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 2014   In other words, the Guest Mode is standard NFSv4.2 over the wire,   with the MAC-Functional system mapping the non-MAC-Functional   system's processes or objects to security labels based on other   characteristics in order to preserve its MAC guarantees.5.  Use Cases   MAC labeling is meant to allow NFSv4.2 to be deployed in site-   configurable security schemes.  The LFS and opaque data scheme allows   for flexibility to meet these different implementations.  In this   section, we provide some examples of how NFSv4.2 could be deployed to   meet existing needs.  This is not an exhaustive listing.5.1.  Full MAC Labeling Support for Remotely Mounted File Systems   In this case, we assume a local networked environment where the   servers and clients are under common administrative control.  All   systems in this network have the same MAC implementation and   semantically identical MAC security labels for objects (i.e., labels   mean the same thing on different systems, even if the policies on   each system may differ to some extent).  Clients will be able to   apply fine-grained MAC policy to objects accessed via NFS mounts and   thus improve the overall consistency of MAC policy application within   this environment.   An example of this case would be where user home directories are   remotely mounted, and fine-grained MAC policy is implemented to   protect, for example, private user data from being read by malicious   web scripts running in the user's browser.  With Labeled NFS, fine-   grained MAC labeling of the user's files will allow the MAC policy to   be implemented and provide the desired protection.5.2.  MAC Labeling of Virtual Machine Images Stored on the Network   Virtualization is now a commonly implemented feature of modern   operating systems, and there is a need to ensure that MAC security   policy is able to protect virtualized resources.  A common   implementation scheme involves storing virtualized guest file systems   on a networked server; these file systems are then mounted remotely   by guests upon instantiation.  In this case, there is a need to   ensure that the local guest kernel is able to access fine-grained MAC   labels on the remotely mounted file system so that its MAC security   policy can be applied.Haynes                        Informational                    [Page 11]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 20145.3.  Simple Security Label Storage   In this case, a mixed and loosely administered network is assumed,   where nodes may be running a variety of operating systems with   different security mechanisms and security policies.  It is desired   that network file servers be simply capable of storing and retrieving   MAC security labels for clients that use such labels.  The Labeled   NFS protocol would be implemented here solely to enable transport of   MAC security labels across the network.  It should be noted that in   such an environment, overall security cannot be as strongly enforced   as when the server is also enforcing and that this scheme is aimed at   allowing MAC-capable clients to function with its MAC security policy   enabled rather than perhaps disabling it entirely.5.4.  Diskless Linux   A number of popular operating system distributions depend on a   Mandatory Access Control (MAC) model to implement a kernel-enforced   security policy.  Typically, such models assign particular roles to   individual processes, which limit or permit performing certain   operations on a set of files, directories, sockets, or other objects.   While the enforcing of the policy is typically a matter for the   diskless NFS client itself, the file system objects in such models   will typically carry MAC labels that are used to define policy on   access.  These policies may, for instance, describe privilege   transitions that cannot be replicated using standard NFS ACL-based   models.   For instance, on a SYSV-compatible system (see [SYSV]), if the 'init'   process spawns a process that attempts to start the 'NetworkManager'   executable, there may be a policy that sets up a role transition if   the 'init' process and 'NetworkManager' file labels match a   particular rule.  Without this role transition, the process may find   itself having insufficient privileges to perform its primary job of   configuring network interfaces.   In setups of this type, a lot of the policy targets (such as sockets   or privileged system calls) are entirely local to the client.  The   use of RPCSEC_GSSv3 ([RPC_SEC]) for enforcing compliance at the   server level is therefore of limited value.  The ability to   permanently label files and have those labels read back by the client   is, however, crucial to the ability to enforce that policy.Haynes                        Informational                    [Page 12]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 20145.5.  Multi-Level Security   In an MLS system, objects are generally assigned a sensitivity level   and a set of compartments.  The sensitivity levels within the system   are given an order ranging from lowest to highest classification   level.  Read access to an object is allowed when the sensitivity   level of the subject "dominates" the object it wants to access.  This   means that the sensitivity level of the subject is higher than that   of the object it wishes to access and that its set of compartments is   a superset of the compartments on the object.   The rest of this section will just use sensitivity levels.  In   general, the example is a client that wishes to list the contents of   a directory.  The system defines the sensitivity levels as   Unclassified (U), Secret (S), and Top Secret (TS).  The directory to   be searched is labeled Top Secret, which means access to read the   directory will only be granted if the subject making the request is   also labeled Top Secret.5.5.1.  Full Mode - MAC-Functional Client and Server   In the first part of this example, a process on the client is running   at the Secret level.  The process issues a readdir() system call,   which enters the kernel.  Before translating the readdir() system   call into a request to the NFSv4.2 server, the host operating system   will consult the MAC module to see if the operation is allowed.   Since the process is operating at Secret and the directory to be   accessed is labeled Top Secret, the MAC module will deny the request   and an error code is returned to user space.   Consider a second case where instead of running at Secret the process   is running at Top Secret.  In this case, the sensitivity of the   process is equal to or greater than that of the directory, so the MAC   module will allow the request.  Now the readdir() is translated into   the necessary NFSv4.2 call to the server.  For the remote procedure   call (RPC) request, the client is using the proper credential to   assert to the server that the process is running at Top Secret.   When the server receives the request, it extracts the security label   from the RPC session and retrieves the label on the directory.  The   server then checks with its MAC module to see if a Top Secret process   is allowed to read the contents of the Top Secret directory.  Since   this is allowed by the policy, then the server will return the   appropriate information back to the client.Haynes                        Informational                    [Page 13]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 2014   In this example, the policy on both the client and server is the   same.  In the event that they were running different policies, a   translation of the labels might be needed.  In this case, it could be   possible for a check to pass on the client and fail on the server.   The server may consider additional information when making its policy   decisions.  For example, the server could determine that a certain   subnet is only cleared for data up to Secret classification.  If that   constraint was in place for the example above, the client would still   succeed, but the server would fail, since the client is asserting a   label that it is not able to use (Top Secret on a Secret network).5.5.2.  MAC-Functional Client   In these scenarios, the server is either non-MAC-Aware or MAC-Aware.   The actions of the client will depend on whether it is configured to   treat the MAC-Aware server in the same manner as the non-MAC-Aware   one.  That is, does it utilize the approach presented inSection 4.3,   or does it allow the MAC-Aware server to return labels?   With a client that is MAC-Functional and using the example in the   previous section, the result should be the same.  The one difference   is that all decisions are made on the client.5.5.2.1.  MAC-Aware Server   A process on the client labeled Secret wishes to access a directory   labeled Top Secret on the server.  This is denied, since Secret does   not dominate Top Secret.  Note that there will be NFSv4.2 operations   issued that return an object label for the client to process.   Note that in this scenario, all of the clients must be   MAC-Functional.  A single client that does not do its access control   checks would violate the model.5.5.2.2.  Non-MAC-Aware Server   A process on the client labeled Secret wishes to access a directory   that the client's policies label as Top Secret on the server.  This   is denied, since Secret does not dominate Top Secret.  Note that   there will not be NFSv4.2 operations issued.  If the process had a   Top Secret process label instead of Secret, the client would issue   NFSv4.2 operations to access the directory on the server.Haynes                        Informational                    [Page 14]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 20145.5.3.  MAC-Functional Server   With a MAC-Functional server and a client that is not, the client   behaves as if it were in a normal NFSv4.2 environment.  Since the   process on the client does not provide a security attribute, the   server must define a mechanism for labeling all requests from a   client.  Assume that the server is using the same criteria used in   the first example.  The server sees the request as coming from a   subnet that is a Secret network.  The server determines that all   clients on that subnet will have their requests labeled with Secret.   Since the directory on the server is labeled Top Secret and Secret   does not dominate Top Secret, the server would fail the request with   NFS4ERR_ACCESS.6.  Security Considerations6.1.  Trust Needed for a Community   Labeled NFS is a transport mechanism for labels, a storage   requirement for labels, and a definition of how to interpret labels.   It defines the responsibilities of the client and the server in the   various permutations of being MAC-Functional.  It does not, however,   dictate in any manner whether assumptions can be made about other   entities in the relationship.  For example, it does not define   whether a MAC-Functional client can demand that a MAC-Aware server   only accept requests from other MAC-Functional clients.  That is a   policy based on a MAC model, and this document does not impose   policies on systems.   As the requirement is a policy, it can be met with the use of a MAC   model.  Let L be an LFS that implements the Limited Server mode,   i.e., a MAC-Aware server connected to MAC-Functional clients.  Then   a new LFS, L', can be created that has the additional policy that   the MAC-Aware server MUST NOT accept any requests from a   non-MAC-Functional client.6.2.  Guest Mode   When either the client or server is operating in Guest Mode, it is   important to realize that one side is not enforcing MAC protections.   Alternate methods are being used to handle the lack of MAC support,   and care should be taken to identify and mitigate threats from   possible tampering outside of these methods.Haynes                        Informational                    [Page 15]

RFC 7204                      ReqLabeledNFS                   April 20146.3.  MAC-Functional Client Configuration   We defined a MAC model as an access control decision made on a system   in which normal users do not have the ability to override policies   (seeSection 1).  If the process labels are created solely on the   client, then if a malicious user has sufficient access on that   client, the Labeled NFS model is compromised.  Note that this is no   different from:   o  current implementations in which the server uses policies to      effectively determine the object label for requests from the      client, or   o  local decisions made on the client by the MAC security system.   Either the server must explicitly trust the client (as in [SENFSv3])   or the MAC model should enforce that users cannot override policies,   perhaps via an externally managed source.   Once the labels leave the client, they can be protected by the   transport mechanism as described inSection 3.2.7.  References7.1.
