It provides a monad, 'LIO', -- that is intended to be used as a replacement for the IO monad in -- untrusted code. The idea is for untrusted code to provide a -- computation in the 'LIO' monad, which trusted code can then safely -- execute through the 'evalLIO' function. (Though usually a wrapper -- function is employed depending on the type of labels used by an -- application. For example, with "LIO.DCLabel", you would use -- 'evalDC' to execute an untrusted computation. There are also -- abbreviations for the 'LIO' monad type of a particular -- label--for instance 'DC'.) -- -- A data structure 'Labeled' (labeled value) protects access to pure -- values. Without the appropriate privileges, one cannot produce a -- pure value that depends on a secret 'Labeled', or conversely produce a -- high-integrity 'Labeled' based on pure data. The function 'toLabeled' -- allows one to seal off the results of an LIO computation inside an -- 'Labeled' without tainting the current flow of execution. 'unlabel' -- conversely allows one to use the value stored within a 'Labeled'. -- -- We note that using 'toLabeled' is /not/ safe with respect to -- the termination covert channel. Specifically, LIO with 'toLabeled' -- is only termination-insensitive non-interfering. For a -- termination-sensitive 'toLabeled'-like function, see "LIO.Concurrent". -- -- Any code that imports this module is part of the -- /Trusted Computing Base/ (TCB) of the system. Hence, untrusted -- code must be prevented from importing this module. The exported -- symbols ending @...TCB@ can be used to violate label protections -- even from within pure code or the LIO Monad. A safe subset of -- these symbols is exported by the "LIO.Safe" module, which is how -- untrusted code should access the core label functionality. -- ("LIO.Safe" is also re-exported by "LIO", the main gateway to -- this library.) -- module LIO.TCB (-- * Basic Label Functions -- $labels Label(..) -- * Basic Privilige Functions -- $privs , Priv(..), NoPrivs(..) , getPrivileges, withPrivileges , withCombinedPrivs -- * Labeled IO Monad (LIO) -- $LIO , LIO, LabelState , evalLIO, runLIO , newState , getLabel, setLabelP , getClearance, lowerClr, lowerClrP , withClearance -- * Labeled Values , Labeled , labelOf , label, labelP , unlabel, unlabelP , taintLabeled , toLabeled, toLabeledP, discard, discardP -- ** LIO Guards -- $guards , taint, taintP , wguard, wguardP , aguard, aguardP -- * Labeled Exceptions -- $lexception -- ** Exception type thrown by LIO library , LabelFault(..) -- ** Throwing and Catching Labeled Exceptions -- $throw , LabeledException(..) , MonadCatch(..) , catchP, handleP , onExceptionP, bracketP , evaluate -- * Unsafe (TCB) Operations -- ** Basic Label Functions , PrivTCB, MintTCB(..) -- ** Labeled IO Monad (LIO) , LIOstate(..) , getTCB, putTCB , setLabelTCB, lowerClrTCB -- ** Labeled Values , ShowTCB(..), ReadTCB(..) , labelTCB, unlabelTCB -- ** Labeled Exceptions , catchTCB, OnExceptionTCB(..) , ioTCB, rtioTCB ) where #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 702 import safe Prelude hiding (catch) import safe Control.Exception hiding (catch, handle, throw, throwIO, onException, block, unblock, evaluate) import safe qualified Control.Exception as E import safe Data.Monoid import safe Data.Typeable import safe Data.Functor import safe Control.Applicative import safe Text.Read (minPrec) import safe LIO.MonadCatch #else import Prelude hiding (catch) import qualified Control.Exception as E import Data.Monoid import Data.Typeable import Data.Functor import Control.Applicative import Text.Read (minPrec) import LIO.MonadCatch #endif import Control.Monad.Error import Control.Monad.State.Lazy hiding (put, get) --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Basic label functions -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- {- $labels Labels are a way of describing who can observe and modify data. There is a partial order, generally pronounced \"can flow to\" on labels. In Haskell we write this partial order ``leq`` (in the literature it is usually written as ⊑). The idea is that data labeled @L_1@ should affect data labeled @L_2@ only if @L_1@ ``leq`` @L_2@, (i.e., @L_1@ /can flow to/ @L_2@). The 'LIO' monad keeps track of the current label of the executing code (accessible via the 'getLabel' function). Code may attempt to perform various IO or memory operations on labeled data. Touching data may change the current label (or throw an exception if an operation would violate can-flow-to restrictions). If the current label is @L_cur@, then it is only permissible to read data labeled @L_r@ if @L_r ``leq`` L_cur@. This is sometimes termed \"no read up\" in the literature; however, because the partial order allows for incomparable labels (i.e., two labels @L_1@ and @L_2@ such that @not (L_1 ``leq`` L_2) && not (L_2 ``leq`` L_1)@), a more appropriate phrasing would be \"read only what can flow to your label\". Note that, rather than throw an exception, reading data will often just increase the current label to ensure that @L_r ``leq`` L_cur@. The LIO monad keeps a second label, called the /clearance/ (see 'getClearance'), that represents the highest value the current thread can raise its label to. The purpose of clearance is to enforce of discretionary access control: you can set the clearance to a label @L_clear@ as to prevent a piece of LIO code from reading anything above @L_clear@. Conversely, it is only permissible to modify data labeled @L_w@ when @L_cur``leq`` L_w@, a property often cited as \"no write down\", but more accurately characterized as \"write only what you can flow to\". In practice, there are very few IO abstractions (namely, mutable references) in which it is possible to do a pure write that doesn't also involve observing some state. For instance, writing to a file handle and not getting an exception tells you that the handle is not closed. Thus, in practice, the requirement for modifying data labeled @L_w@ is almost always that @L_cur == L_w@. Note that higher labels are neither more nor less privileged than lower ones. Simply, the higher one's label is, the more things one can read. Conversely, the lower one's label, the more things one can write. But, because labels are a partial and not a total order, some data may be completely inaccessible to a particular computation; for instance, if the current label is @L_cur@, the current clearance is @C_cur@, and some data is labeled @Ld_@, such that @not (L_cur ``leq`` L_d || L_d ``leq`` C_cur)@, then the current thread can neither read nor write the data, at least without invoking some privilege. -} {- | This class defines a label format, corresponding to a bounded lattice. Specifically, it is necessary to define a bottom element 'lbot' (in literature, written as ⊥), a top element 'ltop' (in literature, written as ⊤), a join, or least upper bound, 'lub' (in literature, written as ⊔), a meet, or greatest lower bound, 'glb' (in literature, written as ⊓), and of course the can-flow-to partial-order 'leq' (in literature, written as ⊑). -} class (Eq a, Show a, Read a, Typeable a) => Label a where -- | Bottom lbot :: a -- | Top ltop :: a -- | Least upper bound (join) of two labels lub :: a -> a -> a -- | Greatest lower bound (meet) of two labels glb :: a -> a -> a -- | Can-flow-to relation leq :: a -> a -> Bool --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Basic privilege functions ---------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- {- $privs Privilege comes from a separate class called 'Priv', representing the ability to bypass the protection of certain labels. Essentially, privilege allows you to behave as if @L_1 ``leq`` L_2@ even when that is not the case. The process of making data labeled @L_1@ affect data labeled @L_2@ when @not (L_1 ``leq`` L_2)@ is called /downgrading/. The basic method of the 'Priv' object is 'leqp', which performs the more permissive can-flow-to check in the presence of particular privileges (in literature this relation is a pre-order, commonly written as ⊑ₚ). Many 'LIO' operations have variants ending @...P@ that take a privilege argument to act in a more permissive way. It is also possible to execute an 'LIO' action with a set of privileges (without explicitly using the @...P@ combinators) using the 'withPrivileges' combinator. Practicing the /principle of least privilege/, it is recommended that 'withPrivileges' only be used in small blocks of code in which many operations require the same privileges. It is safer to use @...P@ operators and privileges explicitly. All 'Priv' types are monoids, and so can be combined with 'mappend'. How to create 'Priv' objects is specific to the particular label type in use. The method used is 'mintTCB', but the arguments depend on the particular label type. (Of course, the symbol 'mintTCB' must not be available to untrusted code.) -} -- | @PrivTCB@ is a method-less class whose only purpose is to be -- unavailable to unprivileged code. Since @(PrivTCB t) =>@ is in the -- context of class 'Priv' and unprivileged code cannot create new -- instances of the @PrivTCB@ class, this ensures unprivileged code -- cannot create new instances of the 'Priv' class either, even though -- the symbol 'Priv' is exported by "LIO.Base" and visible to -- untrusted code. class PrivTCB t where -- | This class defines privileges and the more-permissive relation -- ('leqp') on labels using privileges.

Note that @'leq' L_1 L_2@ -- implies @'leq' p L_1 L_2@ for all @p@, but for some labels and -- privileges, 'leqp' will hold even where 'leq' does not. leqp :: p -> l -> l -> Bool leqp p a b = lostar p a b `leq` b -- | Roughly speaking, @L_r = lostar p L L_g@ computes how close -- one can come to downgrading data labeled @L@ to the goal label -- @L_g@, given privileges @p@. When @p == 'NoPrivs'@, the resulting -- label @L_r == L ``lub``L_g@. If @p@ contains all possible privileges, -- then @L_r == L_g@. -- -- More specifically, @L_r@ is the greatest lower bound of the -- set of all labels @L_l@ satisfying: -- -- 1. @ L_g ⊑ L_l@, and -- -- 2. @ L ⊑ₚ L_l@. -- -- Operationally, @lostar@ captures the minimum change required to -- the current label when viewing data labeled @L_l@. A common -- pattern is to use the result of 'getLabel' as @L_g@ (i.e., -- the goal is to use privileges @p@ to avoid changing the label -- at all), and then compute @L_r@ based on the label of data -- the code is about to observe. For example, 'taintP' could be -- implemented as: -- -- @ -- taintP p l = do lcurrent <- 'getLabel' -- 'taint' (lostar p l lcurrent) -- @ lostar :: p -- ^ Privileges -> l -- ^ Label from which data must flow -> l -- ^ Goal label -> l -- ^ Result class MintTCB t i where -- |A function that mints new objects (such as instances of -- 'Priv') in a way that only privileged code should be allowed to -- do.

In other words, it must be the case that @lcurrent ``leq`` ldata && ldata ``leq`` ccurrent@. This is ensured by the 'aguard' (allocation guard) function. The 'taintP', 'wguardP', and 'aguardP' functions are variants of the above that take privilege to be more permissive and raise the current label less. -} -- | General (internal) taint function.

In general, such exceptions are handled in the outer, trusted IO code block that executes untrusted LIO code. However, it is sometimes desirable for untrusted code to throw exceptions. To this end we provide an implementation of labeled exceptions, as \"normal\" exceptions are unsafe and can be used to leak information. We describe the interface below. -} -- | Violation of information flow conditions, or label checks should -- throw exceptions of type @LabelFault@.

A complication is that exceptions could potentially leak information. For instance, within a block of code wrapped by 'discard', one might examine a secret bit, and throw an exception when the bit is 1 but not 0. Allowing untrusted code to catch the exception leaks the bit. The solution is to wrap exceptions up with a label. The exception may be caught, but only if the label of the exception can flow to the label at the point the catch statement began execution. For compatibility, the 'throwIO', 'catch', and 'onException' functions are now methods that work in both the 'IO' or 'LIO' monad. If an exception is uncaught in the 'LIO' monad, the 'evalLIO' function will unlabel and re-throw the exception, so that it is okay to throw exceptions from within the 'LIO' monad and catch them within the 'IO' monad. (Of course, code in the 'IO' monad must be careful not to let the 'LIO' code exploit it to exfiltrate information.) Wherever possible, however, code should use the 'catchP' and 'onExceptionP' variants that use whatever privilege is available to downgrade the exception. Privileged code that must always run some cleanup function can use the 'onExceptionTCB' and 'bracketTCB' functions to run the cleanup code on all exceptions. /Note/: Do not use 'throw' (as opposed to 'throwIO') within the 'LIO' monad. Because 'throw' can be invoked from pure code, it has no notion of current label and so cannot assign an appropriate label to the exception. As a result, the exception will not be catchable within the 'LIO' monad and will propagate all the way out of the 'evalLIO' function. Similarly, asynchronous exceptions (such as divide by zero or undefined values in lazily evaluated expressions) cannot be caught within the 'LIO' monad. -} -- | A labeled exception is simply an exception associated with a label. data LabeledException l = LabeledExceptionTCB l SomeException deriving (Typeable) instance Label l => Show (LabeledException l) where show (LabeledExceptionTCB l e) = show e ++ " {" ++ show l ++ "}" instance (Label l) => Exception (LabeledException l) instance (LabelState l p s) => MonadCatch (LIO l p s) where mask k = mkLIO $ \s -> E.mask (fun k s) where fun :: (LabelState l p s) => ((forall a.
