Description Josh 2008-04-14 23:10:02 UTC
When pf is configured to log the UID and PID of the process sending
traffic, it doesn't.

How-To-Repeat: Configure pf with a rule such as:

pass out log (user) quick on $exif inet proto tcp from $exif to any keep state

Start pflog (/etc/rc.d/pflog + rcvar), then run "tcpdump -netttvvvi
pflog0", which is supposed to display the info. You should get something
like (from google):

rule 10/(match) [uid 0, pid 1807] block in on fxp0: 85.100.124.74.14464 \
server1.443: [|tcp] (ttl 249, id 65259, len 40, bad cksum 0! differs by f890)

But I actually get something like:

044014 rule 17/0(match): pass out on bge0: (tos 0x10, ttl 64, id 11138, \
offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60) 64.132.211.219.57274 > \
66.94.234.13.80: [|tcp]

Other users on #freebsd@freenode reported the same behavior.

Comment 2 Max Laier 2008-04-15 02:01:18 UTC
The problem is twofold: 
 1) FreeBSD doesn't store the PID for the opening process in the socket 
    credentials.
 2) tcpdump currently doesn't report uid/pid at all.

The first issue could probably be fixed, but would touch quite a lot of 
things - it's really an industrious task.  Feel free to submit patches ;)  
I don't currently have the time to do this.

The second issue can be addressed with the attached patch, which should 
enable you to display the UID.  It will report NO_PID (100000) for 
everything as long as 1 isn't fixed, though.

Hi,
I've got the same problem on 9-stable too.

pflogd didn't add the good UID value on its pcap.

Here is a pflogd packet displayed on wireshark (my user had UID 1001
for this test):

batch change:

For bugs that match the following
-  Status Is In progress 
AND
- Untouched since 2018-01-01.
AND
- Affects Base System OR Documentation

DO:

Reset to open status.


Note:
I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.

It looks like the kernel side of this (at least for uid) is present.
I've updated the patch:

A simple ping now produces this:

If anyone is still interested in this, can you test it and let me know if this works for you?

There was a commit referencing this bug, but it's still not closed and has been inactive for some time. Closing as "fixed". Please re-open it if the issue hasn't been completely resolved.
Comment 9 Kristof Provost freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-01-19 21:15:20 UTC
Note that while we do log the uid we don’t log the pid. Offhand I think that that was a nontrivial bit of extra work. 

I have no immediate plans to implement that, so I’m okay with keeping this closed.
Comment 10 ferdinand.goldmann 2020-01-16 13:51:32 UTC
This still does not seem to work.

I have the following rule in my pf.conf:
block out log (user) quick on $pub_if all user { >= 1001 }

However, when I log blocked connections, I cannot see the UID in the logged messages (IP addresses X'ed out):

# tcpdump -i pflog0 -n -p -e -tttt -vv action block
tcpdump: listening on pflog0, link-type PFLOG (OpenBSD pflog file), capture size 262144 bytes
2020-01-16 14:47:23.314075 rule 1/0(match): block out on bge0: (tos 0x10, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60)
    X.X.X.33.47508 > X.X.X.65.25: Flags [S], cksum 0x212d (incorrect -> 0xdb8e), seq 631109046, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 6,sackOK,TS val 1497242932 ecr 0], length 0

I'm running a current version of FreeBSD:
freebsd-version -kru
11.3-RELEASE-p5
11.3-RELEASE-p5
11.3-RELEASE-p5

I have tried various different invocations of tcpdump and even tcpdump from the ports to no avail. When I look at the packets in wireshark, I see that either negative or very high values are logged for both UID and PID. Any ideas? Shouldn't it print at least the UID by now?

(In reply to ferdinand.goldmann from comment #10)
That's because this fix was never MFCd back to stable/11 or stable/12. It's fixed in head, but only there.

I've now done the MFC, so it should at least be fixed in the next 11 and 12 released.
