Description ben 2019-12-28 12:20:10 UTC
It seems that audit is recording an errno of EJUSTRETURN instead of 0 for calls to execve().  This makes an audit policy with +ex ineffective.

header_ex,301,11,execve(2),0,::1,Sat Dec 28 12:10:13 2019, + 102 msec
exec arg,/usr/libexec/atrun
(...)
return,failure: Unknown error: 201,4294967295

I suspect D13180/r326145, but haven't investigated further.

  r367002:
  audit: correct reporting of *execve(2) success

  r326145 corrected do_execve() to return EJUSTRETURN upon success so that
  important registers are not clobbered. This had the side effect of tapping
  out 'failures' for all *execve(2) audit records, which is less than useful
  for auditing purposes.

  Audit exec returns earlier, where we can know for sure that EJUSTRETURN
  translates to success. Note that this unsets TDP_AUDITREC as we commit the
  audit record, so the usual audit in the syscall return path will do nothing.

  r367060:
  audit: also correctly audit linux_execve()

  Linux execve() gets audited as AUE_EXECVE as well, we should also interpret
  the return from this correctly for the same reasoning as in r367002.
