sshd audit not happy with ssh1 and scp

I think I've found a bug with sshd handling audit events for commands (like 
scp) over ssh1 connections.  Specifically, after updating to a recent FreeBSD 
6.x with audit support, I'm getting log messages like these when using scp 
over ssh1:

Sep 12 14:13:16 <auth.info> bm55 sshd[12335]: Accepted rsa for xxx from 
A.B.C.D port 2981
Sep 12 14:13:16 <auth.crit> bm55 sshd[12335]: fatal: monitor_read:
unpermitted

Sep 12 14:13:16 <console.info> bm55 kernel: Sep 12 14:13:16

<auth.crit> bm55
sshd[12337]: fatal: mm_request_send: write: Broken pipe

I tracked these down to the audit event handling for ssh1.  Changing ssh1 to 
use MON_PERMIT instead of MON_ONCE (ssh2 uses MON_PERMIT) for
REQ_AUDIT_COMMAND fixes it (well, shuts up the warnings):

I notice that early on it tries to enable MONITOR_REQ_AUDIT_COMMAND in
mm_answer_pwnamallow().  However, this doesn't actually work as it tries
to enable it in the monitor_dispatch table (which doesn't even have a
REQ_AUDIT_COMMAND in either version 1.5 or 2.0) when it needs to be enabled
in the monitor_postauth table instead.   So, you can either make it
MON_PERMIT like above or you can fix it to not do the monitor_permit() on
the passed in table, but do it on the appropriate postauth table instead.

I'm using the above patch for now, but if you fix openssh I'll go with
the
vendor's fix once it makes it into FreeBSD of course.  I don't know if
the
better fix is the patch above to get ssh1 in sync with ssh2 (in which case th 
monitor_permit() in mm_answer_pwnameallow() should probably be removed), or 
to fix mm_answer_pwnameallow() to perform the monitor_permit() on the correct 
dispatch table.

Thanks for the report.  FreeBSD is using audit support now?  Is it the
debug driver, or are you using OpenBSM or something?

Since SSH protocol 1 can only support a single command per session, the
intent was to only allow the monitor call once, although it probably
doesn't matter much.

You're right.  I think that should be probably be removed.

Does the following patch also resolve the problem for you?

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

OpenBSM.  It's now in FreeBSD 6.x and BSM_AUDIT is enabled by default.

Yes, the patch works great.  Thanks!  I assume you are going to commit
that to OpenSSH?  DES, can you import this as a vendor fix on the
vendor branch?

Cool.  Out of curiousity, did you have to modify the audit support in
sshd, or did it work out of the box?

Yes, it has been committed and will be in 4.4p1.

Thanks again.

I have no idea.  I just upgraded to newer FreeBSD 6.x and started
getting the error messages in my logs. :)   Probably a better person
to ask about anything OpenBSM related in FreeBSD is rwatson at FreeBSD.org
or csjp at FreeBSD.org.

It works right out of the box.
