audit: don't attempt to lookup PIDs when changing PID filtering audit rules
Commit f1dc4867 ("audit: anchor all pid references in the initial pid namespace") introduced a find_vpid() call when adding/removing audit rules with PID/PPID filters; unfortunately this is problematic as find_vpid() only works if there is a task with the associated PID alive on the system. The following commands demonstrate a simple reproducer. # auditctl -D # auditctl -l # autrace /bin/true # auditctl -l This patch resolves the problem by simply using the PID provided by the user without any additional validation, e.g. no calls to check to see if the task/PID exists.
