Not exactly what is needed. ?There's a flag named ima_appraise, which
is used internally in IMA. A temporary flag is created, while
validating the rules.
if (default_appraise_rules[i].func == POLICY_CHECK)
temp_ima_appraise |= IMA_APPRAISE_POLICY;
if (!result && (entry->action == UNKNOWN))
result = -EINVAL;
else if (entry->func == MODULE_CHECK)
temp_ima_appraise |= IMA_APPRAISE_MODULES;
else if (entry->func == FIRMWARE_CHECK)
temp_ima_appraise |= IMA_APPRAISE_FIRMWARE;
else if (entry->func == POLICY_CHECK)
temp_ima_appraise |= IMA_APPRAISE_POLICY;
If the entire policy is valid, ima_update_policy_flag() sets the ima_appraise flag.
ima_appraise |= temp_ima_appraise;
>From an IMA perspective, either a file hash or signature are valid,
but for this usage it must be a signature. ?So in addition to testing
entry->func, above, entry->flags would need to be tested as well to
detect if IMA_DIGSIG_REQUIRED is set.
