[RFC][PATCH 8/8] ima: Detect if digest cache changed since last measurement/appraisal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>

IMA invalidates the cached verification result on file content/metadata
update, so that the file is evaluated again at next access.

While until now checking modifications on the file was sufficient to
determine if the cached verification result is still valid, that no longer
applies if that verification result was obtained with digest caches.

In that case, it is also necessary to check modifications on the digest
lists and on the security.digest_list xattr of the files for which digest
caches are used.

The digest_cache LSM offers the digest_cache_changed() function, which
tells if a file would use a different digest cache than the one passed as
argument. digest_cache_get() might return a different digest cache if the
digest list was modified/deleted/renamed or the security.digest_list xattr
was modified.

Hold a digest cache reference in the IMA integrity metadata, when using it
for measurement/appraisal. At every file access, check if that reference is
still actual by passing it to digest_cache_changed(). If not, reset the
integrity status and do the verification again.

Finally, move the digest_cache_put() call from process_measurement() to
ima_iint_free(), unless the digest cache changed. In that case, still
release the reference in process_measurement().
