[PATCH v5 00/21] EVM

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

 



Extended Verification Module(EVM) detects offline tampering of the security
extended attributes (e.g. security.selinux, security.SMACK64, security.ima),
which is the basis for LSM permission decisions and, with the IMA-appraisal
patchset, integrity appraisal decisions. This patchset provides the framework
and an initial method to detect offline tampering of the security extended
attributes.  The initial method maintains an HMAC-sha1 across a set of
security extended attributes, storing the HMAC as the extended attribute
'security.evm'. To verify the integrity of an extended attribute, EVM exports
evm_verifyxattr(), which re-calculates the HMAC and compares it with the
version stored in 'security.evm'.  Other methods of validating the integrity
of a file's metadata will be posted separately (eg. EVM-digital-signatures).

While this patchset does authenticate the security xattrs, and
cryptographically binds them to the inode, coming extensions will bind other
directory and inode metadata for more complete protection.  To help simplify
the review and upstreaming process, each extension will be posted separately
(eg. IMA-appraisal, IMA-appraisal-directory).  For a general overview of the
proposed Linux integrity subsystem, refer to Dave Safford's whitepaper:
http://downloads.sf.net/project/linux-ima/linux-ima/Integrity_overview.pdf.

Much appreciation to Dave Hansen, Serge Hallyn, and Matt Helsley for
reviewing the original patches.

Changes from v4:
- Added evm_inode_post_init calls for: btrfs, gfs2, jffs2, jfs, and xfs.
- Prevent an invalid security.evm xattr from being updated.
- evm_verifyxattr() performance improvement (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- Fixed evm_verify_hmac() to be fail safe (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- Additional naming change generalizations in preparation for other methods
  of integrity authentication. (Dmitry Kasatkin)
