This is the initial posting of the IMA-appraisal patch set, separate from EVM. IMA currently maintains an integrity measurement list used to assert the integrity of the running system to a third party. The IMA-appraisal extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute 'security.ima'. The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides authenticity. New hooks: ima_inode_setxattr(), ima_inode_removexattr(), ima_inode_post_setattr() IMA-appraisal extends the measurement policy ABI with two new keywords: appraise/dont_appraise and extends the ima_tcb policy to appraise all files owned by root. Like the ima_tcb measurement policy, the ima_tcb appraisal policy does not appraise pseudo filesystem files (eg. debugfs, tmpfs, securityfs, selinuxfs or ramfs.) Additional rules can be added to the default IMA measurement/appraisal policy, which take advantage of the SELinux labels, for a more fine grained policy. Locking changes: The ima-appraisal extension maintains the file integrity measurement as an extended attribute 'security.ima'. ima_file_free(), called on __fput(), updates 'security.ima' to reflect any changes made to the file. In fix mode, process_measurement() writes 'security.ima' to reflect the current file hash. Writing extended attributes and other file metadata (eg. chmod), requires taking the i_mutex. Both ima_file_free() and process_measurement() took the iint->mutex and then the i_mutex, while chmod() took the locks in reverse order. To resolve the potential lock inversion deadlock, the redundant iint->mutex was eliminated. Prereqs: vfs: fix IMA lockdep circular locking dependency vfs: Correctly set the dir i_mutex lockdep class vfs: iversion truncate bug fix Mimi Dmitry Kasatkin (2): ima: allocating iint improvements ima: digital signature verification support Mimi Zohar (7): vfs: extend vfs_removexattr locking vfs: move ima_file_free before releasing the file ima: integrity appraisal extension ima: add appraise action keywords and default rules ima: add inode_post_setattr call ima: add ima_inode_setxattr/removexattr function and calls ima: add support for different security.ima data types Documentation/ABI/testing/ima_policy | 25 +++- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 4 + fs/attr.c | 2 + fs/file_table.c | 2 +- fs/xattr.c | 6 +- include/linux/ima.h | 27 ++++ include/linux/integrity.h | 7 +- include/linux/xattr.h | 3 + security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c | 3 + security/integrity/iint.c | 64 ++++----- security/integrity/ima/Kconfig | 15 ++ security/integrity/ima/Makefile | 2 + security/integrity/ima/ima.h | 39 +++++- security/integrity/ima/ima_api.c | 55 +++++-- security/integrity/ima/ima_appraise.c | 261 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ security/integrity/ima/ima_crypto.c | 9 +- security/integrity/ima/ima_main.c | 89 +++++++---- security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c | 88 ++++++++++-- security/integrity/integrity.h | 11 +- security/security.c | 6 + 20 files changed, 605 insertions(+), 113 deletions(-) create mode 100644 security/integrity/ima/ima_appraise.c -- 1.7.6.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
