[RFC][PATCH v2 8/9] ima: introduce policy action try_appraise

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

 



According to the Biba integrity models, TCB processes won't be corrupted by
writing non-TCB objects.

Introduce the new policy action try_appraise, so that TCB processes are
allowed to write files regardless of the appraisal status. security.ima
will not be updated. An IMA policy for open() that satisfies the
requirements of the Biba integrity models could be:

appraise uid=0 mask=^MAY_EXEC (check read up)
appraise euid=0 mask=^MAY_EXEC (check read up)
appraise uid=0 mask=^MAY_READ (check read up)
appraise euid=0 mask=^MAY_READ (check read up)
try_appraise uid=0 mask=^MAY_WRITE (update security.ima if possible)
try_appraise euid=0 mask=^MAY_WRITE (update security.ima if possible)
