Hi Mimi, > While the appended kernel module signature can be verified, when loading > a kernel module via either the init_module or the finit_module syscall, > verifying the IMA signature requires access to the file descriptor, > which is only available via the finit_module syscall. As "modprobe" > does not provide a flag allowing the syscall - init_module or > finit_module - to be specified, this patch does not load a kernel > module. > This test simply verifies that on secure boot enabled systems with > "CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY" configured, that at least an appended kernel > module signature or an IMA signature is required based on the Kconfig > and the runtime IMA policy. > Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@xxxxxxx> ... > diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/ima/test_kernel_module.sh b/tools/testing/selftests/ima/test_kernel_module.sh ... > +# Are appended signatures required? > +if [ -e /sys/module/module/parameters/sig_enforce ]; then > + sig_enforce=$(cat /sys/module/module/parameters/sig_enforce) > + if [ $sig_enforce = "Y" ]; then > + log_pass "appended kernel module signature required" > + fi > +fi Another possible helper [1]: is_enabled() # or sysfs_enabled { [ -f "$1" ] && [ "$(cat $1)" = "Y" -o "$(cat $1)" = "1" ] } is_enabled /sys/module/module/parameters/sig_enforce && \ log_pass "appended kernel module signature required" ...
