(Support for measuring, augmenting audit records, and/or verifying fs-verity signatures has yet to be added.) As explained in my response to 11/19, the file descriptor provides the file pathname associated with the buffer data. In addition, IMA policy rules may be defined in terms of other file descriptor info - uid, euid, uuid, etc. Recently support was added for measuring the kexec boot command line, certificates being loaded onto a keyring, and blacklisted file hashes (limited to appended signatures). None of these buffers are signed. process_buffer_measurement() was added for this reason and as a result is limited to just measuring the buffer data. Whether process_measurement() or process_buffer_measurement() should be modified, needs to be determined. In either case to support the init_module syscall, would at minimum require the associated file pathname. Mimi
