[PATCH v3 6/6] IMA: validate supported kernel data sources before measurement

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

 



Currently, IMA does not restrict random data sources from measuring their
data using ima_measure_critical_data(). Any kernel data source can call
the function, and it's data will get measured as long as the input
event_data_source is part of the IMA policy -
CRITICAL_DATA+critical_kernel_data_sources. This may result in IMA log
getting bloated by random data sources. Supporting random data sources
at run-time may also impact the reliability of the system. 

To ensure that only data from supported sources are measured, the kernel
component needs to be added to a compile-time list of supported sources
(an "allowed list of components") in ima.h. IMA then validates the input
parameter - event_data_source passed to ima_measure_critical_data()
against this allowed list at run-time.

Provide an infrastructure for kernel data sources to be added to
the supported data sources list at compile-time. Update
ima_measure_critical_data() to validate, at run-time, that the data
source is supported before measuring the data.
