I wanted to propose a different approach for handling fsverity digests and signatures, compared to: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20220126000658.138345-1-zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ In the original proposal, a new signature version has been introduced (v3) to allow the possibility of signing the digest of a more flexible data structure, ima_file_id, which could also include the fsverity file digest. While the new signature type would be sufficient to handle fsverity file digests, the problem is that its format would not be compatible with the signature format supported by the built-in verification module in fsverity. The rpm package manager already has an extension to include fsverity signatures, with the existing format, in the RPM header. Given that the fsverity signature is in the PKCS#7 format, IMA has already the capability of handling it with the existing code, more specifically the modsig code. It would be sufficient to provide to modsig the correct data to avoid introducing a new signature format. This is what this alternative patch set does. Patches 1-5, 8 have been omitted as they almost don't need modification. Patches 6-7 of this patch set extend the fsverity API to get the necessary information to handle the existing fsverity signatures. Patch 8 (which could be split in two parts, moving the appraisal-specific part to a new patch) gets the fsverity formatted digest and the signature, if present, and use the obtained information for measurement, appraisal and audit. Interference with the code dealing with modsig has been elimitated by introducing the new function ima_modsig_is_verity(), from which that code knows how to deal with the data structure. Also, the fsverity method needs to be enabled with the policy (no change from the original patch set) and is used only if the xattr and modsig appraisal methods are not available. Regarding the measurement part, the original patch set avoids the ambiguity of d-ng, or with the new template field d-type, or with the new signature type IMA_XATTR_DIGSIG in the sig field. This patch set removes the ambiguity by linking d-ng with d-modsig: if d-modsig is the digest of the formatted digest including d-ng, sig is an fsverity signature, otherwise it is a modsig signature. Finally, this patch set addresses also the EVM part. Since the link of an EVM portable signature/HMAC is not done anymore with the IMA xattr, as in the original patch set, EVM directly fetches the formatted digest from fsverity, and includes it in the HMAC/digest calculation. This behavior is disabled by default and needs to be enabled in the kernel configuration. A new function has been exposed to tell to IMA whether or not the fsverity formatted digest is protected. Remaining work would probably be to introduce new template fields to specifically store the fsverity formatted digest and signature (instead of d-modsig and modsig).
