[PATCH v5] ima: move APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM dependency on ARCH_POLICY to runtime

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

 



APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM has been marked as dependent on !ARCH_POLICY in compile
time, enforcing the appraisal whenever the kernel had the arch policy option
enabled.

However it breaks systems where the option is set but the system didn't
boot in a "secure boot" platform. In this scenario, anytime an appraisal
policy (i.e. ima_policy=appraisal_tcb) is used it will be forced, without
giving the user the opportunity to label the filesystem, before enforcing
integrity.

Considering the ARCH_POLICY is only effective when secure boot is actually
enabled this patch remove the compile time dependency and move it to a
runtime decision, based on the secure boot state of that platform.

With this patch:

- x86-64 with secure boot enabled

[    0.004305] Secure boot enabled
...
[    0.015651] Kernel command line: <...> ima_policy=appraise_tcb ima_appraise=fix
[    0.015682] ima: appraise boot param ignored: secure boot enabled

- powerpc with secure boot disabled

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: <...> ima_policy=appraise_tcb ima_appraise=fix
[    0.000000] Secure boot mode disabled
...
< nothing about boot param ignored >

System working fine without secure boot and with both options set:

CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM=y
CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY=y

Audit logs pointing to "missing-hash" but still being able to execute due to
ima_appraise=fix:

Changelog:
v5:
  - add pr_info() to inform user the ima_appraise= boot param is being
	ignored due to secure boot enabled (Nayna)
  - add some testing results to commit log
v4:
  - instead of change arch_policy loading code, check secure boot state at
	"ima_appraise=" parameter handler (Mimi)
v3:
  - extend secure boot arch checker to also consider trusted boot
  - enforce IMA appraisal when secure boot is effectively enabled (Nayna)
  - fix ima_appraise flag assignment by or'ing it (Mimi)
v2:
  - pr_info() message prefix correction
