Overlayfs fails to notify IMA / EVM about file content modifications
and therefore IMA-appraised files may execute even though their file
signature does not validate against the changed hash of the file
anymore. To resolve this issue, add a call to integrity_notify_change()
to the ovl_release() function to notify the integrity subsystem about
file changes. The set flag triggers the re-evaluation of the file by
IMA / EVM once the file is accessed again.

I thought we concluded that ima is going to move into the security hook
infrastructure so it seems this should be a proper LSM hook?

We are working towards migrating IMA/EVM to the LSM layer, but there
are a few things we need to fix/update/remove first; if anyone is
curious, you can join the LSM list as we've been discussing some of
these changes this week.  Bug fixes like this should probably remain
as IMA/EVM calls for the time being, with the understanding that they
will migrate over with the rest of IMA/EVM.

That said, we should give Mimi a chance to review this patch as it is
possible there is a different/better approach.  A bit of patience may
be required as I know Mimi is very busy at the moment.


There may be a better approach actually by increasing the inode's i_version,
which then should trigger the appropriate path in ima_check_last_writer().
