From: Krzysztof Struczynski <krzysztof.struczynski@xxxxxxxxxx> After adding the new add_rule() function in commit c52657d93b05 ("ima: refactor ima_init_policy()"), all appraisal flags are added to the temp_ima_appraise variable. Revert to the previous behavior instead of removing build_ima_appraise, to benefit from the protection offered by __ro_after_init. The mentioned commit introduced a bug, as it makes all the flags modifiable, while build_ima_appraise flags can be protected with __ro_after_init. Changelog v1: - set build_ima_appraise instead of removing it (suggested by Mimi) Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 5.0.x Fixes: c52657d93b05 ("ima: refactor ima_init_policy()") Co-developed-by: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Struczynski <krzysztof.struczynski@xxxxxxxxxx> --- security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c b/security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c index ea9b991f0232..ef7f68cc935e 100644 --- a/security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c +++ b/security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c @@ -643,8 +643,14 @@ static void add_rules(struct ima_rule_entry *entries, int count, list_add_tail(&entry->list, &ima_policy_rules); } - if (entries[i].action == APPRAISE) - temp_ima_appraise |= ima_appraise_flag(entries[i].func); + if (entries[i].action == APPRAISE) { + if (entries != build_appraise_rules) + temp_ima_appraise |= + ima_appraise_flag(entries[i].func); + else + build_ima_appraise |= + ima_appraise_flag(entries[i].func); + } } } -- 2.17.1
