3.8.13.27 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2fb1c9a4f2dbc2f0bd2431c7fa64d0b5483864e4 upstream.
Calculating the 'security.evm' HMAC value requires access to the
EVM encrypted key. Only the kernel should have access to it. This
patch prevents userspace tools(eg. setfattr, cp --preserve=xattr)
from setting/modifying the 'security.evm' HMAC value directly.
