6.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Snowberg <eric.snowberg@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 18b44bc5a67275641fb26f2c54ba7eef80ac5950 ] Commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get the i_version") partially closed an IMA integrity issue when directly modifying a file on the lower filesystem. If the overlay file is first opened by a user and later the lower backing file is modified by root, but the extended attribute is NOT updated, the signature validation succeeds with the old original signature. Update the super_block s_iflags to SB_I_IMA_UNVERIFIABLE_SIGNATURE to force signature reevaluation on every file access until a fine grained solution can be found.
