[PATCH 1/3] ima: based on the "secure_boot" policy limit syscalls

Mimi Zohar zohar at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu Apr 12 22:41:49 UTC 2018


The builtin "secure_boot" policy adds IMA appraisal rules requiring kernel
modules (finit_module syscall), direct firmware load, kexec kernel image
(kexec_file_load syscall), and the IMA policy to be signed, but did not
prevent the other syscalls/methods from working.  Loading an equivalent
custom policy containing these same rules would have prevented the other
syscalls/methods from working.

This patch refactors the code to load custom policies, defining a new
function named ima_appraise_flag().  The new function is called either
when loading the builtin "secure_boot" or custom policies.

Fixes: 503ceaef8e2e ("ima: define a set of appraisal rules requiring file signatures")
