[RFC PATCH v3 2/2] ima: force re-appraisal on filesystems with FS_IMA_NO_CACHE

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Quoting Alban Crequy (alban.crequy at gmail.com):
> From: Alban Crequy <alban at kinvolk.io>
> 
> This patch forces files to be re-measured, re-appraised and re-audited
> on file systems with the feature flag FS_IMA_NO_CACHE. In that way,
> cached integrity results won't be used.
> 
> How to test this:
> 
> The test I did was using a patched version of the memfs FUSE driver
> [1][2] and two very simple "hello-world" programs [4] (prog1 prints
> "hello world: 1" and prog2 prints "hello world: 2").
> 
> I copy prog1 and prog2 in the fuse-memfs mount point, execute them and
> check the sha1 hash in
> "/sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements".
> 
> My patch on the memfs FUSE driver added a backdoor command to serve
> prog1 when the kernel asks for prog2 or vice-versa. In this way, I can
> exec prog1 and get it to print "hello world: 2" without ever replacing
> the file via the VFS, so the kernel is not aware of the change.
> 
> The test was done using the branch "alban/fuse-flag-ima-nocache-v3" [3].
> 
> Step by step test procedure:
> 
> 1. Mount the memfs FUSE using [2]:
> rm -f  /tmp/memfs-switch* ; memfs -L DEBUG  /mnt/memfs
> 
> 2. Copy prog1 and prog2 using [4]
> cp prog1 /mnt/memfs/prog1
> cp prog2 /mnt/memfs/prog2
> 
> 3. Lookup the files and let the FUSE driver to keep the handles open:
> dd if=/mnt/memfs/prog1 bs=1 | (read -n 1 x ; sleep 3600 ) &
> dd if=/mnt/memfs/prog2 bs=1 | (read -n 1 x ; sleep 3600 ) &
> 
> 4. Check the 2 programs work correctly:
> $ /mnt/memfs/prog1
> hello world: 1
> $ /mnt/memfs/prog2
> hello world: 2
> 
> 5. Check the measurements for prog1 and prog2:
> $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements \
>                 | grep /mnt/memfs/prog
> 10 [...] ima-ng sha1:ac14c9268cd2[...] /mnt/memfs/prog1
> 10 [...] ima-ng sha1:799cb5d1e06d[...] /mnt/memfs/prog2
> 
> 6. Use the backdoor command in my patched memfs to redirect file
> operations on file handle 3 to file handle 2:
> rm -f  /tmp/memfs-switch* ; touch /tmp/memfs-switch-3-2
> 
> 7. Check how the FUSE driver serves different content for the files:
> $ /mnt/memfs/prog1
> hello world: 2
> $ /mnt/memfs/prog2
> hello world: 2
> 
> 8. Check the measurements:
> sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements \
>                 | grep /mnt/memfs/prog
> 
> Without the patch, there are no new measurements, despite the FUSE
> driver having served different executables.
> 
> With the patch, I can see additional measurements for prog1 and prog2
> with the hashes reversed when the FUSE driver served the alternative
> content.
