[PATCH v3 3/4] ima: fail signature verification based on policy

Mimi Zohar zohar at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu Mar 8 20:24:09 UTC 2018


This patch addresses the fuse privileged mounted filesystems in
environments which are unwilling to accept the risk of trusting the
signature verification and want to always fail safe, but are for example
using a pre-built kernel.

This patch defines a new builtin policy named "fail_securely", which can
be specified on the boot command line as an argument to "ima_policy=".
