IMA measures files and buffer data such as keys, command line arguments
passed to the kernel on kexec system call, etc. While these measurements
enable monitoring and validating the integrity of the system, it is not
sufficient. In-memory data structures maintained by various kernel
components store the current state and policies configured for
the components. Updates to these data structures would have an impact on
the functionalities. For example, the in-memory data structures
maintained by SELinux store the configuration and policies for this
security module and thereby determine the security functionalities
provided by this module. Changes to these data at runtime would have
an impact on the security guarantees provided by SELinux. Measuring
such in-memory data structures through IMA subsystem provides a secure
way for a remote attestation service to know the state of the system
and also the runtime changes in the state of the system.
SELinux configuration and policy are some of the critical data for this
security module that need to be measured. This measurement can be used
by an attestation service, for instance, to verify if the configurations
and policies have been setup correctly and that they haven't been
tampered at run-time.
Measure SELinux configurations, policy capabilities settings, and
the hash of the loaded policy by calling the IMA hook
ima_measure_critical_data(). Since the size of the loaded policy can
be large (several MB), measure the hash of the policy instead of
the entire policy to avoid bloating the IMA log entry.
Add "selinux" to the list of supported data sources maintained by IMA
to enable measuring SELinux data.
To enable SELinux data measurement, the following steps are required:
1, Add "ima_policy=critical_data" to the kernel command line arguments
to enable measuring SELinux data at boot time.
For example,
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.10.0-rc1+ root=UUID=fd643309-a5d2-4ed3-b10d-3c579a5fab2f ro nomodeset security=selinux ima_policy=critical_data
2, Add the following rule to /etc/ima/ima-policy
measure func=CRITICAL_DATA data_sources=selinux template=ima-buf
Sample measurement of SELinux state and hash of the policy:
10 e32e...5ac3 ima-buf sha256:86e8...4594 selinux-state-1595389364:287899386 696e697469616c697a65643d313b656e61626c65643d313b656e666f7263696e673d303b636865636b72657170726f743d313b6e6574776f726b5f706565725f636f6e74726f6c733d313b6f70656e5f7065726d733d313b657874656e6465645f736f636b65745f636c6173733d313b616c776179735f636865636b5f6e6574776f726b3d303b6367726f75705f7365636c6162656c3d313b6e6e705f6e6f737569645f7472616e736974696f6e3d313b67656e66735f7365636c6162656c5f73796d6c696e6b733d303
10 9e81...0857 ima-buf sha256:4941...68fc selinux-policy-hash-1597335667:462051628 8d1d...1834
To verify the measurement check the following:
Execute the following command to extract the measured data
from the IMA log for SELinux configuration (selinux-state).
grep "selinux-state" /sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f 6 | xxd -r -p
The output should be the list of key-value pairs. For example,
initialized=1;enabled=1;enforcing=0;checkreqprot=1;network_peer_controls=1;open_perms=1;extended_socket_class=1;always_check_network=0;cgroup_seclabel=1;nnp_nosuid_transition=1;genfs_seclabel_symlinks=0;
To verify the measured data with the current SELinux state:
=> enabled should be set to 1 if /sys/fs/selinux folder exists,
0 otherwise
For other entries, compare the integer value in the files
=> /sys/fs/selinux/enforce
=> /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot
And, each of the policy capabilities files under
=> /sys/fs/selinux/policy_capabilities
Note that the actual verification would be against an expected state
and done on a system other than the measured system, typically
requiring "initialized=1; enabled=1;enforcing=1;checkreqprot=0;" for
a secure state and then whatever policy capabilities are actually set
in the expected policy (which can be extracted from the policy itself
via seinfo, for example).
For selinux-policy-hash, the hash of SELinux policy is included
in the IMA log entry.
To verify the measured data with the current SELinux policy run
the following commands and verify the output hash values match.
sha256sum /sys/fs/selinux/policy | cut -d' ' -f 1
grep "selinux-policy-hash" /sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f 6
Note that the actual verification of SELinux policy would require loading
the expected policy into an identical kernel on a pristine/known-safe
system and run the sha256sum /sys/kernel/selinux/policy there to get
the expected hash.
