[RFC PATCH] ima: verify mprotect change is consistent with mmap policy

Mimi Zohar zohar at linux.ibm.com
Mon May 4 21:17:40 UTC 2020


Files can be mmap'ed read/write and later changed to execute to circumvent
IMA's mmap appraise policy rules.  Due to locking issues (mmap semaphore
would be taken prior to i_mutex), files can not be measured or appraised at
this point.  Eliminate this integrity gap, by denying the mprotect
PROT_EXECUTE change, if an mmap appraise policy rule exists.

On mprotect change success, return 0.  On failure, return -EACESS.
