ima: extend "mask" policy matching support

2015-06-16T12:18:44Z

The current "mask" policy option matches files opened as MAY_READ, MAY_WRITE, MAY_APPEND or MAY_EXEC. This patch extends the "mask" option to match files opened containing one of these modes. For example, "mask=^MAY_READ" would match files opened read-write. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Dr. Greg Wettstein Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

ima: add support for new "euid" policy condition

2015-06-16T12:18:43Z

The new "euid" policy condition measures files with the specified effective uid (euid). In addition, for CAP_SETUID files it measures files with the specified uid or suid. Changelog: - fixed checkpatch.pl warnings - fixed avc denied {setuid} messages - based on Roberto's feedback Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Dr. Greg Wettstein Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

ima: do not measure or appraise the NSFS filesystem

2015-05-21T17:28:41Z

Include don't appraise or measure rules for the NSFS filesystem in the builtin ima_tcb and ima_appraise_tcb policies. Changelog: - Update documentation Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.19

ima: skip measurement of cgroupfs files and update documentation

2015-05-21T17:27:19Z

This patch adds a rule in the default measurement policy to skip inodes in the cgroupfs filesystem. Measurements for this filesystem can be avoided, as all the digests collected have the same value of the digest of an empty file. Furthermore, this patch updates the documentation of IMA policies in Documentation/ABI/testing/ima_policy to make it consistent with the policies set in security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c.

ima: add support for measuring and appraising firmware

2014-07-25T18:47:46Z

The "security: introduce kernel_fw_from_file hook" patch defined a new security hook to evaluate any loaded firmware that wasn't built into the kernel. This patch defines ima_fw_from_file(), which is called from the new security hook, to measure and/or appraise the loaded firmware's integrity. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

ima: audit log files opened with O_DIRECT flag

2014-06-03T19:21:50Z

Files are measured or appraised based on the IMA policy. When a file, in policy, is opened with the O_DIRECT flag, a deadlock occurs. The first attempt at resolving this lockdep temporarily removed the O_DIRECT flag and restored it, after calculating the hash. The second attempt introduced the O_DIRECT_HAVELOCK flag. Based on this flag, do_blockdev_direct_IO() would skip taking the i_mutex a second time. The third attempt, by Dmitry Kasatkin, resolves the i_mutex locking issue, by re-introducing the IMA mutex, but uncovered another problem. Reading a file with O_DIRECT flag set, writes directly to userspace pages. A second patch allocates a user-space like memory. This works for all IMA hooks, except ima_file_free(), which is called on __fput() to recalculate the file hash. Until this last issue is addressed, do not 'collect' the measurement for measuring, appraising, or auditing files opened with the O_DIRECT flag set. Based on policy, permit or deny file access. This patch defines a new IMA policy rule option named 'permit_directio'. Policy rules could be defined, based on LSM or other criteria, to permit specific applications to open files with the O_DIRECT flag set.

ima: add policy support for file system uuid

2013-02-06T15:40:29Z

The IMA policy permits specifying rules to enable or disable measurement/appraisal/audit based on the file system magic number. If, for example, the policy contains an ext4 measurement rule, the rule is enabled for all ext4 partitions. Sometimes it might be necessary to enable measurement/appraisal/audit only for one partition and disable it for another partition of the same type. With the existing IMA policy syntax, this can not be done. This patch provides support for IMA policy rules to specify the file system by its UUID (eg. fsuuid=397449cd-687d-4145-8698-7fed4a3e0363). For partitions not being appraised, it might be a good idea to mount file systems with the 'noexec' option to prevent executing non-verified binaries.

ima: added policy support for 'security.ima' type

2013-01-22T21:10:31Z

The 'security.ima' extended attribute may contain either the file data's hash or a digital signature. This patch adds support for requiring a specific extended attribute type. It extends the IMA policy with a new keyword 'appraise_type=imasig'. (Default is hash.) Changelog v2: - Fixed Documentation/ABI/testing/ima_policy option syntax Changelog v1: - Differentiate between 'required' vs. 'actual' extended attribute Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar

ima: rename FILE_MMAP to MMAP_CHECK

2013-01-16T22:49:59Z

Rename FILE_MMAP hook to MMAP_CHECK to be consistent with the other hook names. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar

ima: support new kernel module syscall

2012-12-14T02:35:26Z

With the addition of the new kernel module syscall, which defines two arguments - a file descriptor to the kernel module and a pointer to a NULL terminated string of module arguments - it is now possible to measure and appraise kernel modules like any other file on the file system. This patch adds support to measure and appraise kernel modules in an extensible and consistent manner. To support filesystems without extended attribute support, additional patches could pass the signature as the first parameter. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
