      ima: digital signature verification support · 8606404f
      Dmitry Kasatkin authored
      This patch adds support for digital signature based integrity appraisal.
      With this patch, 'security.ima' contains either the file data hash or
      a digital signature of the file data hash. The file data hash provides
      the security attribute of file integrity. In addition to file integrity,
      a digital signature provides the security attribute of authenticity.
      
      Unlike EVM, when the file metadata changes, the digital signature is
      replaced with an HMAC, modification of the file data does not cause the
      'security.ima' digital signature to be replaced with a hash. As a
      result, after any modification, subsequent file integrity appraisals
      would fail.
      
      Although digitally signed files can be modified, but by not updating
      'security.ima' to reflect these modifications, in essence digitally
      signed files could be considered 'immutable'.
      
      IMA uses a different keyring than EVM. While the EVM keyring should not
      be updated after initialization and locked, the IMA keyring should allow
      updating or adding new keys when upgrading or installing packages.
      
      Changelog v4:
      - Change IMA_DIGSIG to hex equivalent
      Changelog v3:
      - Permit files without any 'security.ima' xattr to be labeled properly.

      ima: add support for different security.ima data types · 5a44b412
      Mimi Zohar authored
      IMA-appraisal currently verifies the integrity of a file based on a
      known 'good' measurement value.  This patch reserves the first byte
      of 'security.ima' as a place holder for the type of method used for
      verifying file data integrity.
      
      Changelog v1:
      - Use the newly defined 'struct evm_ima_xattr_data'

      ima: add ima_inode_setxattr/removexattr function and calls · 42c63330
      Mimi Zohar authored
      Based on xattr_permission comments, the restriction to modify 'security'
      xattr is left up to the underlying fs or lsm. Ensure that not just anyone
      can modify or remove 'security.ima'.
      
      Changelog v1:
      - Unless IMA-APPRAISE is configured, use stub ima_inode_removexattr()/setxattr()
        functions.  (Moved ima_inode_removexattr()/setxattr() to ima_appraise.c)
      
      Changelog:
        - take i_mutex to fix locking (Dmitry Kasatkin)
        - ima_reset_appraise_flags should only be called when modifying or
          removing the 'security.ima' xattr. Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege.
          (Incorporated fix from Roberto Sassu)
        - Even if allowed to update security.ima, reset the appraisal flags,
          forcing re-appraisal.
        - Replace CAP_MAC_ADMIN with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
        - static inline ima_inode_setxattr()/ima_inode_removexattr() stubs
        - ima_protect_xattr should be static

      ima: add inode_post_setattr call · 9957a504
      Mimi Zohar authored
      Changing an inode's metadata may result in our not needing to appraise
      the file.  In such cases, we must remove 'security.ima'.

      ima: replace iint spinblock with rwlock/read_lock · a10bf26b
      Dmitry Kasatkin authored
      For performance, replace the iint spinlock with rwlock/read_lock.
      
      Eric Paris questioned this change, from spinlocks to rwlocks, saying
      "rwlocks have been shown to actually be slower on multi processor
      systems in a number of cases due to the cache line bouncing required."
      
      Based on performance measurements compiling the kernel on a cold
      boot with multiple jobs with/without this patch, Dmitry Kasatkin
      and I found that rwlocks performed better than spinlocks, but very
      insignificantly.  For example with total compilation time around 6
      minutes, with rwlocks time was 1 - 3 seconds shorter... but always
      like that.

      ima: allocating iint improvements · bf2276d1
      Dmitry Kasatkin authored
      With IMA-appraisal's removal of the iint mutex and taking the i_mutex
      instead, allocating the iint becomes a lot simplier, as we don't need
      to be concerned with two processes racing to allocate the iint. This
      patch cleans up and improves performance for allocating the iint.
      
      - removed redundant double i_mutex locking
      - combined iint allocation with tree search

      ima: add appraise action keywords and default rules · 07f6a794
      Mimi Zohar authored
      Unlike the IMA measurement policy, the appraise policy can not be dependent
      on runtime process information, such as the task uid, as the 'security.ima'
      xattr is written on file close and must be updated each time the file changes,
      regardless of the current task uid.
      
      This patch extends the policy language with 'fowner', defines an appraise
      policy, which appraises all files owned by root, and defines 'ima_appraise_tcb',
      a new boot command line option, to enable the appraise policy.
      
      Changelog v3:
      - separate the measure from the appraise rules in order to support measuring
        without appraising and appraising without measuring.
      - change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail
      - update default appraise policy for cgroups
      
      Changelog v1:
      - don't appraise RAMFS (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - merged rest of "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" commit
        (Dmtiry Kasatkin)
      
        ima_must_appraise_or_measure() called ima_match_policy twice, which
        searched the policy for a matching rule.  Once for a matching measurement
        rule and subsequently for an appraisal rule. Searching the policy twice
        is unnecessary overhead, which could be noticeable with a large policy.
      
        The new version of ima_must_appraise_or_measure() does everything in a
        single iteration using a new version of ima_match_policy().  It returns
        IMA_MEASURE, IMA_APPRAISE mask.
      
        With the use of action mask only one efficient matching function
        is enough.  Removed other specific versions of matching functions.
      
      Changelog:
      - change 'owner' to 'fowner' to conform to the new LSM conditions posted by
        Roberto Sassu.
      - fix calls to ima_log_string()

      ima: integrity appraisal extension · 2fe5d6de
      Mimi Zohar authored
      IMA currently maintains an integrity measurement list used to assert the
      integrity of the running system to a third party.  The IMA-appraisal
      extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the
      measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute
      'security.ima'.  The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are
      hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature
      based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides
      authenticity.
      
      This patch creates and maintains the 'security.ima' xattr, containing
      the file data hash measurement.  Protection of the xattr is provided by
      EVM, if enabled and configured.
      
      Based on policy, IMA calls evm_verifyxattr() to verify a file's metadata
      integrity and, assuming success, compares the file's current hash value
      with the one stored as an extended attribute in 'security.ima'.
      
      Changelov v4:
      - changed iint cache flags to hex values
      
      Changelog v3:
      - change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail
      
      Changelog v2:
      - fix audit msg 'res' value
      - removed unused 'ima_appraise=' values
      
      Changelog v1:
      - removed unused iint mutex (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - setattr hook must not reset appraised (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - evm_verifyxattr() now differentiates between no 'security.evm' xattr
        (INTEGRITY_NOLABEL) and no EVM 'protected' xattrs included in the
        'security.evm' (INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS).
      - replace hash_status with ima_status (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - re-initialize slab element ima_status on free (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - include 'security.ima' in EVM if CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE, not CONFIG_IMA
      - merged half "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - removed unnecessary error variable in process_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - use ima_inode_post_setattr() stub function, if IMA_APPRAISE not configured
        (moved ima_inode_post_setattr() to ima_appraise.c)
      - make sure ima_collect_measurement() can read file
      
      Changelog:
      - add 'iint' to evm_verifyxattr() call (Dimitry Kasatkin)
      - fix the race condition between chmod, which takes the i_mutex and then
        iint->mutex, and ima_file_free() and process_measurement(), which take
        the locks in the reverse order, by eliminating iint->mutex. (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - cleanup of ima_appraise_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin)
      - changes as a result of the iint not allocated for all regular files, but
        only for those measured/appraised.
      - don't try to appraise new/empty files
      - expanded ima_appraisal description in ima/Kconfig
      - IMA appraise definitions required even if IMA_APPRAISE not enabled
      - add return value to ima_must_appraise() stub
      - unconditionally set status = INTEGRITY_PASS *after* testing status,
        not before.  (Found by Joe Perches)

      vfs: move ima_file_free before releasing the file · 4199d35c
      Mimi Zohar authored
      ima_file_free(), called on __fput(), currently flags files that have
      changed, so that the file is re-measured.  For appraising a files's
      integrity, the file's hash must be re-calculated and stored in the
      'security.ima' xattr to reflect any changes.
      
      This patch moves the ima_file_free() call to before releasing the file
      in preparation of ima-appraisal measuring the file and updating the
      'security.ima' xattr.

      Yama: handle 32-bit userspace prctl · 2e4930eb
      Kees Cook authored
      When running a 64-bit kernel and receiving prctls from a 32-bit
      userspace, the "-1" used as an unsigned long will end up being
      misdetected. The kernel is looking for 0xffffffffffffffff instead of
      0xffffffff. Since prctl lacks a distinct compat interface, Yama needs
      to handle this translation itself. As such, support either value as
      meaning PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, to avoid breaking the ABI for 64-bit.
