Perhaps they were concerned with > overflowing a counter. My understanding is that Lakshmi wanted to force a new measurement each time and felt using a timestamp would be the best way to do that. A counter, even if it wraps, would have a different value each time whereas a timestamp is vulnerable to time adjustments. While a properly controlled and audited system could be configured and monitored to detect such an event (I *think*), why rely on that if it isn't necessary?

Why are you saying that even if the counter wraps a new measurement is guaranteed. I agree with the rest of what you said.

I agree with the rest of what you said. I was assuming that the IMA code simply compares the passed "policy_event_name" value to the previous value, if they are different a new measurement is taken, if they are the same the measurement request is ignored. If this is the case the counter value is only important in as much as that it is different from the previous value, even simply toggling a single bit back and forth would suffice in this case. IMA doesn't keep a record of every previous "policy_event_name" value does it? Am I misunderstanding how ima_measure_critical_data(...) works?

Originally, there was quite a bit of discussion as to how much or how little should be measured for a number of reasons. One reason is that the TPM is relatively slow. Another reason is to limit the size of the measurement list. For this reason, duplicate hashes aren't added to the measurement list or extended into the TPM. When a dentry is removed from cache, its also removed from IMA's iint cache. A subsequent file read would result in adding the measurement and extending the TPM again. ima_lookup_digest_entry() is called to prevent adding the duplicate entry. Lakshmi is trying to address the situation where an event changes a value, but then is restored to the original value. The original and subsequent events are measured, but restoring to the original value isn't re-measured. This isn't any different than when a file is modified and then reverted. Instead of changing the name like this, which doesn't work for files, allowing duplicate measurements should be generic, based on policy.

Other than appending the timestamp, which is a hack, the patch is fine. Support for re-measuring an event can be upstreamed independently.

I will keep the timestamp for the time being, even though its a hack, as it helps with re-measuring state changes in SELinux. We will add support for "policy driven" re-measurement as a subsequent patch series. thanks, -lakshmi -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel

Once including the timestamp is upstreamed, removing it will be difficult, especially if different userspace applications are dependent on it. Unless everyone is on board that removing the timestamp wouldn't be considered a regression, it cannot be upstreamed. thanks, Mimi -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel

I'm not a fan of merging things which are known to be broken only with the promise of fixing it later. That goes double when the proper fix will result in a user visible breaking change.
