Series IMA: restrict the accepted digest algorithms for the security.ima xattr | expand

Commit Message

THOBY Simon July 27, 2021, 10:23 a.m. UTC
This patch plugs in support for restricting the hash algorithms
accepted for protecting the security.ima xattr when appraising
files.

Each ima policy rule can have a list of allowed hash algorithms,
and a file matching the policy but whose IMA hash is
not explicitly in the list will not pass appraisal.

This do not apply only to IMA in hash mode, it also works with digital
signatures, in which case it checks that the hash (which was then
signed by the trusted private key) have been generated with one of
the algortihms whitelisted for this specific rule.

The first sentence should provide the motivation for the patch.  For
example, start this paragraph by saying that the hash algorithms are
currently not restricted.  Then continue with "Restrict ..." or maybe
"Provide the plumbing to restrict ...".

Belongs in the patch associated with the IMA policy "appraise_hash"
rule option.

Instead of phrasing this paragraph in the negative, the content could
be combined with the first paragraph in the positive.   For example,
"Restrict the permitted set of hash algorithms used for verifying file
signatures stored in security.ima xattr."

This doesn't look like the right place for checking the hash algorithm.
IMA may be configured differently on different systems.  Some might
only enable measurement without appraisal, appraisal without
measurement, or both.  Only appraisal returns a failure and prevents
read, execute, mmap, etc.   The hash algorithm check probably should be
deferred to appraisal.  Placing the test here would skip measurements.

thanks,

Mimi
