[Linux-ima-devel] [PATCH v3 0/7] Appended signatures support for IMA appraisal
|

Hello,
The main change in this version is that the process of first trying to
verify a modsig and then trying an xattr sig if the former fails is now done
in ima_appraise_measurement instead of process_measurement. As a result, the
changes needed in the latter are small.
This is possible because the file hash used to verify the modsig isn't used
by IMA's collect step at all anymore. It's not suitable because the hash
doesn't cover the appended signature at the end of the file.
The hash algorithm used by ima_collect_measurement in the case of a file
with a modsig will be the same one used before these patches: if there is an
xattr signature its hash algorithm will be used, otherwise the IMA default
hash algorithm will be used.
Another noteworthy change is in ima_template_lib.c's ima_eventsig_init, to
allow storing the modsig if the template requires storing the signature
contents.
There's a detailed changelog after the original cover letter describing the
feature below:
On the OpenPOWER platform, secure boot and trusted boot are being
implemented using IMA for taking measurements and verifying signatures.
Since the kernel image on Power servers is an ELF binary, kernels are
signed using the scripts/sign-file tool and thus use the same signature
format as signed kernel modules.
This patch series adds support in IMA for verifying those signatures.
It adds flexibility to OpenPOWER secure boot, because it allows it to boot
kernels with the signature appended to them as well as kernels where the
signature is stored in the IMA extended attribute.
Since modsig is only supported on some specific hooks which don't get
called often (cf. ima_hook_supports_modsig), it's possible to always check
for the presence of an appended modsig before looking for the xattr sig. In
that case, the policy doesn't need to be changed to support the modsig
keyword. Is that preferable than requiring the policy to explicitly allow a
modsig like this code does?
I tested these patches with EVM and I believe they don't break it and
things work as expected, but I'm not really familiar with EVM and its use
cases so this should be taken with a grain of salt.
I also verified that the code correctly recalculates the file hash if the
modsig verification fails and the file also has an xattr signature which
uses a different hash algorithm.
These patches apply on top of today's linux-integrity/next.
Changes since v2:
- Patch "MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions."
- Put change introducing function verify_pkcs7_message_signature into
its own patch (suggested by Mimi Zohar).
- Shortened validate_module_signature to validate_module_sig.
- Patch "PKCS#7: Introduce verify_pkcs7_message_sig"
- New patch in this series.
- Shortened verify_pkcs7_message_signature to verify_pkcs7_message_sig.
- Patch "integrity: Introduce integrity_keyring_from_id"
- New patch in this series.
- Patch "integrity: Select CONFIG_KEYS instead of depending on it"
- New patch in this series.
- Patch "ima: Store measurement after appraisal"
- New patch in this series.
- Instead of creating function measure_and_appraise, simply call
ima_appraise_measurement before ima_store_measurement in
process_measurement (suggested by Mimi Zohar).
- Patch "ima: Support appended signatures for appraisal"
- Put change introducing function integrity_keyring_from_id into
its own patch (suggested by Mimi Zohar).
- Put change to select CONFIG_KEYS in its own patch.
- Put change in the order of measure and appraise steps into
its own patch (suggested by Mimi Zohar).
- Add buf and size arguments to ima_appraise_measurement. Also,
pass xattr_value and xattr_len by reference so that the function can
change them to point to the modsig.
- Don't pass buf_len by reference in ima_read_modsig. It doesn't need
to be changed anymore now that the hash calculated by the collect step
covers the whole file instead of skipping the modsig at the end.
- Don't add pkcs7_get_message_sig. It's not necessary anymore. Ditto for
ima_get_modsig_hash_algo.
- Don't change ima_collect_measurement anymore to recalculate the file
hash if the algorithm is different, since now it doesn't have anything
to do with the hash used by the modsig.
- Don't change ima_get_hash_alog anymore to obtain the hash algo used by
the modsig, since it isn't used in the collect step.
- Change ima_appraise_measurement to check whether there is a modsig
before verifying the xattr if the policy rule allows a modsig.
- Use separate if clause to check result of evm_verifyxattr when
appraising modsig (suggested by Mimi Zohar).
- Use bool variable in ima_inode_setxattr to make code clearer (suggested
by Mimi Zohar).
- Don't define pr_fmt in ima_main.c.
- Renamed struct signature_modsig_hdr to modsig_hdr.
Changes since v1:
- Patch "integrity: Small code improvements"
- Add missing #endif comment in ima.h.
- Patch "ima: Tidy up constant strings"
- Squashed into previous patch.
- Patch "ima: Simplify policy_func_show."
- Generate ima_hooks enum and func_tokens array from a single macro.
(suggested by Mimi)
- Further simplify policy_func_show by not using the printf format string
from the policy_tokens table.
- Patch "integrity: Introduce struct evm_hmac_xattr"
- New patch.
- Patch "MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions."
- Add function verify_pkcs7_message_signature which takes a
struct pkcs7_message.
- Move MODULE_SIG_STRING definition from <linux/module.h> to
<linux/module_signature.h>.
- Patch "ima: Support appended signatures for appraisal"
- Changed name from appended_sig to modsig. (suggested by Mehmet Kayaalp)
- Don't add key_being_used_for value VERIFYING_KEXEC_CMS_SIGNATURE. Use
existing VERIFYING_MODULE_SIGNATURE. (suggested by Mimi)
- Moved modsig code to its own file. (suggested by Mimi)
- Added new xattr "subtype" IMA_MODSIG. (suggested by Mimi)
- Check whether a hook supports modsig when the policy is being parsed.
(suggested by Mimi)
- If the modsig verification fails, look for an xattr signature.
(suggested by Mimi)
- Add integrity_keyring_from_id function.
- Put modsig to measurement list if the template requires the signature
contents. (suggested by Mimi).
