[PATCH v5 15/18] ima: Add modsig appraise_type option for module-style appended signatures

Wed Oct 18 11:53:28 AEDT 2017


This patch introduces the modsig keyword to the IMA policy syntax to
specify that a given hook should expect the file to have the IMA signature
appended to it. Here is how it can be used in a rule:

appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=modsig|imasig

With this rule, IMA will accept either an appended signature or a signature
stored in the extended attribute. In that case, it will first check whether
there is an appended signature, and if not it will read it from the
extended attribute.

For now, the rule above will behave exactly the same as if
appraise_type=imasig was specified because the actual modsig implementation
will be introduced in a separate patch.
