2011-09-14evm: clean verification statusDmitry Kasatkin
When allocating from slab, initialization is done the first time in init_once() and subsequently on free. Because evm_status was not re-initialized on free, evm_verify_hmac() skipped verifications. This patch re-initializes evm_status. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>
2011-09-14evm: permit mode bits to be updatedMimi Zohar
Before permitting 'security.evm' to be updated, 'security.evm' must exist and be valid. In the case that there are no existing EVM protected xattrs, it is safe for posix acls to update the mode bits. To differentiate between no 'security.evm' xattr and no xattrs used to calculate 'security.evm', this patch defines INTEGRITY_NOXATTR. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>
2011-09-14evm: posix acls modify i_modeMimi Zohar
The posix xattr acls are 'system' prefixed, which normally would not affect security.evm. An interesting side affect of writing posix xattr acls is their modifying of the i_mode, which is included in security.evm. This patch updates security.evm when posix xattr acls are written.

2011-09-14evm: remove TCG_TPM dependencyMimi Zohar
All tristates selected by EVM(boolean) are forced to be builtin, except in the TCG_TPM(tristate) dependency case. Arnaud Lacombe summarizes the Kconfig bug as, "So it would seem direct dependency state influence the state of reverse dependencies.." For a detailed explanation, refer to Arnaud Lacombe's posting http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/23/498. With the "encrypted-keys: remove trusted-keys dependency" patch, EVM can now be built without a dependency on TCG_TPM. The trusted-keys dependency requires trusted-keys to either be builtin or not selected. This dependency will prevent the boolean/tristate mismatch from occuring.

2011-08-18evm: add Kconfig TCG_TPM dependencyMimi Zohar
Although the EVM encrypted-key should be encrypted/decrypted using a trusted-key, a user-defined key could be used instead. When using a user- defined key, a TCG_TPM dependency should not be required. Unfortunately, the encrypted-key code needs to be refactored a bit in order to remove this dependency.

2011-07-18evm: evm_verify_hmac must not return INTEGRITY_UNKNOWNDmitry Kasatkin
If EVM is not supported or enabled, evm_verify_hmac() returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN, which ima_appraise_measurement() ignores and sets the appraisal status based solely on the security.ima verification. evm_verify_hmac() also returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN for other failures, such as temporary failures like -ENOMEM, resulting in possible attack vectors. This patch changes the default return code for temporary/unexpected failures, like -ENOMEM, from INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN to INTEGRITY_FAIL, making evm_verify_hmac() fail safe. As a result, failures need to be re-evaluated in order to catch both temporary errors, such as the -ENOMEM, as well as errors that have been resolved in fix mode.

(Assumes an LSM module protects the setting/removing of xattr.)

2011-07-18evm: add support for different security.evm data typesDmitry Kasatkin
EVM protects a file's security extended attributes(xattrs) against integrity attacks. The current patchset maintains an HMAC-sha1 value across the security xattrs, storing the value as the extended attribute 'security.evm'. We anticipate other methods for protecting the security extended attributes. This patch reserves the first byte of 'security.evm' as a place holder for the type of method.

2011-07-18evm: re-releaseMimi Zohar
EVM protects a file's security extended attributes(xattrs) against integrity attacks. This patchset provides the framework and an initial method. The initial method maintains an HMAC-sha1 value across the security extended attributes, storing the HMAC value as the extended attribute 'security.evm'. Other methods of validating the integrity of a file's metadata will be posted separately (eg. EVM-digital-signatures). While this patchset does authenticate the security xattrs, and cryptographically binds them to the inode, coming extensions will bind other directory and inode metadata for more complete protection. To help simplify the review and upstreaming process, each extension will be posted separately (eg. IMA-appraisal, IMA-appraisal-directory). For a general overview of the proposed Linux integrity subsystem, refer to Dave Safford's whitepaper: http://downloads.sf.net/project/linux-ima/linux-ima/Integrity_overview.pdf. EVM depends on the Kernel Key Retention System to provide it with a trusted/encrypted key for the HMAC-sha1 operation. The key is loaded onto the root's keyring using keyctl. Until EVM receives notification that the key has been successfully loaded onto the keyring (echo 1 > <securityfs>/evm), EVM can not create or validate the 'security.evm' xattr, but returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN. Loading the key and signaling EVM should be done as early as possible. Normally this is done in the initramfs, which has already been measured as part of the trusted boot. For more information on creating and loading existing trusted/encrypted keys, refer to Documentation/keys-trusted-encrypted.txt. A sample dracut patch, which loads the trusted/encrypted key and enables EVM, is available from http://linux-ima.sourceforge.net/#EVM. Based on the LSMs enabled, the set of EVM protected security xattrs is defined at compile. EVM adds the following three calls to the existing security hooks: evm_inode_setxattr(), evm_inode_post_setxattr(), and evm_inode_removexattr. To initialize and update the 'security.evm' extended attribute, EVM defines three calls: evm_inode_post_init(), evm_inode_post_setattr() and evm_inode_post_removexattr() hooks. To verify the integrity of a security xattr, EVM exports evm_verifyxattr(). Changelog v7: - Fixed URL in EVM ABI documentation Changelog v6: (based on Serge Hallyn's review) - fix URL in patch description - remove evm_hmac_size definition - use SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE (removed both MAX_DIGEST_SIZE and evm_hmac_size) - moved linux include before other includes - test for crypto_hash_setkey failure - fail earlier for invalid key - clear entire encrypted key, even on failure - check xattr name length before comparing xattr names Changelog: - locking based on i_mutex, remove evm_mutex - using trusted/encrypted keys for storing the EVM key used in the HMAC-sha1 operation. - replaced crypto hash with shash (Dmitry Kasatkin) - support for additional methods of verifying the security xattrs (Dmitry Kasatkin) - iint not allocated for all regular files, but only for those appraised - Use cap_sys_admin in lieu of cap_mac_admin - Use __vfs_setxattr_noperm(), without permission checks, from EVM Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com>

2011-02-23ima: remove unnecessary call to ima_must_measureMimi Zohar
The original ima_must_measure() function based its results on cached iint information, which required an iint be allocated for all files. Currently, an iint is allocated only for files in policy. As a result, for those files in policy, ima_must_measure() is now called twice: once to determine if the inode is in the measurement policy and, the second time, to determine if it needs to be measured/re-measured. The second call to ima_must_measure() unnecessarily checks to see if the file is in policy. As we already know the file is in policy, this patch removes the second unnecessary call to ima_must_measure(), removes the vestige iint parameter, and just checks the iint directly to determine if the inode has been measured or needs to be measured/re-measured.

2011-01-03ima: fix add LSM rule bugMimi Zohar
If security_filter_rule_init() doesn't return a rule, then not everything is as fine as the return code implies. This bug only occurs when the LSM (eg. SELinux) is disabled at runtime. Adding an empty LSM rule causes ima_match_rules() to always succeed, ignoring any remaining rules. default IMA TCB policy: # PROC_SUPER_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0 # SYSFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572 # DEBUGFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720 # TMPFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994 # SECURITYFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x73636673 < LSM specific rule > dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t measure func=BPRM_CHECK measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC measure func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ uid=0 Thus without the patch, with the boot parameters 'tcb selinux=0', adding the above 'dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t' rule to the default IMA TCB measurement policy, would result in nothing being measured.

2010-10-26IMA: fix the ToMToU logicEric Paris
Current logic looks like this: rc = ima_must_measure(NULL, inode, MAY_READ, FILE_CHECK); if (rc < 0) goto out; if (mode & FMODE_WRITE) { if (inode->i_readcount) send_tomtou = true; goto out; } if (atomic_read(&inode->i_writecount) > 0) send_writers = true; Lets assume we have a policy which states that all files opened for read by root must be measured. Lets assume the file has permissions 777. Lets assume that root has the given file open for read. Lets assume that a non-root process opens the file write. The non-root process will get to ima_counts_get() and will check the ima_must_measure(). Since it is not supposed to measure it will goto out. We should check the i_readcount no matter what since we might be causing a ToMToU voilation! This is close to correct, but still not quite perfect. The situation could have been that root, which was interested in the mesurement opened and closed the file and another process which is not interested in the measurement is the one holding the i_readcount ATM. This is just overly strict on ToMToU violations, which is better than not strict enough...

2010-10-26IMA: drop refcnt from ima_iint_cache since it isn't neededEric Paris
Since finding a struct ima_iint_cache requires a valid struct inode, and the struct ima_iint_cache is supposed to have the same lifetime as a struct inode (technically they die together but don't need to be created at the same time) we don't have to worry about the ima_iint_cache outliving or dieing before the inode.

2010-10-26IMA: only allocate iint when neededEric Paris
IMA always allocates an integrity structure to hold information about every inode, but only needed this structure to track the number of readers and writers currently accessing a given inode.

2010-10-26IMA: move read counter into struct inodeEric Paris
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in core. This stucture is about 120 bytes long. Most files however (especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need any of this space. The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to know information about the number of readers and the number of writers for every inode on the box. At the moment we collect that information in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space. This patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely needed. This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data. Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still be possible.

2010-10-26IMA: use i_writecount rather than a private counterEric Paris
IMA tracks the number of struct files which are holding a given inode readonly and the number which are holding the inode write or r/w. It needs this information so when a new reader or writer comes in it can tell if this new file will be able to invalidate results it already made about existing files. aka if a task is holding a struct file open RO, IMA measured the file and recorded those measurements and then a task opens the file RW IMA needs to note in the logs that the old measurement may not be correct. It's called a "Time of Measure Time of Use" (ToMToU) issue. The same is true is a RO file is opened to an inode which has an open writer. We cannot, with any validity, measure the file in question since it could be changing. This patch attempts to use the i_writecount field to track writers. The i_writecount field actually embeds more information in it's value than IMA needs but it should work for our purposes and allow us to shrink the struct inode even more.

2010-10-26IMA: use rbtree instead of radix tree for inode information cacheEric Paris
The IMA code needs to store the number of tasks which have an open fd granting permission to write a file even when IMA is not in use. It needs this information in order to be enabled at a later point in time without losing it's integrity garantees. At the moment that means we store a little bit of data about every inode in a cache. We use a radix tree key'd on the inode's memory address. Dave Chinner pointed out that a radix tree is a terrible data structure for such a sparse key space. This patch switches to using an rbtree which should be more efficient. Bug report from Dave: "I just noticed that slabtop was reporting an awfully high usage of radix tree nodes: OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 4200331 2778082 66% 0.55K 144839 29 2317424K radix_tree_node 2321500 2060290 88% 1.00K 72581 32 2322592K xfs_inode 2235648 2069791 92% 0.12K 69864 32 279456K iint_cache That is, 2.7M radix tree nodes are allocated, and the cache itself is consuming 2.3GB of RAM. I know that the XFS inodei caches are indexed by radix tree node, but for 2 million cached inodes that would mean a density of 1 inode per radix tree node, which for a system with 16M inodes in the filsystems is an impossibly low density. The worst I've seen in a production system like kernel.org is about 20-25% density, which would mean about 150-200k radix tree nodes for that many inodes. So it's not the inode cache. So I looked up what the iint_cache was. It appears to used for storing per-inode IMA information, and uses a radix tree for indexing. It uses the *address* of the struct inode as the indexing key. That means the key space is extremely sparse - for XFS the struct inode addresses are approximately 1000 bytes apart, which means the closest the radix tree index keys get is ~1000. Which means that there is a single entry per radix tree leaf node, so the radix tree is using roughly 550 bytes for every 120byte structure being cached. For the above example, it's probably wasting close to 1GB of RAM...."

2010-09-08ima: always maintain countersMimi Zohar
commit 8262bb85da allocated the inode integrity struct (iint) before any inodes were created. Only after IMA was initialized in late_initcall were the counters updated. This patch updates the counters, whether or not IMA has been initialized, to resolve 'imbalance' messages. This patch fixes the bug as reported in bugzilla: 15673. When the i915 is builtin, the ring_buffer is initialized before IMA, causing the imbalance message on suspend.

2010-08-02ima: use generic_file_llseek for securityfsArnd Bergmann
The default for llseek will change to no_llseek, so securityfs users need to add explicit .llseek assignments. Since we're dealing with regular files from a VFS perspective, use generic_file_llseek.

2010-05-21kref: remove kref_setNeilBrown
Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel: One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a reference, Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being initialised. This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code. So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.

2010-05-17ima: remove ACPI dependencyMimi Zohar
The ACPI dependency moved to the TPM, where it belongs. Although IMA per-se does not require access to the bios measurement log, verifying the IMA boot aggregate does, which requires ACPI.

2010-04-23IMA: include the word IMA in printk messagesEric Paris
As an example IMA emits a warning when it can't find a TPM chip: "No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!" This patch prefaces that message with IMA so we know what subsystem is bypassing the TPM. Do this for all pr_info and pr_err messages. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
