* xattr: Constify ->name member of "struct xattr".Tetsuo Handa2013-07-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since everybody sets kstrdup()ed constant string to "struct xattr"->name but nobody modifies "struct xattr"->name , we can omit kstrdup() and its failure checking by constifying ->name member of "struct xattr".

* evm: audit integrity metadata failuresMimi Zohar2013-06-201-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | Before modifying an EVM protected extended attribute or any other metadata included in the HMAC calculation, the existing 'security.evm' is verified. This patch adds calls to integrity_audit_msg() to audit integrity metadata failures. Reported-by: Sven Vermeulen <sven.vermeulen@siphos.be> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

| * evm: add file system uuid to EVM hmacDmitry Kasatkin2013-02-064-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EVM uses the same key for all file systems to calculate the HMAC, making it possible to paste inodes from one file system on to another one, without EVM being able to detect it. To prevent such an attack, it is necessary to make the EVM HMAC file system specific. This patch uses the file system UUID, a file system unique identifier, to bind the EVM HMAC to the file system. The value inode->i_sb->s_uuid is used for the HMAC hash calculation, instead of using it for deriving the file system specific key. Initializing the key for every inode HMAC calculation is a bit more expensive operation than adding the uuid to the HMAC hash. Changing the HMAC calculation method or adding additional info to the calculation, requires existing EVM labeled file systems to be relabeled. This patch adds a Kconfig HMAC version option for backwards compatability.

The IMA-appraisal extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute 'security.ima'. The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides authenticity. This patch creates and maintains the 'security.ima' xattr, containing the file data hash measurement. Protection of the xattr is provided by EVM, if enabled and configured. Based on policy, IMA calls evm_verifyxattr() to verify a file's metadata integrity and, assuming success, compares the file's current hash value with the one stored as an extended attribute in 'security.ima'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* evm: re-releaseMimi Zohar2011-07-186-0/+626
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>
