[PATCH V40 04/29] lockdown: Enforce module signatures if the kernel is locked down

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Mon Aug 19 2019 - 20:18:24 EST


From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the kernel is locked down, require that all modules have valid
signatures that we can verify.

I have adjusted the errors generated:

(1) If there's no signature (ENODATA) or we can't check it (ENOPKG,
ENOKEY), then:

(a) If signatures are enforced then EKEYREJECTED is returned.

(b) If there's no signature or we can't check it, but the kernel is
locked down then EPERM is returned (this is then consistent with
other lockdown cases).

(2) If the signature is unparseable (EBADMSG, EINVAL), the signature fails
the check (EKEYREJECTED) or a system error occurs (eg. ENOMEM), we
return the error we got.

Note that the X.509 code doesn't check for key expiry as the RTC might not
be valid or might not have been transferred to the kernel's clock yet.

[Modified by Matthew Garrett to remove the IMA integration. This will
be replaced with integration with the IMA architecture policy
patchset.]
