[PATCH 2/7] ima: Add meta_immutable appraisal type

From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Fri Apr 09 2021 - 07:43:55 EST


Currently, IMA supports the appraise_type=imasig option in the policy to
require signed file content or metadata. This patch introduces the new
option appraise_type=meta_immutable to require that file metadata is also
immutable, i.e. it cannot have been produced by the system itself but only
from a vendor whose signing key is trusted by the kernel. Currently, this
requirement can be satisfied only by portable signatures.

The main purpose of this option is to ensure a proper label transition
during binary execution, when the target label depends on the label of the
binary being executed. Without it, an administrator might obtain a
different target label by changing the label of the executable.
