Subject: [PATCH v6 00/20] EVM
Discretionary Access Control(DAC) and Mandatory Access Control(MAC) can
protect the integrity of a running system from unauthorized changes. When
these protections are not running, such as when booting a malicious OS,
mounting the disk under a different operating system, or physically moving
the disk to another system, an "offline" attack is free to read and write
file data/metadata.
Extended Verification Module(EVM) detects offline tampering of the security
extended attributes (e.g. security.selinux, security.SMACK64, security.ima),
which is the basis for LSM permission decisions and, with the IMA-appraisal
patchset, integrity appraisal decisions. This patchset provides the framework
and an initial method to detect offline tampering of the security extended
attributes. The initial method maintains an HMAC-sha1 across a set of
security extended attributes, storing the HMAC as the extended attribute
'security.evm'. To verify the integrity of an extended attribute, EVM exports
evm_verifyxattr(), which re-calculates the HMAC and compares it with the
version stored in 'security.evm'. Other methods of validating the integrity
of a file's metadata will be posted separately (eg. EVM-digital-signatures).
Although an offline attack can bypass DAC/MAC protection mechanisms and write
file data/metadata, if the disk, or VM, is subsequently remounted under the
EVM + DAC/MAC (+ IMA-appraisal) protected OS, then the TPM-calculated HMAC of
the file's metadata won't be valid. Therefore, IMA + MAC/DAC + EVM
(+ IMA-appraisal) can protect system integrity online, detect offline tampering,
and prevent tampered files from being accessed.
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.
Much appreciation to Dave Hansen, Serge Hallyn, and Matt Helsley for
reviewing the original patches.
Changes from v5:
- defined 'struct evm_ima_xattr_data',
removed MAX_DIGEST_SIZE and evm_hmac_size definitions
- check for key failures and errors earlier
- other minor changes enumerated in individual patch descriptions
Changes from v4:
- Added evm_inode_post_init calls for: btrfs, gfs2, jffs2, jfs, and xfs.
- Prevent an invalid security.evm xattr from being updated.
- evm_verifyxattr() performance improvement (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- Fixed evm_verify_hmac() to be fail safe (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- Additional naming change generalizations in preparation for other methods
of integrity authentication. (Dmitry Kasatkin)
