<content type='text'>
commit a414016218ca97140171aa3bb926b02e1f68c2cc upstream.

Each time a file in policy, that is already opened for read, is opened
for write, a Time-of-Measure-Time-of-Use (ToMToU) integrity violation
audit message is emitted and a violation record is added to the IMA
measurement list.  This occurs even if a ToMToU violation has already
been recorded.

Limit the number of ToMToU integrity violations per file open for read.

Note: The IMA_MAY_EMIT_TOMTOU atomic flag must be set from the reader
side based on policy.  This may result in a per file open for read
ToMToU violation.

Since IMA_MUST_MEASURE is only used for violations, rename the atomic
IMA_MUST_MEASURE flag to IMA_MAY_EMIT_TOMTOU.

Each time a file in policy, that is already opened for write, is opened
for read, an open-writers integrity violation audit message is emitted

Limit the number of open-writers integrity violations for an existing

commit 57a0ef02fefafc4b9603e33a18b669ba5ce59ba3 upstream.

Commit 0d73a55208e9 ("ima: re-introduce own integrity cache lock")
mistakenly reverted the performance improvement introduced in commit
42a4c603198f0 ("ima: fix ima_inode_post_setattr"). The unused bit mask was
subsequently removed by commit 11c60f23ed13 ("integrity: Remove unused
macro IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS").

Restore the performance improvement by introducing the new mask
IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS, equal to IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS without
IMA_NEW_FILE, which is not a rule-specific flag.

Finally, reset IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS instead of IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS in
process_measurement(), if the IMA_CHANGE_ATTR atomic flag is set (after
file metadata modification).

With this patch, new files for which metadata were modified while they are
still open, can be reopened before the last file close (when security.ima
is written), since the IMA_NEW_FILE flag is not cleared anymore. Otherwise,
appraisal fails because security.ima is missing (files with IMA_NEW_FILE
set are an exception).

<title>lsm: add the inode_free_security_rcu() LSM implementation hook</title>

<id>urn:sha1:63dff3e48871b0583be5032ff8fb7260c349a18c</id>
<content type='text'>
The LSM framework has an existing inode_free_security() hook which
is used by LSMs that manage state associated with an inode, but
due to the use of RCU to protect the inode, special care must be
taken to ensure that the LSMs do not fully release the inode state
until it is safe from a RCU perspective.

This patch implements a new inode_free_security_rcu() implementation
hook which is called when it is safe to free the LSM's internal inode
state.  Unfortunately, this new hook does not have access to the inode
itself as it may already be released, so the existing
inode_free_security() hook is retained for those LSMs which require
access to the inode.

Commit c7423dbdbc9e ("ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by
ima_filter_rule_match()") introduced call to ima_lsm_copy_rule within a
RCU read-side critical section which contains kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
This implies a possible sleep and violates limitations of RCU read-side
critical sections on non-PREEMPT systems.

Sleeping within RCU read-side critical section might cause
synchronize_rcu() returning early and break RCU protection, allowing a
UAF to happen.

The root cause of this issue could be described as follows:
|	Thread A	|	Thread B	|
|			|ima_match_policy	|
|			|  rcu_read_lock	|
|ima_lsm_update_rule	|			|
|  synchronize_rcu	|			|
|			|    kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)|
|			|      sleep		|
==&gt; synchronize_rcu returns early
|  kfree(entry)		|			|
|			|    entry = entry-&gt;next|
==&gt; UAF happens and entry now becomes NULL (or could be anything).
|			|    entry-&gt;action	|
==&gt; Accessing entry might cause panic.

To fix this issue, we are converting all kmalloc that is called within
RCU read-side critical section to use GFP_ATOMIC.

<title>ima: add crypto agility support for template-hash algorithm</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9fa8e76250082a45d0d3dad525419ab98bd01658</id>
<content type='text'>
The template hash showed by the ascii_runtime_measurements and
binary_runtime_measurements is the one calculated using sha1 and there is
no possibility to change this value, despite the fact that the template
hash is calculated using the hash algorithms corresponding to all the PCR
banks configured in the TPM.

Add the support to retrieve the ima log with the template data hash
calculated with a specific hash algorithm.
Add a new file in the securityfs ima directory for each hash algo
configured in a PCR bank of the TPM. Each new file has the name with
the following structure:

        {binary, ascii}_runtime_measurements_&lt;hash_algo_name&gt;

Legacy files are kept, to avoid breaking existing applications, but as
symbolic links which point to {binary, ascii}_runtime_measurements_sha1
files. These two files are created even if a TPM chip is not detected or
the sha1 bank is not configured in the TPM.

As example, in the case a TPM chip is present and sha256 is the only
configured PCR bank, the listing of the securityfs ima directory is the
following:

lr--r--r-- [...] ascii_runtime_measurements -&gt; ascii_runtime_measurements_sha1
-r--r----- [...] ascii_runtime_measurements_sha1
-r--r----- [...] ascii_runtime_measurements_sha256
lr--r--r-- [...] binary_runtime_measurements -&gt; binary_runtime_measurements_sha1
-r--r----- [...] binary_runtime_measurements_sha1
-r--r----- [...] binary_runtime_measurements_sha256
--w------- [...] policy
-r--r----- [...] runtime_measurements_count
-r--r----- [...] violations

<id>urn:sha1:4de2f084fbff41113d9adec3c9e15ab12bf05e21</id>
<content type='text'>
Make the 'ima' LSM independent from the 'integrity' LSM by introducing IMA
own integrity metadata (ima_iint_cache structure, with IMA-specific fields
from the integrity_iint_cache structure), and by managing it directly from
the 'ima' LSM.

Create ima_iint.c and introduce the same integrity metadata management
functions found in iint.c (renamed with ima_). However, instead of putting
metadata in an rbtree, reserve space from IMA in the inode security blob
for a pointer, and introduce the ima_inode_set_iint()/ima_inode_get_iint()
primitives to store/retrieve that pointer. This improves search time from
logarithmic to constant.

Consequently, don't include the inode pointer as field in the
ima_iint_cache structure, since the association with the inode is clear.
Since the inode field is missing in ima_iint_cache, pass the extra inode
parameter to ima_get_verity_digest().

Prefer storing the pointer instead of the entire ima_iint_cache structure,
to avoid too much memory pressure. Use the same mechanism as before, a
cache named ima_iint_cache (renamed from iint_cache), to quickly allocate
a new ima_iint_cache structure when requested by the IMA policy.

Create the new ima_iint_cache in ima_iintcache_init(),
called by init_ima_lsm(), during the initialization of the 'ima' LSM. And,
register ima_inode_free_security() to free the ima_iint_cache structure, if
exists.

Replace integrity_iint_cache with ima_iint_cache in various places of the
IMA code. Also, replace integrity_inode_get() and integrity_iint_find(),
respectively with ima_inode_get() and ima_iint_find().

Finally, move the remaining IMA-specific flags
to security/integrity/ima/ima.h, since they are now unnecessary in the
common integrity layer.

<title>ima: Move IMA-Appraisal to LSM infrastructure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:84594c9ecdca7ca595bc50e315093cb76921fd8e</id>
<content type='text'>
A few additional IMA hooks are needed to reset the cached appraisal
status, causing the file's integrity to be re-evaluated on next access.
Register these IMA-appraisal only functions separately from the rest of IMA
functions, as appraisal is a separate feature not necessarily enabled in
the kernel configuration.

Reuse the same approach as for other IMA functions, move hardcoded calls
from various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure. Declare the
functions as static and register them as hook implementations in
init_ima_appraise_lsm(), called by init_ima_lsm().

Also move the inline function ima_inode_remove_acl() from the public ima.h
header to ima_appraise.c.

<id>urn:sha1:cd3cec0a02c7338ce2901c574f3935b8f6984aab</id>
<content type='text'>
Move hardcoded IMA function calls (not appraisal-specific functions) from
various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure, by introducing a
new LSM named 'ima' (at the end of the LSM list and always enabled like
'integrity').

Having IMA before EVM in the Makefile is sufficient to preserve the
relative order of the new 'ima' LSM in respect to the upcoming 'evm' LSM,
and thus the order of IMA and EVM function calls as when they were
hardcoded.

Make moved functions as static (except ima_post_key_create_or_update(),
which is not in ima_main.c), and register them as implementation of the
respective hooks in the new function init_ima_lsm().

Select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH, to ensure that the path-based LSM hook
path_post_mknod is always available and ima_post_path_mknod() is always
executed to mark files as new, as before the move.

A slight difference is that IMA and EVM functions registered for the
inode_post_setattr, inode_post_removexattr, path_post_mknod,
inode_post_create_tmpfile, inode_post_set_acl and inode_post_remove_acl
won't be executed for private inodes. Since those inodes are supposed to be
fs-internal, they should not be of interest to IMA or EVM. The S_PRIVATE
flag is used for anonymous inodes, hugetlbfs, reiserfs xattrs, XFS scrub
and kernel-internal tmpfs files.

Conditionally register ima_post_key_create_or_update() if
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled. Also, conditionally register
ima_kernel_module_request() if CONFIG_INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled.
