IMA provides hardware (TPM) based measurement and attestation for file measurements. As the Trusted Computing (TPM) model requires, IMA measures all files before they are accessed in any way (on the integrity_bprm_check, integrity_path_check and integrity_file_mmap hooks), and commits the measurements to the TPM. Once added to the TPM, measurements can not be removed. In addition, IMA maintains a list of these file measurements, which can be used to validate the aggregate value stored in the TPM. The TPM can sign these measurements, and thus the system can prove, to itself and to a third party, the system's integrity in a way that cannot be circumvented by malicious or compromised software. - alloc ima_template_entry before calling ima_store_template() - log ima_add_boot_aggregate() failure - removed unused IMA_TEMPLATE_NAME_LEN - replaced hard coded string length with #define name Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
|
|
Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
|
|
values of executables and other sensitive system files,
|
|
as they are read or executed. If an attacker manages
|
|
to change the contents of an important system file
|
|
being measured, we can tell.
|
|
|
|
If your system has a TPM chip, then IMA also maintains
|
|
an aggregate integrity value over this list inside the
|
|
TPM hardware, so that the TPM can prove to a third party
|
|
whether or not critical system files have been modified.

This option adds a kernel parameter 'ima_audit', which
|
|
allows informational auditing messages to be enabled
|
|
at boot. If this option is selected, informational integrity
|
|
auditing messages can be enabled with 'ima_audit=1' on
|
|
the kernel command line.
