[PATCH v2] x86/ima: require signed kernel modules

From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.ibm.com>
Date: 2019-02-13 12:18:47

Require signed kernel modules on systems with secure boot mode enabled.

Requiring appended kernel module signatures may be configured, enabled
on the boot command line, or with this patch enabled in secure boot
mode.  This patch defines set_module_sig_enforced().

To coordinate between appended kernel module signatures and IMA
signatures, only define an IMA MODULE_CHECK policy rule if
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is not enabled.

Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.ibm.com>

Changelog:
- Removed new "sig_required" flag and associated functions, directly set
  sig_enforce.

I think you need the !CONFIG_MODULES definition of set_module_sig_enforced()

on the boot command line, or with this patch enabled in secure boot
mode.

But only if IMA is enabled?

The patch subject line indicates this is for IMA, but sure I can amend
the patch description, making it clearer.

If so, should this statement be true if
IMA is disabled?

This patch coordinates the PE and IMA signatures so that both
signature types aren't required.  Only if
"CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIGNATURE" is not enabled, is an IMA policy rule
defined.  A custom IMA policy can still define an IMA kexec rule,
requiring an IMA signature, even if the PE signature is required.

For the case when IMA is disabled and PE signatures are required, then
there isn't a problem.  The issue is when neither signature
verification method is enabled.  I'll leave that for someone else to
address.

Either way, this is not clear from the commit log and code, can the
commit log be clear if set_module_sig_enforced() will be set if
IMA is disabled but secure boot mode enabled?

IMA is builtin, so it doesn't need to be exported.

Linus previously pushed back on having the lockdown features
automatically enabled on secure boot systems. Why are we doing the
same in IMA?

IMA-appraisal is extending the "secure boot" concept to the running
system.

Right, but how is this different to what Linus was objecting to?

Both Andy Lutomirski and Linus objected to limiting the "lockdown"
patch set to secure boot enabled systems.

No, Linus objected to it being automatically enabled when secure boot
was enabled. It was always possible to enable it at boot on any
platform.
