From 66963999a2b2f589e108c786bfcb2e2b560d920e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mimi Zohar Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 20:48:33 -0400 Subject: ima: update builtin policies commit 24fd03c87695a76f0517df42a37e51b1597d2c8a upstream. This patch defines a builtin measurement policy "tcb", similar to the existing "ima_tcb", but with additional rules to also measure files based on the effective uid and to measure files opened with the "read" mode bit set (eg. read, read-write). Changing the builtin "ima_tcb" policy could potentially break existing users. Instead of defining a new separate boot command line option each time the builtin measurement policy is modified, this patch defines a single generic boot command line option "ima_policy=" to specify the builtin policy and deprecates the use of the builtin ima_tcb policy. [The "ima_policy=" boot command line option is based on Roberto Sassu's "ima: added new policy type exec" patch.] Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Dr. Greg Wettstein Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt index 6726139bd289..cd03a0faca8f 100644 --- a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt +++ b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt @@ -1398,7 +1398,15 @@ bytes respectively.
