Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ima: add support to require IMA sigv3 signatures
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:39:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324203929.2475782-4-zohar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324203929.2475782-1-zohar@linux.ibm.com>
Defining a policy rule with the "appraise_type=imasig" option allows
either v2 or v3 signatures. Defining an IMA appraise rule with the
"appraise_type=sigv3" option requires a file sigv3 signature.
Define a new appraise type: IMA_SIGV3_REQUIRED
Example: appraise func=BPRM_CHECK appraise_type=sigv3
Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.ibm.com>

either based on a filesystem's UUID (fsuuid) or based on LSM
labels.
