Subject: [PATCH] IMA: set a default value for unknown digsig algorithms
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 12:18:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210820121847.34087-1-Simon.THOBY@viveris.fr> (raw)
When adding new protections against writing invalid data in
the security.ima xattr, I erroneously expected ima_get_hash_algo()
to always return a valid 'enum hash_algo', but it turns out it trusts
the user-supplied digital signatures and return it without any checks.
It didn't affect process_measurement() because that function
(indirectly) calls into ima_alloc_atfm() that fallback silently
on the default hash algorithm, but it did affect ima_inode_setxattr
as that new function didn't perform a bounds check.
Update ima_get_hash_algo() to always return a valid hash algorithm,
defaulting on 'ima_hash_algo' when the user-supplied value inside
the xattr is invalid.
This patch was successfully tested by syszbot, see
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=e8bafe7b82c739eaf153.
