[PATCH v23 8/8] ima: instantiate the bprm_creds_for_exec() hook

Mickaël Salaün

From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.ibm.com>

Like direct file execution (e.g. ./script.sh), indirect file execution
(e.g. sh script.sh) needs to be measured and appraised. Instantiate
the new security_bprm_creds_for_exec() hook to measure and verify the
indirect file's integrity. Unlike direct file execution, indirect file
execution is optionally enforced by the interpreter.

Differentiate kernel and userspace enforced integrity audit messages.

I added both a Reviewed-by and a Signed-off-by because I may not be the
committer.

Changes since v22:
* Add Stefan's Tested-by.
* Replace AUDIT_INTEGRITY_DATA_CHECK with AUDIT_INTEGRITY_USERSPACE as
spotted by Paul and suggested by Mimi.

Changes since v21:
* New patch cherry-picked from IMA's patch v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/67b2e94f263bf9a0099efe74cce659d6acb16fe9.camel@linux.ibm.com
* Fix a typo in comment: s/execvat/execveat/ .
