Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ima: limit the number of ToMToU integrity violations
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2025 11:21:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250219162131.416719-3-zohar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250219162131.416719-1-zohar@linux.ibm.com>
Each time a file in policy, that is already opened for read, is opened
for write a Time-of-Measure-Time-of-Use (ToMToU) integrity violation
audit message is emitted and a violation record is added to the IMA
measurement list, even if a ToMToU violation has already been recorded.
Limit the number of ToMToU integrity violations for an existing file
open for read.
Note: The IMA_MUST_MEASURE atomic flag must be set from the reader side
based on policy. This may result in a per open reader additional ToMToU
violation.
