Subject: [PATCH 6.18 31/52] ima: Access decompressed kernel module to verify appended signature
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 17:54:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017155105.851092003@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017155104.830766652@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Coiby Xu <coxu@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit c200892b46ba3df3dd210b7117a463ec283600c3 ]
Currently, when in-kernel module decompression (CONFIG_MODULE_DECOMPRESS)
is enabled, IMA has no way to verify the appended module signature as it
can't decompress the module.
Define a new kernel_read_file_id enumerate READING_MODULE_COMPRESSED so
IMA can calculate the compressed kernel module data hash on
READING_MODULE_COMPRESSED and defer appraising/measuring it until on
READING_MODULE when the module has been decompressed.
Before enabling in-kernel module decompression, a kernel module in
initramfs can still be loaded with ima_policy=secure_boot. So adjust the
kernel module rule in secure_boot policy to allow either an IMA
signature OR an appended signature i.e. to use
"appraise func=MODULE_CHECK appraise_type=imasig|modsig".
