4Description:
5 The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
6 Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
7 values of executables and other sensitive system files
8 loaded into the run-time of this system. At runtime,
9 the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
10 Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
11 by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
12 then closing the file. The new policy takes effect after
13 the file ima/policy is closed.
14
15 rule format: action [condition ...]
16
17 action: measure | dont_measure
18 condition:= base | lsm
19 base: [[func=] [mask=] [fsmagic=] [uid=]]
20 lsm: [[subj_user=] [subj_role=] [subj_type=]
21 [obj_user=] [obj_role=] [obj_type=]]
22
23 base: func:= [BPRM_CHECK][FILE_MMAP][INODE_PERMISSION]
24 mask:= [MAY_READ] [MAY_WRITE] [MAY_APPEND] [MAY_EXEC]
25 fsmagic:= hex value
26 uid:= decimal value
27 lsm: are LSM specific

29 default policy:
30 # PROC_SUPER_MAGIC
31 dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0
32 # SYSFS_MAGIC
33 dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572
34 # DEBUGFS_MAGIC
35 dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720
36 # TMPFS_MAGIC
37 dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994
38 # SECURITYFS_MAGIC

40
41 measure func=BPRM_CHECK
42 measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC
43 measure func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ uid=0
44
45 The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
46 all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
47 open for read by root in inode_permission.
