[PATCH 1/2] ima: use the IMA configured hash algo to calculate the boot aggregate

From: Mimi Zohar
Date: Mon Jan 27 2020 - 11:02:20 EST


The boot aggregate is a cumulative SHA1 hash over TPM registers 0 - 7.
NIST has depreciated the usage of SHA1 in most instances. Instead of
continuing to use SHA1 to calculate the boot_aggregate, use the
configured IMA default hash algorithm.

Although the IMA measurement list boot_aggregate template data contains
the hash algorithm followed by the digest, allowing verifiers (e.g.
attesttaion servers) to calculate and verify the boot_aggregate, the
verifiers might not have the knowledge of what constitutes a good value
based on a different hash algorithm.
