Depending on the ordering of the policies and the number of "actions",
this works. ÂIt also matches all hooks, not only those in the
default_measurement_rule policy.

Although the rules are walked sequentially, there is an optimization
in ima_match_rules(), which ends walking the list early, as soon as
the last "action" rule is matched. ÂLook at "actmask".

This rule applies to the secure-boot rules as well. Â(How likely is it
to load a kernel module, kexec from a fuse filsystem?) ÂHowever, after
replacing the builtin policies with a custom policy, the custom policy
might not contain the requirement to re-appraise fuse files.

With the "lockdown" patches, booting with secure-boot enabled, and
after loading a custom policy, the "secure-boot" rules are still
enabled. ÂBut now if the custom policy does not require fuse files to
be re-appraised, the secure boot rules will not require fuse files to
be re-appraised either.

This patch is simple and straight forward. ÂIt would be nice if it
worked in all cases. ÂUnfortunately, there are a number of situations,
as described, that will not work.
