[RFC PATCH v1] ima: verify mprotect change is consistent with mmap policy

From: Mimi Zohar
Date: Tue May 05 2020 - 13:31:12 EST


Files can be mmap'ed read/write and later changed to execute to circumvent
IMA's mmap appraise policy rules. Due to locking issues (mmap semaphore
would be taken prior to i_mutex), files can not be measured or appraised at
this point. Eliminate this integrity gap, by denying the mprotect
PROT_EXECUTE change, if an mmap appraise policy rule exists.

On mprotect change success, return 0. On failure, return -EACESS.
