[RFC][PATCH v3 05/10] ima: Modify existing boot-time built-in policies with digest cache policies

From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 11:27:26 EST


From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Setting the boot-time built-in policies 'digest_cache_measure' and
'digest_cache_appraise' is not sufficient to use the Integrity Digest Cache
to measure and appraise files, since their effect is only to measure and
appraise digest lists.

Modify existing measurement rules if the 'digest_cache_measure' built-in
policy is specified by adding to them:

digest_cache=data pcr=12

Other than enabling the usage of the Integrity Digest Cache for
measurement, the additional keywords also store measurements in the PCR 12,
to not confuse new style measurements with the original ones still stored
on PCR 10.

Modify existing appraisal rules if the 'digest_cache_appraise' built-in
policy is specified by adding to them:

digest_cache=data

The additional keyword enables the usage of Integrity Digest Cache for
appraisal.
