The integrity of a kernel can be verified by the boot loader on cold
boot, and during kexec, by the current running kernel, before it is
loaded. However, it is still possible that the new kernel being
loaded is older than the current kernel, and/or has known
vulnerabilities. Therefore, it is imperative that an attestation
service be able to verify the version of the kernel being loaded on
the client, from cold boot and subsequent kexec system calls,
ensuring that only kernels with versions known to be good are loaded.
Measure the kernel version using ima_measure_critical_data() early on
in the boot sequence, reducing the chances of known kernel
vulnerabilities being exploited. With IMA being part of the kernel,
this overall approach makes the measurement itself more trustworthy.
To enable measuring the kernel version "ima_policy=critical_data"
needs to be added to the kernel command line arguments.
For example,
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.11.0-rc3+ root=UUID=fd643309-a5d2-4ed3-b10d-3c579a5fab2f ro nomodeset ima_policy=critical_data
If runtime measurement of the kernel version is ever needed, the
following should be added to /etc/ima/ima-policy:
measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=kernel_info
To extract the measured data after boot, the following command can be used:
grep -m 1 "kernel_version" \
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
Sample output from the command above:
10 a8297d408e9d5155728b619761d0dd4cedf5ef5f ima-buf
sha256:5660e19945be0119bc19cbbf8d9c33a09935ab5d30dad48aa11f879c67d70988

The above hex-ascii string corresponds to the kernel version
(e.g. xxd -r -p):
5.11.0-rc3-16187-gedb64fe78244-dirty

Description:
|
|
The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
|
|
Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
|
|
values of executables and other sensitive system files
|
|
loaded into the run-time of this system. At runtime,
|
|
the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
|
|
Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
|
|
by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
|
|
then closing the file. The new policy takes effect after
|
|
the file ima/policy is closed.
|
|
|
|
IMA appraisal, if configured, uses these file measurements
|
|
for local measurement appraisal.

The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
|
|
all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
|
|
open for read by root in do_filp_open. The default appraisal
|
|
policy appraises all files owned by root.
