boot_aggregate is the first entry of IMA measurement list. Its purpose is to link pre-boot measurements to IMA measurements. As IMA was
designed to
work with a TPM 1.2, the SHA1 PCR bank was always selected.
Currently, even if a TPM 2.0 is used, the SHA1 PCR bank is selected. However, the assumption that the SHA1 PCR bank is always available is not correct, as PCR banks can be selected with the PCR_Allocate() TPM
command.
This patch tries to use ima_hash_algo as hash algorithm for
boot_aggregate.
If no PCR bank uses that algorithm, the patch tries to find the SHA256 PCR bank (which is mandatory in the TCG PC Client specification).
Up to here, the patch description matches the code.
If also this bank is not found, the patch selects the first one. If the TPM algorithm of that bank is not mapped to a crypto ID, boot_aggregate is set to zero.
This comment and the one inline are left over from previous version.
Hi Mimi
actually the code does what is described above. bank_idx is initially set to zero and remains as it is if there is no PCR bank for the default IMA algorithm or SHA256.
Sorry for the delay in continuing to review this patch set. It took a while to write ima-evm-utils regression tests for it.
Dmitry and you were the ones that initiated ima-evm-utils, saying there should a single package for signing files and integrity testing. The features in ima-evm-utils should reflect what is actually upstreamed in the kernel. (Currently there are a few experimental features which were never upstreamed. I'd like to remove them, but am a bit concerned that they are being used.) I'd appreciate your help in keeping ima-evm-utils up to date. It will help simplify upstreaming new kernel features.
My initial patch attempted to use any common TPM and kernel hash algorithm to calculate the boot_aggregate. The discussion with James was pretty clear, which you even stated in the Changelog. Either we use the IMA default hash algorithm, SHA256 for TPM 2.0 or SHA1 for TPM 1.2 for the boot-aggregate.
thanks,
Mimi
