Subject: [PATCH v2] integrity: Always reference the blacklist keyring with apprasial

Commit 273df864cf746 ("ima: Check against blacklisted hashes for files with
modsig") introduced an appraise_flag option for referencing the blacklist
keyring. Any matching binary found on this keyring fails signature
validation. This flag only works with module appended signatures.

An important part of a PKI infrastructure is to have the ability to do
revocation at a later time should a vulnerability be found. Expand the
revocation flag usage to all appraisal functions. The flag is now
enabled by default. Setting the flag with an IMA policy has been
deprecated. Without a revocation capability like this in place, only
authenticity can be maintained. With this change, integrity can now be
achieved with digital signature based IMA appraisal.

Thanks, Eric. Other than including "appraise_flag=check_blacklist"
when displaying the measurement list, it looks good.

Thanks for your review.

I want to make sure I understand the request here. Do you mean you
don’t want to see “appraise_flag=check_blacklist” when you cat
/sys/kernel/security/ima/policy? Or are you referencing a change in the
/sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements list? Thanks.

The IMA policy rules as displayed via <securityfs>/ima/policy should
not contain “appraise_flag=check_blacklist".

Ok, I will fix this in v3, thanks.
