ima: detect violations for mmaped files
This patch fixes the detection of the 'open_writers' violation for mmaped files. before) an 'open_writers' violation is detected if the policy contains a rule with the criteria: func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ after) an 'open_writers' violation is detected if the current event matches one of the policy rules. With the old behaviour, the 'open_writers' violation is not detected in the following case: policy: measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC steps: 1) open a shared library for writing 2) execute a binary that links that shared library 3) during the binary execution, modify the shared library and save the change result: the 'open_writers' violation measurement is not present in the IMA list. Only binaries executed are protected from writes. For libraries mapped in memory there is the flag MAP_DENYWRITE for this purpose, but according to the output of 'man mmap', the mmap flag is ignored. Since ima_rdwr_violation_check() is now called by process_measurement() the information about if the inode must be measured is already provided by ima_get_action(). Thus the unnecessary function ima_must_measure() has been removed.
