5For a given system, various external services/infrastructure tools
6(including the attestation service) interact with it - both during the
7setup and during rest of the system run-time.  They share sensitive data
8and/or execute critical workload on that system.  The external services
9may want to verify the current run-time state of the relevant kernel
10subsystems before fully trusting the system with business-critical
11data/workload.
12
13Device mapper plays a critical role on a given system by providing
14various important functionalities to the block devices using various
15target types like crypt, verity, integrity etc.  Each of these target
16types’ functionalities can be configured with various attributes.
17The attributes chosen to configure these target types can significantly
18impact the security profile of the block device, and in-turn, of the
19system itself.  For instance, the type of encryption algorithm and the
20key size determines the strength of encryption for a given block device.
21
22Therefore, verifying the current state of various block devices as well
23as their various target attributes is crucial for external services before
24fully trusting the system with business-critical data/workload.
25
26IMA kernel subsystem provides the necessary functionality for
27device mapper to measure the state and configuration of
28various block devices -
29  - BY device mapper itself, from within the kernel,
30  - in a tamper resistant way,
31  - and re-measured - triggered on state/configuration change.
32
33Setting the IMA Policy:
34=======================
35For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
36system needs to be updated to have following line, and the system needs
37to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.
38
39/etc/ima/ima-policy
40 measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf
41
42The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:
43
44/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
45/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
46
47Then IMA ASCII measurement log has the following format:
48PCR TEMPLATE_DIGEST TEMPLATE ALG:EVENT_DIGEST EVENT_NAME EVENT_DATA
49
50PCR := Platform Configuration Register, in which the values are registered.
51       This is applicable if TPM chip is in use.
52TEMPLATE_DIGEST := Template digest of the IMA record.
53TEMPLATE := Template that registered the integrity value (e.g. ima-buf).
54ALG:EVENT_DIGEST = Algorithm to compute event digest, followed by digest of event data
55EVENT_NAME := Description of the event (e.g. 'table_load').
56EVENT_DATA := The event data to be measured.
57
58The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
59be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
60DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.
61
62Supported Device States:
63========================
64Following device state changes will trigger IMA measurements.
6501. Table load
6602. Device resume
6703. Device remove
6804. Table clear
6905. Device rename
70
7101. Table load:
72---------------
73When a new table is loaded in a device's inactive table slot,
74the device information and target specific details from the
75targets in the table are measured.
76
77For instance, if a linear device is created with the following table entries,
78# dmsetup create linear1
790 2 linear /dev/loop0 512
802 2 linear /dev/loop0 512
814 2 linear /dev/loop0 512
826 2 linear /dev/loop0 512
83
84Then IMA ASCII measurement log will have an entry with:
85EVENT_NAME := table_load
86EVENT_DATA := [device_data];[target_data_row_1];[target_data_row_2];...[target_data_row_n];

97
9802. Device resume:
99------------------
100When a suspended device is resumed, the device information and a sha256 hash of the
101data from previous load of an active table are measured.
102
103For instance, if a linear device is resumed with the following command,
104#dmsetup resume linear1
105
106Then IMA ASCII measurement log will have an entry with:
107EVENT_NAME := device_resume
108EVENT_DATA := [device_data];active_table_hash=(sha256hash([device_data];[target_data_row_1];...[target_data_row_n]);

117
11803. Device remove:
119------------------
120When a device is removed, the device information and a sha256 hash of the
121data from an active and inactive table are measured.
122
123For instance, if a linear device is removed with the following command,
124# dmsetup remove linear1
125
126Then IMA ASCII measurement log will have an entry with:
127EVENT_NAME := device_remove
128EVENT_DATA := [device_active_metadata];[device_inactive_metadata];
129              [active_table_hash=(sha256hash([device_active_metadata];[active_table_row_1];...[active_table_row_n]),
130              [inactive_table_hash=(sha256hash([device_inactive_metadata];[inactive_table_row_1];...[inactive_table_row_n]),

142
143
14404. Table clear:
145----------------
146When an inactive table is cleared from the device, the device information and a sha256 hash of the
147data from an inactive table are measured.
148
149For instance, if a linear device's inactive table is cleared with the following command,
150
151# dmsetup clear linear1
152
153Then IMA ASCII measurement log will have an entry with:
154EVENT_NAME := table_clear
155EVENT_DATA := [device_data];inactive_table_hash=(sha256hash([device_data];[inactive_table_row_1];...[inactive_table_row_n]);

164
165
16605. Device rename:
167------------------
168When an device's NAME or UUID is changed, the device information and the new NAME and UUID
169are measured.
170
171For instance, if a linear device's name is changed with the following command,
172
173#dmsetup rename linear1 linear=2
174Then IMA ASCII measurement log will have an entry with:
175EVENT_NAME := device_rename
176EVENT_DATA := [current_device_data];new_name=<new_name_value>;new_uuid=<new_uuid_value>;current_device_capacity=<N>;
