O. Meneguele" , linux-integrity , linux-security-module , linux-kernel Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:27:52 -0400 If both IMA-appraisal and sig_enforce are enabled, then both signatures are currently required. If the IMA-appraisal signature verification fails, it could rely on the appended signature verification; but with the lockdown patch set, the appended signature verification assumes that if IMA-appraisal is enabled, it has verified the signature. Basically each signature verification method would be relying on the other to verify the kernel module signature. This patch addresses the problem of requiring both kernel module signature verification methods, when both are enabled, by verifying just the appended signature.
