Subject[PATCH 3.12 086/111] evm: prohibit userspace writing 'security.evm' HMAC value
Date
From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 2fb1c9a4f2dbc2f0bd2431c7fa64d0b5483864e4 upstream.

Calculating the 'security.evm' HMAC value requires access to the
EVM encrypted key. Only the kernel should have access to it. This
patch prevents userspace tools(eg. setfattr, cp --preserve=xattr)
from setting/modifying the 'security.evm' HMAC value directly.
