    evm: Load EVM key in ima_load_x509() to avoid appraisal · aa2ead71
    Roberto Sassu authored
    The public builtin keys do not need to be appraised by IMA as the
    restriction on the IMA/EVM trusted keyrings ensures that a key can be
    loaded only if it is signed with a key on the builtin or secondary
    keyrings.
    
    However, when evm_load_x509() is called, appraisal is already enabled and
    a valid IMA signature must be added to the EVM key to pass verification.
    
    Since the restriction is applied on both IMA and EVM trusted keyrings, it
    is safe to disable appraisal also when the EVM key is loaded. This patch
    calls evm_load_x509() inside ima_load_x509() if CONFIG_IMA_LOAD_X509 is
    enabled, which crosses the normal IMA and EVM boundary.
