Summary

In the Linux kernel, the IMA mechanism lacks immediate reset of action cache flags (IMA_DONE_MASK) during truncate operations. The fix instantiates file_truncate and path_truncate hooks to force re-collection, re-measurement, re-audit, and re-appraisal on next access.

Risk Assessment

Without this fix, files after truncation may not be re-evaluated by IMA, potentially compromising integrity and security policy compliance.

Recommendation

Install the kernel update that instantiates file_truncate and path_truncate hooks.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ima: Instantiate file_truncate and path_truncate hooks Instantiate the file_truncate and path_truncate LSM hooks to reset the action cache flags (IMA_DONE_MASK) as soon as truncation is requested, so the file, based on policy, is re-collected, re-measured, re-audited, and re-appraised on next access.
