While users can restrict the accepted hash algorithms for the security.ima xattr file signature when appraising said file, users cannot restrict the algorithms that can be set on that attribute: any algorithm built in the kernel is accepted on a write. Define a new value for the ima policy option 'func' that restricts globally the hash algorithms accepted when writing the security.ima xattr. When a policy contains a rule of the form appraise func=SETXATTR_CHECK appraise_algos=sha256,sha384,sha512 only values corresponding to one of these three digest algorithms will be accepted for writing the security.ima xattr. Attempting to write the attribute using another algorithm (or "free-form" data) will be denied with an audit log message. In the absence of such a policy rule, the default is still to only accept hash algorithms built in the kernel (with all the limitations that entails).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
