IMA: prevent SETXATTR_CHECK policy rules with unavailable algorithms
SETXATTR_CHECK policy rules assume that any algorithm listed in the
'appraise_algos' flag must be accepted when performing setxattr() on
the security.ima xattr. However nothing checks that they are
available in the current kernel. A userland application could hash
a file with a digest that the kernel wouldn't be able to verify.
However, if SETXATTR_CHECK is not in use, the kernel already forbids
that xattr write.
Verify that algorithms listed in appraise_algos are available to the
current kernel and reject the policy update otherwise. This will fix
the inconsistency between SETXATTR_CHECK and non-SETXATTR_CHECK
behaviors.
That filtering is only performed in ima_parse_appraise_algos() when
updating policies so that we do not have to pay the price of
allocating a hash object every time validate_hash_algo() is called
in ima_inode_setxattr().
