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().

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.
