[PATCH] efi: x86: Wipe setup_data on pure EFI boot

[PATCH] efi: x86: Wipe setup_data on pure EFI boot

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

When booting the x86 kernel via EFI using the LoadImage/StartImage boot
services [as opposed to the deprecated EFI handover protocol], the setup
header is taken from the image directly, and given that EFI's LoadImage
has no Linux/x86 specific knowledge regarding struct bootparams or
struct setup_header, any absolute addresses in the setup header must
originate from the file and not from a prior loading stage.

Since we cannot generally predict where LoadImage() decides to load an
image (*), such absolute addresses must be treated as suspect: even if a
prior boot stage intended to make them point somewhere inside the
[signed] image, there is no way to validate that, and if they point at
an arbitrary location in memory, the setup_data nodes will not be
covered by any signatures or TPM measurements either, and could be made
to contain an arbitrary sequence of SETUP_xxx nodes, which could
interfere quite badly with the early x86 boot sequence.

(*) Note that, while LoadImage() does take a buffer/size tuple in
addition to a device path, which can be used to provide the image
contents directly, it will re-allocate such images, as the memory
footprint of an image is generally larger than the PE/COFF file
representation.

Next, in order to allow hypervisors to still use setup_data in scenarios
where it may be useful, bump the x86 boot protocol version, so that
hypervisors, e.g. QEMU in the linked patch, can do the right thing
automatically depending on whether it is safe.

if the x86 folks are ok with this, I would like to send this to
cc:stable, but I imagine retroactively changing the header version
number might be something they would prefer to avoid. In that case,
better to split these up.

Also, care to update Documentation/x86/boot.rst to document the new behavior?

Just FYI, the rng seed thing is new in 6.0 anyway. That still leaves
the more obscure dtb one, and whatever else is used, but at least
doing this for only 6.0+ would take care of the rng seed one.

Sure, but there is also the -dtb thing which can already be used to
crash the EFI stub. So even if this doesn't fix an issue occurring in
the wild, I think it is cleaner to clear setup_data on the pure EFI
entry path.

[PATCH v2] efi: x86: Wipe setup_data on pure EFI boot

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

When booting the x86 kernel via EFI using the LoadImage/StartImage boot
services [as opposed to the deprecated EFI handover protocol], the setup
header is taken from the image directly, and given that EFI's LoadImage
has no Linux/x86 specific knowledge regarding struct bootparams or
struct setup_header, any absolute addresses in the setup header must
originate from the file and not from a prior loading stage.

Since we cannot generally predict where LoadImage() decides to load an
image (*), such absolute addresses must be treated as suspect: even if a
prior boot stage intended to make them point somewhere inside the
[signed] image, there is no way to validate that, and if they point at
an arbitrary location in memory, the setup_data nodes will not be
covered by any signatures or TPM measurements either, and could be made
to contain an arbitrary sequence of SETUP_xxx nodes, which could
interfere quite badly with the early x86 boot sequence.

(*) Note that, while LoadImage() does take a buffer/size tuple in
addition to a device path, which can be used to provide the image
contents directly, it will re-allocate such images, as the memory
footprint of an image is generally larger than the PE/COFF file
representation.

Next, in order to allow hypervisors to still use setup_data in scenarios
where it may be useful, bump the x86 boot protocol version, so that
hypervisors, e.g. QEMU in the linked patch, can do the right thing
automatically depending on whether it is safe.

Just FYI, while this is an EFI change for Ard, it also bumps the x86
boot protocol version, so it needs your ack or input on the matter.

protocol version bump [0], I am going to merge just the x86-stub.c
change as a fix for EFI.

Thanks,
