[PATCH V35 14/29] ACPI: Limit access to custom_method when the kernel is locked down

[PATCH V35 14/29] ACPI: Limit access to custom_method when the kernel is locked down

[Matthew Garrett]

From: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>

custom_method effectively allows arbitrary access to system memory, making
it possible for an attacker to circumvent restrictions on module loading.
Disable it if the kernel is locked down.

[PATCH V35 15/29] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down

[Matthew Garrett]

From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com>

This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel, which
makes it possible for a user to modify the workings of hardware .  Reject
the option when the kernel is locked down.

[PATCH V35 16/29] acpi: Disable ACPI table override if the kernel is locked down

[Matthew Garrett]

From: Linn Crosetto <linn@hpe.com>

From the kernel documentation (initrd_table_override.txt):

  If the ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE compile option is true, it is possible
  to override nearly any ACPI table provided by the BIOS with an
  instrumented, modified one.

When lockdown is enabled, the kernel should disallow any unauthenticated
changes to kernel space.  ACPI tables contain code invoked by the kernel,
so do not allow ACPI tables to be overridden if the kernel is locked down.

I'm very sorry I noticed this late, but have to say this will not work for
X86 with latest kernel code.

acpi_physical_address __init acpi_os_get_root_pointer(void)
{
        acpi_physical_address pa;

#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
        if (acpi_rsdp)
                return acpi_rsdp;
#endif
        pa = acpi_arch_get_root_pointer();
        if (pa)
                return pa;
[snip]

In above code, the later acpi_arch_get_root_pointer still get acpi_rsdp
from cmdline param if provided.

You can check the arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c, and
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c

In X86 early code, cmdline provided acpi_rsdp pointer will be saved in boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr;
and the used in x86_default_get_root_pointer

No problem, thank you for catching this! I'll update the patch and
send a new version.
