Documented in commits as of now, particularly 8701d14. Will progress after reviewing coreboot codebase and maybe even open issues since there is already discrepencies for FMAP extraction/measurements as of now. See commit for details.

This is to give practical context (vs theoritical content as comment+ linuxboot/heads-wiki#107 (comment)) on what is attempted to be done to address current RFC comments:


At term

  • tpmr helper script will have functional tpmr calc_pcr, useable externall through introspect functions to be able to replicate measured content outside of coreboot measured boot code:
    • Take cbmem accessible memory to extract FMAP and properly measure it the same way coreboot measures it in measured boot code
    • Use cbfs to access mapped CBFS filesystem to validate (instrospect) sealed TOTP/HOTP/TPM DUK parts, by being able to validate files integrity
  • Finaly attain Implement forward sealing of firmware upgrades #523. If we can validate current state, we will be able to eventually seal content of future calculated PCRs content from those introspection helpers, applied to ROM to be flashed instead of validating runtime accessible content.

Let's go back to the basics.

Coreboot measured boot does its thing, leading to TPM PCRs being extended by:

~ # cbmem -L
coreboot TPM log:

Current code is coreboot+heads extend operations of PCRs, leading to sealing/unsealing of secrets.

NOTE: THIS IS NON-HOTP UNDER QEMU (qemu-coreboot-whiptail-tpm1 board) which has DEBUG/TRACE activated in board config by default

On boot in debug mode, one can see:

On master, logic present trusts TCPA/TPM event log to be the "replay" base.

Current PR will try to add introspection required bases so that TCPA/TPM event log alone is not trusted, but validated. As explained in RFC under heeads-wiki, Heads packs other tools, including cbfs to read/write from/to cbfs (osresearch/flashtools built cbfs binary) and packs cbmem (coreboot) as of now which if used, would require more then FMAP+bootblock+++ compromise of coreboot base to be able to bypass Heads introspection.

I will point discussion to this so that we can now understand where we want to go instead of requestionning the base and goals of this attempt or focus more directly on what is missing, what we have and where we want to go for next steps.

With 5574fb4 we can use cbmem to extract FMAP and pad it up to next 512 byte boundary with ff, and then use cbfs to extract all measured boot coreboot stages.

PoC output looks like this from recovery shell on qemu-coreboot-whiptail-tpm1 (debug+trace activated):

It looks like we could add helpers in Makefile to manipulate, post rom assembly per coreboot, an additional forward sealing file containing the expected PCR value for PCR2 for next steps.

Here, the question is what we would want to do with that

  • Validate sealed PCR2 values of firmware prior of calling totp unseal?
  • Flash new firmware and then do the forward resealing of TPM DUK?

Command substitutions should not be used in command arguments, as failure of the command is ignored. Instead, they should be assigned to a temporary variable.

…nks @githubisnonfree!)

- Addition of ifdtool from coreboot project to extract gbe
  - As of now, its implemented in a hacky way:
    - ifdtool dir is copied over ifdtool_cross at coreboot's module configure step
    - then initrd packing step checks for CONFIG_NVMUTIL and builds and pack ifdtool_cross/ifdtool
    - As a result, what is build under build/coreboot/$BOARD is coreboot's real, where build/coreboot/ content follows Makefile rules
- CONFIG_NVMUTIL in board config adds both ifdtool_cross/ifdtool and nvmutil into initrd
- Added CONFIG_NVMUTIL to all hotp-maximized boards (to test for
 size changes)

Manually tested (working!):
- backup rom from: `flashrom -p internal -r /tmp/backup.rom`
- go to that dir: `cd /tmp`
- extract gbe from ifdtool on backup.rom: `ifdtool -x backup.rom`
- source shell functions: `. /etc/functions`
- show current PHY mac address: `nvm showmac flashregion_3_gbe.bin`
- generate mac address from sourced shell functions: `newmac=$(generate_random_mac_address)`
- show new mac: `echo $newmac`
- change mac from nvmtool on extracted gbe: `nvm flashregion_3_gbe.bin setmac $newmac`
- insert modified gbe into backup.rom.new with ifdtool: `ifdtool -i gbe:flashregion_3_gbe.bin backup.rom`
- flash back modified gbe only through flashrom: `flashrom -p internal --ifd -i gbe -w backup.rom.new`

@DemiMarie thanks for the early code review, but the reason I poked you here was to get your input on how trivial it is today to tamper bootblock and measured boot together, with end PCR bank values sealed/unsealed for secret release. How quotes would make it better, not really to get code review on PoC code material.

This PR lay down the technical details for anyone to tamper coreboot measured boot scheme (either tamper with coreboot bootblock + phases to report their prior known hardcoded hashes instead of passing content to be hashed that extend PCR today), alongside with also hacking Heads to hardcode LUKS header hash, CBFS generated+injected pubring + trustdb+config overrides (PCR7), kernel module hashes (PCR5) to permit, while passing real TPM DUK passphrase of the end user (rate limited), to unseal LUKS key to final OS through additional cpio passed to kexec call to final OS, so end users type Disk Encryption Key (TPM DUK) related secret in a known safe space.

In other words: how to attack this and pass from "bootblock based root of trust theoretically flawed and unfit" to a successful attack showing measured boot + Heads(sealing/unsealing both firmware remote attestation TPMTOTP and runtime attestation prior of TPM DUK unsealing with TPM DUK passphrase) not good enough AND leading to TPM DUK being released into cpio passed to kexec call with user provided TPM DUK nvram region, authenticated with both replayed (tampered) measurements and proper nvram passphrase, leading to save that passphrase somewhere or saving TPM released DUK key somewhere to capture, and how all of this would not leave an attacked to implant a keyboard sniffer instead and where any of what is discussed here would change anything anyway, and is the simplest attack an attacker would do to simply implant and come back next days to steal the computer altogether, not having to do any of the complex stuff we are talking about here.


For reference, see https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/discussion-on-purism/2627/158 which points back here.
I have left enough e-ink everywhere and nobody actually used this PR code to prove theoretical attack becoming practical, and where safeguarding bootblock behind WP/externally enforced tamper evidence would be a solution to all of this.

“FlashKeeper: where SpiSpy meets Stateless Laptop jaded dreams: A retrofit plan first” will take place at 09-20, 15:10 in Social Hub Main Room.

Which will be presented/design decisions challenged at QubesOS mini-summit 2024 where I will present and have a chance to discuss all of this in details, maybe even around a beer later on at night. @DemiMarie : looking forward to this.

MEANWHILE TECHNICAL PEOPLE, I remind you that you can play with qemu-whiptail-tpm1/tpm2 board configs directly today: which enforces a sniffable (pcap) virtual TPM, a virtual OpenGPG card, everything needed basically test all of this without needing any physical hardware to render an evil maid PoC based on this PR PoC and follow the white rabiit in this hole, equipped only with docker ce alone to build reproducible Heads images right now and provide practical PoC of an evil maid attack.

Follow:

  • https://github.com/linuxboot/heads/blob/master/targets/qemu.md#swtpm-on-nix-docker-image
  • ie
    • docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --network host --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) tlaurion/heads-dev-env:latest -- make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-whiptail-tpm2
    • docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --network host --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) tlaurion/heads-dev-env:latest -- make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-whiptail-tpm2 run
    • Do OEM Factory Resetf wizard, follow notes in referred link above on how to extract public key from emulated SUB Thumb drive (losetup, mount, cp under heads dir), then point to it in next command
    • docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --network host --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) tlaurion/heads-dev-env:latest -- make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-whiptail-tpm2 PUBKEY_ASC=<path_to_key.asc> inject_gpg
    • docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --network host --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) tlaurion/heads-dev-env:latest -- make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-whiptail-tpm2 PUBKEY_ASC=<path_to_key.asc> run
    • You will of course need to follow ISO OS install notes in above referred docs (just point to iso in heads local dir) to fully test TPM DUK etc on a working simulated setup following https://osresearch.net/InstallingOS/#generic-os-installation
  • other usage notes in that direct link, above.
    This will provide OP similar TRACE+DEBUG output traces on dual consoles, permitting you to hack this efficiently. So please do it.

Bounty tag added (I won't pay, who would?)
IF you prove this flawed practically, the whole coreboot ecosystem, Heads and all coreboot enforced, reasonably secure platforms would benefit of that vuln, you would have a CVE in your name and shake the future of trustworthy computing forever for the better. So please do it if you think bootblock enforced RoT is not enough.

@tlaurion Bootblock-based root of trust is already known to be broken unless either Intel Boot Guard/AMD Platform Secure Boot is in use or the bootblock cannot be tampered with. Chromebooks ensure this by putting it in a SPI chip with the write protect pin always enabled in hardware.

This is prerequisite for #1827 (comment)

Reasoning:
To be able to seal TOTP/HOTP/TPM DUK without using TPM measured boot logs or actual measurements, there needs to be mechanisms to extract info from firmware to simulate what would be in TPM PCR banks for forward sealing.

Practical needs here outside of a firmware upgrade:

  • OEM factory reset needs to be able to forward seal config.user + pub keyring + trustdb into TPMTOTP+HOTP + LUKS header + TPM DUK prior of reboot so that TPMTOTP+HOTP+TPM DUK are valid upon reboot without further action from OEM
  • User reownership needs the same as OEM

On firmware upgrade:

  • Heads needs to be able to forward seal TPM PCR2 measured boot event log expected measurements, alongside of above OEM/Re-ownership changes highlighted above.

In lack of doing so, Heads UX stays complicated.
