lockdown: also lock down previous kgdb use

2022-06-06T06:33:48+00:00

commit eadb2f47a3ced5c64b23b90fd2a3463f63726066 upstream. KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus should be restricted during lockdown. An attacker with access to a serial port (for example, via a hypervisor console, which some cloud vendors provide over the network) could trigger the debugger so it is important that the debugger respect the lockdown mode when/if it is triggered. Fix this by integrating lockdown into kdb's existing permissions mechanism. Unfortunately kgdb does not have any permissions mechanism (although it certainly could be added later) so, for now, kgdb is simply and brutally disabled by immediately exiting the gdb stub without taking any action. For lockdowns established early in the boot (e.g. the normal case) then this should be fine but on systems where kgdb has set breakpoints before the lockdown is enacted than "bad things" will happen.

lockdown: Allow unprivileged users to see lockdown status

2020-06-22T07:30:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 60cf7c5ed5f7087c4de87a7676b8c82d96fd166c ] A number of userspace tools, such as systemtap, need a way to see the current lockdown state so they can gracefully deal with the kernel being locked down. The state is already exposed in /sys/kernel/security/lockdown, but is only readable by root. Adjust the permissions so unprivileged users can read the state.

powerpc/xmon: Restrict when kernel is locked down

2020-06-07T11:18:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 69393cb03ccdf29f3b452d3482ef918469d1c098 ] Xmon should be either fully or partially disabled depending on the kernel lockdown state. Put xmon into read-only mode for lockdown=integrity and prevent user entry into xmon when lockdown=confidentiality. Xmon checks the lockdown state on every attempted entry: (1) during early xmon'ing (2) when triggered via sysrq (3) when toggled via debugfs (4) when triggered via a previously enabled breakpoint The following lockdown state transitions are handled: (1) lockdown=none -> lockdown=integrity set xmon read-only mode (2) lockdown=none -> lockdown=confidentiality clear all breakpoints, set xmon read-only mode, prevent user re-entry into xmon (3) lockdown=integrity -> lockdown=confidentiality clear all breakpoints, set xmon read-only mode, prevent user re-entry into xmon Suggested-by: Andrew Donnellan Signed-off-by: Christopher M.

efi/efi_test: Lock down /dev/efi_test and require CAP_SYS_ADMIN

2019-10-31T08:40:21+00:00

The driver exposes EFI runtime services to user-space through an IOCTL interface, calling the EFI services function pointers directly without using the efivar API. Disallow access to the /dev/efi_test character device when the kernel is locked down to prevent arbitrary user-space to call EFI runtime services. Also require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to open the chardev to prevent unprivileged users to call the EFI runtime services, instead of just relying on the chardev file mode bits for this. The main user of this driver is the fwts [0] tool that already checks if the effective user ID is 0 and fails otherwise. So this change shouldn't cause any regression to this tool.

Print the content of current->comm in messages generated by lockdown to indicate a restriction that was hit. This makes it a bit easier to find out what caused the message.

tracefs: Restrict tracefs when the kernel is locked down

Tracefs may release more information about the kernel than desirable, so restrict it when the kernel is locked down in confidentiality mode by preventing open().

debugfs: Restrict debugfs when the kernel is locked down

2019-08-20T04:54:17+00:00

Disallow opening of debugfs files that might be used to muck around when the kernel is locked down as various drivers give raw access to hardware through debugfs. Given the effort of auditing all 2000 or so files and manually fixing each one as necessary, I've chosen to apply a heuristic instead. The following changes are made: (1) chmod and chown are disallowed on debugfs objects (though the root dir can be modified by mount and remount, but I'm not worried about that). (2) When the kernel is locked down, only files with the following criteria are permitted to be opened: - The file must have mode 00444 - The file must not have ioctl methods - The file must not have mmap (3) When the kernel is locked down, files may only be opened for reading. Normal device interaction should be done through configfs, sysfs or a miscdev, not debugfs. Note that this makes it unnecessary to specifically lock down show_dsts(), show_devs() and show_call() in the asus-wmi driver. I would actually prefer to lock down all files by default and have the the files unlocked by the creator. This is tricky to manage correctly, though, as there are 19 creation functions and ~1600 call sites (some of them in loops scanning tables).
