[PATCH 00/24] security: Add kernel lockdown

[PATCH 00/24] security: Add kernel lockdown

[David Howells]

Hi Linus,

I've modified my lockdown mode patches to remove the EFI/secure-boot
interaction and to ignore kexec.  Would you be willing to accept this?

David
---

Here's a set of patches to institute a "locked-down mode" in the kernel.
If enabled, the lockdown can be triggered either by configuration (in which
case it cannot be lifted) or by command line (lockdown=1).  In the latter
case, there's an option to allow it to be lifted by a SysRq key on an
attached keyboard.

Three config options are provided:

 (1) CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL makes lockdown mode available.

 (2) CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_MANDATORY builds the kernel with lockdown mode
     enabled at compile time and removes the ability to disable it.

 (3) CONFIG_ALLOW_LOCKDOWN_LIFT_BY_SYSRQ will allow a SysRq combination to
     lift the lockdown.  On x86 this is SysRq+x.  The keys must be pressed
     on an attached keyboard.  Echoing into the trigger file won't work.

Inside the kernel, kernel_is_locked_down() is used to check if the kernel
is in lockdown mode.

For the moment, there is only one mode that locks everything down.  Andy
would prefer that there be two modes, one of which allows the kernel to be
read, but not modified and the other which allows neither.  Modifying this
later to allow what Andy wants wouldn't be particularly hard as there isn't
much additional functionality that this would enable (ie. /dev/kmem,
/dev/kcore, bpf and perf).

A manual page, kernel_lockdown.7, is proposed, to which people will be
directed by messages in dmesg.  This lists the features that are restricted
amongst other things.

The patches are tagged here:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git
	tags/lockdown-20180410
	
The patches can be found here also:

[PATCH 01/24] Add the ability to lock down access to the running kernel image

[David Howells]

Provide a single call to allow kernel code to determine whether the system
should be locked down, thereby disallowing various accesses that might
allow the running kernel image to be changed, including:

 - /dev/mem and similar
 - Loading of unauthorised modules
 - Fiddling with MSR registers
 - Suspend to disk managed by the kernel
 - Use of device DMA

Two kernel configuration options are provided:

 (*) CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL

     This makes lockdown available and applies it to all the points that
     need to be locked down if the mode is set.  Lockdown mode can be
     enabled by providing:

	lockdown=1

     on the command line.

 (*) CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_MANDATORY

     This forces lockdown on at compile time, overriding the command line
     option.

init_lockdown() is used as a hook from which lockdown can be managed in
future.  It has to be called from arch setup code before things like ACPI
are enabled.

Note that, with the other changes in this series, if lockdown mode is
enabled, the kernel will not be able to use certain drivers as the ability
to manually configure hardware parameters would then be prohibited.  This
primarily applies to ISA hardware devices.

Pedantic nit: I think this comment is wrong now? This function
actually just prints stuff.

Given this is a new file, simply use the SPF identifier on top.

checkpatch.pl should now check for this as well.

The issue is where you can directly command a device to do DMA, possibly by
using the wrong driver.  Ask Alan Cox.

So what I stlll absolutely detest about  this series is that I think
many of these things should simply be done as separate config options.

For example, if the distro is sure that it doesn't need /dev/mem, then
why the hell is  this tied to "lockdown" that then may have to be
disabled because *other* changes may not be acceptable (eg people may
need that device DMA, or whatever).

If that /dev/mem access prevention was just instead done as an even
stricter mode of the existing CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, it could just be
enabled unconditionally.

So none of these patches raise my hackles per se. But what continues
to makes me very very uncomfortable is how this is all tied together.

Why is this one magical mode that then - because it has such a big
impact - has to be enabled/disabled as a single magical mode and with
very odd rules?

I think a lot of people would be happier if this wasn't so incestuous
and mixing together independent things under one name, and one flag.

I think a lot of the secure boot problems were exacerbated by that mixup.

So I would seriously ask that the distros that have been using these
patches look at which parts of lockdown they could make unconditional
(because it doesn't break machines), and which ones need that escape
clause.

Optionally, it might make sense to add separate config options for
each of these pieces which can be unconditionally enabled, and a
separate option for secure boot which selects all of them? As much as
I hate select, it might make sense here.  Of course the flip side to
that, is users no longer have one big switch "turn off secure boot"
which turns it all off in case of trouble.

It's actually CONFIG_DEVMEM, CONFIG_DEVKMEM and CONFIG_DEVPORT, it's
just not obvious from the patch.

But the important part is this part:

>> So I would seriously ask that the distros that have been using these
>> patches look at which parts of lockdown they could make unconditional

.. because I get the feeling that not a lot of people have actually
been testing this, because "turn off secure boot" is such a universal
thing when people boot Linux.

So it's really the whole claim that distributions have been running
for this for the last five years that I wonder about, and how often
people end up being told: "just disable secure boot":.

But if people really don't need DEVMEM/DEVKMEM/DEVPORT, maybe we
should just disable them in the default configs, and consider them
legacy.

I'm just surprised. I suspect a lot of people end up actually using
devmem as a fallback for dmidecode etc. Maybe those people don't boot
with EFI secure mode, but if so that just shows that this whole
"hardening" is just security theater.

Very rarely in my experience. And the one time that we sent a kernel
to updates-testing that was signed with the test key instead of the
real key, we had a surprisingly high number of reports from users that
it was broken before the update even got synched to mirrors.  So we
don't have actual numbers of users running active secure boot with
Fedora, but we do know it is more than we expected.  The majority of
people who do run into issues are those running out of tree modules,
who haven't imported any sort of key for local signing.  This isn't
like SELinux was at launch where it was so invasive that a large
number of users instinctively turned it off with every installation, I
would guess even people who turned it off in the past, don't even
think about it when they get a new machine and leave it on.

Good. Do you have a handle on the reasons?

Because I'm assuming it's not /dev/{mem,kmem,port}? Because I'd really
be happier if we just say "those are legacy, don't enable them at all
for modern distros".

That way they'd _stay_ disabled even if somebody cannot handle the
other limitations, like DMA etc.

By doing this, you are basically committing to making the
protect-kernel-integrity vs protect-kernel-secrecy split be a
second-class citizen if it gets added.

How about lockdown=integrity_and_secrecy or lockdown=2 if you feel
like using numbers?

[PATCH 02/24] Add a SysRq option to lift kernel lockdown

[David Howells]

From: Kyle McMartin <kyle@redhat.com>

Make an option to provide a sysrq key that will lift the kernel lockdown,
thereby allowing the running kernel image to be accessed and modified.

On x86 this is triggered with SysRq+x, but this key may not be available on
all arches, so it is set by setting LOCKDOWN_LIFT_KEY in asm/setup.h.
Since this macro must be defined in an arch to be able to use this facility
for that arch, the Kconfig option is restricted to arches that support it.

In the current form, this is probably incompatible with USB/IP (which
Debian seems to be shipping as a module by default), right? And
perhaps also with dummy_hcd (if I understand correctly what it's
doing)?

[PATCH 03/24] ima: require secure_boot rules in lockdown mode

[David Howells]

From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Require the "secure_boot" rules, whether or not it is specified
on the boot command line, for both the builtin and custom policies
in secure boot lockdown mode.

[PATCH 04/24] Enforce module signatures if the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

If the kernel is locked down, require that all modules have valid
signatures that we can verify or that IMA can validate the file.

I have adjusted the errors generated:

 (1) If there's no signature (ENODATA) or we can't check it (ENOPKG,
     ENOKEY), then:

     (a) If signatures are enforced then EKEYREJECTED is returned.

     (b) If IMA will have validated the image, return 0 (okay).

     (c) If there's no signature or we can't check it, but the kernel is
	 locked down then EPERM is returned (this is then consistent with
	 other lockdown cases).

 (2) If the signature is unparseable (EBADMSG, EINVAL), the signature fails
     the check (EKEYREJECTED) or a system error occurs (eg. ENOMEM), we
     return the error we got.

Note that the X.509 code doesn't check for key expiry as the RTC might not
be valid or might not have been transferred to the kernel's clock yet.

[PATCH 05/24] Restrict /dev/{mem, kmem, port} when the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

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

Allowing users to read and write to core kernel memory makes it possible
for the kernel to be subverted, avoiding module loading restrictions, and
also to steal cryptographic information.

Disallow /dev/mem and /dev/kmem from being opened this when the kernel has
been locked down to prevent this.

Also disallow /dev/port from being opened to prevent raw ioport access and
thus DMA from being used to accomplish the same thing.

[PATCH 06/24] kexec_load: Disable at runtime if the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

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

The kexec_load() syscall permits the loading and execution of arbitrary
code in ring 0, which is something that lock-down is meant to prevent. It
makes sense to disable kexec_load() in this situation.

This does not affect kexec_file_load() syscall which can check for a
signature on the image to be booted.

Maybing I am missing it but I am not seeing anything that would require
kexec_file_load be configured such that it checks the loaded kernel.

Without that I don't see the point of disabling kexec_load.

The IMA "secure boot" policy requires the kexec image to be signed.
?This call to kernel_is_locked_down() could be replaced with a call
to?security_kernel_read_file(NULL, READING_KEXEC_IMAGE).

It would be similar to the existing init_module syscall calling
security_kernel_read_file().

David, enabling the IMA-appraisal "secure boot" policy should probably
not be dependent on lockdown either.

The problem is that you have to store the hibernated kernel image encrypted,
but you can't store the decryption key on disk unencrypted or you've just
wasted the effort.

So the firmware has to unlock the image, asking the user for a password to
unlock the key.

Why firmware?

Either the boot kernel could figure out how to ask for a password (or
unseal using the TPM) or we could defer this to userspace.  The latter
should already work using kexec-jump, no?

A simplified approach might be to encrypt the image during hibernation
using a user-provided passphrase and then ask for that passphrase during
resume to decrypt the image.

The attacker would then need to know the passphrase to substitute their
own image for the original one successfully.

Yeah, Joey Lee (adding to CC) implemented it here:

I think there have been more respins, Joey definitely knows more details 
and status quo.

The design is specifically tailored for secure-boot environments though.

I am working on the next version of hibernation encryption and authentication:
    https://github.com/joeyli/linux-s4sign/wiki 

My plan is:

- Hibernation encryption:
  There is a draft patch to encrypt image by ctr(aes). This patch works
  with the first version of hibernation verification:
  https://github.com/joeyli/linux-s4sign/commit/6a9a0113bb221c036ebd0f6321b7191283fe4929

- Adapt hibernation to key retention service:
    - Using the encrypted key to derive encrypt key and auth key to
      encrypt and hmac snapshot image. Put the encrypted key in the image
      header of snapshot.
    - The encrypted key will be encrypted by KMK (kernel master key). Either
      trusted key(sealed by TPM) or EFI key (explain in later) can be the KMK.
      If there have appropriate UI support in initrd, user key can also be
      the KMK.
    - Similar with the enrolling EVM key, but more earler:
      The systemd and dracut must be changed for enrolling kernel master key
      before the swap partition be mounted.

- EFI key:
    - A new master key type to key retention service.
	- It can be a new option beyond trusted key(TPM) and user key.
    - EFI stub generates a random key and stores in EFI boot service
      variable:
	- This random key in boot variable can be called ERK (EFI Root Key)
	- The ERK is secure when secure boot enabled.
	    - User must aware and enable secure boot by themself if they want.
	- ERK can be a secret to encrypt a random number for generate a EFI key
	   - The EFI key can be used by hibernation encryption/authentication.
	   - The EFI key can be a master key to generate a encrypted key for EVM.
    - Rescue mechanism for ERK:
	- The ERK may be regenerated after the old ERK be erased by firmware update
	  or firmware recovery.
	- Current idea is using the public key in first/second trusted keyring
	  to encrypt the ERK for backup. User can enroll the EFI key with old ERK to
	  request kernel to re-encrypt the EFI key with new ERK.


Thanks a lot!

[PATCH 09/24] PCI: Lock down BAR access when the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

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

Any hardware that can potentially generate DMA has to be locked down in
order to avoid it being possible for an attacker to modify kernel code,
allowing them to circumvent disabled module loading or module signing.
Default to paranoid - in future we can potentially relax this for
sufficiently IOMMU-isolated devices.

[PATCH 10/24] x86: Lock down IO port access when the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

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

IO port access would permit users to gain access to PCI configuration
registers, which in turn (on a lot of hardware) give access to MMIO
register space. This would potentially permit root to trigger arbitrary
DMA, so lock it down by default.

This also implicitly locks down the KDADDIO, KDDELIO, KDENABIO and
KDDISABIO console ioctls.

[PATCH 11/24] x86/msr: Restrict MSR access when the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

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

Writing to MSRs should not be allowed if the kernel is locked down, since

MSR accesses are logged for the purposes of building up a whitelist as per
Alan Cox's suggestion.

[PATCH 14/24] acpi: Disable ACPI table override if the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

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 securelevel is set, 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.

[PATCH 15/24] acpi: Disable APEI error injection if the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

From: Linn Crosetto <linn@hpe.com>

ACPI provides an error injection mechanism, EINJ, for debugging and testing
the ACPI Platform Error Interface (APEI) and other RAS features.  If
supported by the firmware, ACPI specification 5.0 and later provide for a
way to specify a physical memory address to which to inject the error.

Injecting errors through EINJ can produce errors which to the platform are
indistinguishable from real hardware errors.  This can have undesirable
side-effects, such as causing the platform to mark hardware as needing
replacement.

While it does not provide a method to load unauthenticated privileged code,
the effect of these errors may persist across reboots and affect trust in
the underlying hardware, so disable error injection through EINJ if
the kernel is locked down.

[PATCH 19/24] x86/mmiotrace: Lock down the testmmiotrace module

[David Howells]

The testmmiotrace module shouldn't be permitted when the kernel is locked
down as it can be used to arbitrarily read and write MMIO space.

[PATCH 22/24] bpf: Restrict kernel image access functions when the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

There are some bpf functions can be used to read kernel memory:
bpf_probe_read, bpf_probe_write_user and bpf_trace_printk.  These allow
private keys in kernel memory (e.g. the hibernation image signing key) to
be read by an eBPF program.

Completely prohibit the use of BPF when the kernel is locked down.

[PATCH 24/24] debugfs: Restrict debugfs when the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

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).

Why is mounting debugfs allowed at all?  Last I checked (it has been a while)
the code quality of debugfs was fine for debugging but debugfs was not
safe to mount on a production system.

Maybe the code quality is better now but for a filesystem that is
not supposed to be needed for developers letting us mount debugfs
seems odd.

Why not just disable debugfs entirely?  This half-hearted way to sorta
lock it down is odd, it is meant to not be there at all, nothing in your
normal system should ever depend on it.

So again just don't allow it to be mounted at all, much simpler and more
obvious as to what is going on.

I agree.  But debugfs has been abused and it seems that there are some things
that use it as an interface between a kernel driver and the userspace side.

Yeah, I agree - and then I got complaints because it seems that it's been
abused to allow drivers and userspace components to communicate.

With in-kernel code?  Please let me know and I'll go fix it up to not
allow that, as that is not ok.

I do know of some bad examples of out-of-tree code abusing debugfs to do
crazy things (battery level monitoring?), but that's their own fault...

debugfs is for DEBUGGING!  For anything you all feel should be "secure",
then just disable it entirely.

Debugfs is very, very useful for, ahem, debugging.  I really think
this is an example of why we should split lockdown into the read and
write varieties and allow mounting and reading debugfs when only write
is locked down.

Ok, but be sure that there are no "secrets" in those debugging files if
you really buy into the whole "lock down" mess...

Really, it's easier to just disable the whole thing.

I mostly agree with your sentiment.  I'm saying that, for most uses, I
*don't* buy into the idea that a normal secure-boot-supporting distro
should block debugfs.  I sometimes like to ask people who report
problems to send me the contents of such-and-such file in debugfs, and
I think it should keep working.  Blocking write access to debugfs is
mostly sensible for a lockdown system, but blocking read only makes
sense if you're worried about straight-up bugs or if you think that
debugfs contains protection-worthy secrets.

What I want to see is:

lockdown=protect_integrity: debugfs is read-only, bpf and perf are
unrestricted, iopl and ioperm are disabled, etc.

lockdown=protect_integrity_and_secrecy: debugfs is gone, bpf and perf
are restricted, plus all the restrictions from
lockdown=protect_integrity

Distros should strongly prefer lockdown=protect_integrity (or
lockdown=off) by default.  lockdown=protect_integrity_and_secrecy is
for custom setups, embedded applications, etc.

It allows someone to give everyone access to files that should perhaps only be
accessible by root.  Besides, if you disable lockdown then you can do this if
you want.

Whilst that is a laudable idea, there are at least a couple of thousand files
to analyse, some of them doing weird stuff in drivers that aren't easy to
understand, and some of them with lists of files, some of which might be safe
and some of which aren't safe.  Even some reads that look like they ought to
be safe have side effects (such as read-and-reset counters).

Besides, define 'safe'.  Is reading a particular reg on a device and returning
the value through a debugfs read safe, for example?  What about files where
reading is harmless, but writing needs to be disallowed?

I did try initially passing in a flag to say whether something was safe or
not, abusing an inode flag to store it since debugfs uses a plain inode
struct, but then I realised just how many ways there are to create debugfs
files and it started to get out of hand.  My initial idea also included
locking everything down by default and marking things unlocked on an as-needed
basis.

If you have the time to audit all these files, then that would be great.

I lean more towards the lock debugfs down entirely side.
