Subject: [PATCH 08/10] efi_loader: do not load an image that cannot be measured
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:14:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <be672b54-42c4-48fa-a7ad-994a7ab47ea7@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <633dddd6-ee22-4cd6-a8b6-cb7df0650fae@gmail.com>
From: Ana Bobillo <anabobillo3@gmail.com>
With TCG2 measured boot, efi_load_pe() measures each image into PCR 4
or 2, but it gives up only when the measurement reports that no TPM was
found. Any other error is ignored, so an image whose hash cannot be
computed, because efi_image_parse() rejects it, or whose PCR could not
be extended is loaded and can be started without being measured. With
the range checks added to efi_image_parse() earlier in this series,
more malformed images take this path.
As EDK2's DxeTpm2MeasureBootLib does, refuse to load an image whose
measurement failed: free the memory allocated for it, which the error
path leaked so far, and return EFI_ACCESS_DENIED, so that LoadImage()
returns no image handle. A full event log is no error, as there: the
PCR is extended all the same.
Fixes: 163a0d7e2cbd ("efi_loader: add PE/COFF image measurement")
