Description Carlos López 2022-07-13 08:06:15 UTC

Via linux-distros:

Hello All,

We recently discovered a bug that allows linux kernel lockdown to be
trivially bypassed using IMA. See the patch, below, for more details.

This has been assigned CVE-2022-21505. We plan to make this public on
2022-07-19 at 10am PT.

~~~
The lockdown LSM is primarily used in conjunction with UEFI Secure Boot.
This LSM may also be used on machines without UEFI. It can also be enabled
when UEFI Secure Boot is disabled. One of lockdown's features is to prevent
kexec from loading untrusted kernels. Lockdown can be enabled through a
bootparam or after the kernel has booted through securityfs.

If IMA appraisal is used with the "ima_appraise=log" boot param,
lockdown can be defeated with kexec on any machine when Secure Boot is
disabled or unavailable. IMA prevents setting "ima_appraise=log"
from the boot param when Secure Boot is enabled, but this does not cover
cases where lockdown is used without Secure Boot.

To defeat lockdown, boot without Secure Boot and add ima_appraise=log
to the kernel command line; then:

$ echo "integrity" > /sys/kernel/security/lockdown
$ echo "appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig" > \
/sys/kernel/security/ima/policy
$ kexec -ls unsigned-kernel

Add a call to verify ima appraisal is set to "enforce" whenever lockdown
is enabled.
