[PATCH v2 4/4] ef/libstub: arm/arm64: randomize the base of the UEFI rt services region

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update the allocation logic for the virtual mapping of the UEFI runtime
services to start from a randomized base address if KASLR is in effect,
and if the UEFI firmware exposes an implementation of EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL.

This makes it more difficult to predict the location of exploitable
data structures in the runtime UEFI firmware, which increases robustness
against attacks. Note that these regions are only mapped during the
time a runtime service call is in progress, and only on a single CPU
at a time, bit give the lack of a downside, let's enable it nonetheless.
