From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>
Define a new TLV-based format for keys and signatures, aiming to store and
use in the kernel the crypto material from other unsupported formats
(e.g. PGP).
TLV fields have been defined to fill the corresponding kernel structures
public_key, public_key_signature and key_preparsed_payload.
Keys:
struct public_key { struct key_preparsed_payload {
KEY_PUB --> void *key;
u32 keylen; --> prep->payload.data[asym_crypto]
KEY_ALGO --> const char *pkey_algo;
KEY_KID0
KEY_KID1 --> prep->payload.data[asym_key_ids]
KEY_KID2
KEY_DESC --> prep->description
Signatures:
struct public_key_signature {
SIG_S --> u8 *s;
u32 s_size;
SIG_KEY_ALGO --> const char *pkey_algo;
SIG_HASH_ALGO --> const char *hash_algo;
u32 digest_size;
SIG_ENC --> const char *encoding;
SIG_KID0
SIG_KID1 --> struct asymmetric_key_id *auth_ids[3];
SIG_KID2
For keys, since the format conversion has to be done in user space, user
space is assumed to be trusted, in this proposal. Without this assumption,
a malicious conversion tool could make a user load to the kernel a
different key than the one expected.
That should not be a particular problem for keys that are embedded in the
kernel image and loaded at boot, since the conversion happens in a trusted
environment such as the building infrastructure of the Linux distribution
vendor.
In the other cases, such as enrolling a key through the Machine Owner Key
(MOK) mechanism, the user is responsible to ensure that the crypto material
carried in the original format remains the same after the conversion.
For signatures, assuming the strength of the crypto algorithms, altering
the crypto material is simply a Denial-of-Service (DoS), as data can be
validated only with the right signature.
This patch set also offers the following contributions:
- An API similar to the PKCS#7 one, to verify the authenticity of system
data through user asymmetric keys and signatures
- A mechanism to store a keyring blob in the kernel image and to extract
and load the keys at system boot
- eBPF binding, so that data authenticity verification with user asymmetric
keys and signatures can be carried out also with eBPF programs
- A new command for gnupg (in user space), to convert keys and signatures
from PGP to the new kernel format
The primary use case for this patch set is to verify the authenticity of
RPM package headers with the PGP keys of the Linux distribution. Once their
authenticity is verified, file digests can be extracted from those RPM
headers and used as reference values for IMA Appraisal.
Compared to the previous patch set, the main difference is not relying on
User Mode Drivers (UMDs) for the conversion from the original format to the
kernel format, due to the concern that full isolation of the UMD process
cannot be achieved against a fully privileged system user (root).
The discussion is still ongoing here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/eb31920bd00e2c921b0aa6ebed8745cb0130b0e1.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
This however does not prevent the goal mentioned above of verifying the
authenticity of RPM headers to be achieved. The fact that Linux
distribution vendors do the conversion in their infrastructure is a good
enough guarantee.
A very quick way to test the patch set is to execute:
# gpg --conv-kernel /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide-primary | keyctl padd asymmetric "" @u
# keyctl show @u
Keyring
762357580 --alswrv 0 65534 keyring: _uid.0
567216072 --als--v 0 0 \_ asymmetric: PGP: 18b8e74c
Patches 1-2 preliminarly export some definitions to user space so that
conversion tools can specify the right public key algorithms and signature
encodings (digest algorithms are already exported).
Patches 3-5 introduce the user asymmetric keys and signatures.
Patches 6 introduces a system API for verifying the authenticity of system
data through user asymmetric keys and signatures.
Patch 7-8 introduce a mechanism to store a keyring blob with user
asymmetric keys in the kernel image, and load them at system boot.
Patches 9-10 introduce the eBPF binding and corresponding test (which can
be enabled only after the gnupg patches are upstreamed).
Patches 1-2 [GNUPG] introduce the new gpg command --conv-kernel to convert
PGP keys and signatures to the new kernel format.
Changelog
v1:
- Remove useless check in validate_key() (suggested by Yonghong)
- Don't rely on User Mode Drivers for the conversion from the original
format to the kernel format
- Use the more extensible TLV format, instead of a fixed structure
