[PATCH v2 1/3] KEYS: trusted_tpm1: Compare HMAC values in constant time

by Eric Biggers

To prevent timing attacks, HMAC value comparison needs to be constant time. Replace the memcmp() with the correct function, crypto_memneq(). [For the Fixes commit I used the commit that introduced the memcmp(). It predates the introduction of crypto_memneq(), but it was still a bug at the time even though a helper function didn't exist yet.] Fixes: d00a1c72f7f4 ("keys: add new trusted key-type") Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers(a)kernel.org> --- security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm1.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm1.c b/security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm1.c index 89c9798d18007..e73f2c6c817a0 100644 --- a/security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm1.c +++ b/security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm1.c @@ -5,10 +5,11 @@ * * See Documentation/security/keys/trusted-encrypted.rst */ #include <crypto/hash_info.h> +#include <crypto/utils.h> #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/slab.h> #include <linux/parser.h> #include <linux/string.h> #include <linux/err.h> @@ -239,11 +240,11 @@ int TSS_checkhmac1(unsigned char *buffer, TPM_NONCE_SIZE, enonce, TPM_NONCE_SIZE, ononce, 1, continueflag, 0, 0); if (ret < 0) goto out; - if (memcmp(testhmac, authdata, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE)) + if (crypto_memneq(testhmac, authdata, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE)) ret = -EINVAL; out: kfree_sensitive(sdesc); return ret; } @@ -332,20 +333,20 @@ static int TSS_checkhmac2(unsigned char *buffer, ret = TSS_rawhmac(testhmac1, key1, keylen1, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE, paramdigest, TPM_NONCE_SIZE, enonce1, TPM_NONCE_SIZE, ononce, 1, continueflag1, 0, 0); if (ret < 0) goto out; - if (memcmp(testhmac1, authdata1, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE)) { + if (crypto_memneq(testhmac1, authdata1, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE)) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } ret = TSS_rawhmac(testhmac2, key2, keylen2, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE, paramdigest, TPM_NONCE_SIZE, enonce2, TPM_NONCE_SIZE, ononce, 1, continueflag2, 0, 0); if (ret < 0) goto out; - if (memcmp(testhmac2, authdata2, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE)) + if (crypto_memneq(testhmac2, authdata2, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE)) ret = -EINVAL; out: kfree_sensitive(sdesc); return ret; } -- 2.50.1

When running with the "default treatment of SMIs" in effect (the only mode KVM supports), SMIs do not generate a VM-Exit that is visible to host (non-SMM) software, and instead transitions directly from VMX non-root to SMM. And critically, DEBUGCTL isn't context switched by hardware on SMI or RSM, i.e. SMM will run with whatever value was resident in hardware at the time of the SMI. Failure to preserve FREEZE_IN_SMM results in the PMU unexpectedly counting events while the CPU is executing in SMM, which can pollute profiling and potentially leak information into the guest. Check for changes in FREEZE_IN_SMM prior to every entry into KVM's inner run loop, as the bit can be toggled in IRQ context via IPI callback (SMP function call), by way of /sys/devices/cpu/freeze_on_smi. Add a field in kvm_x86_ops to communicate which DEBUGCTL bits need to be preserved, as FREEZE_IN_SMM is only supported and defined for Intel CPUs, i.e. explicitly checking FREEZE_IN_SMM in common x86 is at best weird, and at worst could lead to undesirable behavior in the future if AMD CPUs ever happened to pick up a collision with the bit. Exempt TDX vCPUs, i.e. protected guests, from the check, as the TDX Module owns and controls GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL. WARN in SVM if KVM_RUN_LOAD_DEBUGCTL is set, mostly to document that the lack of handling isn't a KVM bug (TDX already WARNs on any run_flag). Lastly, explicitly reload GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL on a VM-Fail that is missed by KVM but detected by hardware, i.e. in nested_vmx_restore_host_state(). Doing so avoids the need to track host_debugctl on a per-VMCS basis, as GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL is unconditionally written by prepare_vmcs02() and load_vmcs12_host_state(). For the VM-Fail case, even though KVM won't have actually entered the guest, vcpu_enter_guest() will have run with vmcs02 active and thus could result in vmcs01 being run with a stale value.

When running with the "default treatment of SMIs" in effect (the only mode KVM supports), SMIs do not generate a VM-Exit that is visible to host (non-SMM) software, and instead transitions directly from VMX non-root to SMM. And critically, DEBUGCTL isn't context switched by hardware on SMI or RSM, i.e. SMM will run with whatever value was resident in hardware at the time of the SMI. Failure to preserve FREEZE_IN_SMM results in the PMU unexpectedly counting events while the CPU is executing in SMM, which can pollute profiling and potentially leak information into the guest. Check for changes in FREEZE_IN_SMM prior to every entry into KVM's inner run loop, as the bit can be toggled in IRQ context via IPI callback (SMP function call), by way of /sys/devices/cpu/freeze_on_smi. Add a field in kvm_x86_ops to communicate which DEBUGCTL bits need to be preserved, as FREEZE_IN_SMM is only supported and defined for Intel CPUs, i.e. explicitly checking FREEZE_IN_SMM in common x86 is at best weird, and at worst could lead to undesirable behavior in the future if AMD CPUs ever happened to pick up a collision with the bit. Exempt TDX vCPUs, i.e. protected guests, from the check, as the TDX Module owns and controls GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL. WARN in SVM if KVM_RUN_LOAD_DEBUGCTL is set, mostly to document that the lack of handling isn't a KVM bug (TDX already WARNs on any run_flag). Lastly, explicitly reload GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL on a VM-Fail that is missed by KVM but detected by hardware, i.e. in nested_vmx_restore_host_state(). Doing so avoids the need to track host_debugctl on a per-VMCS basis, as GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL is unconditionally written by prepare_vmcs02() and load_vmcs12_host_state().

When running with the "default treatment of SMIs" in effect (the only mode KVM supports), SMIs do not generate a VM-Exit that is visible to host (non-SMM) software, and instead transitions directly from VMX non-root to SMM. And critically, DEBUGCTL isn't context switched by hardware on SMI or RSM, i.e. SMM will run with whatever value was resident in hardware at the time of the SMI. Failure to preserve FREEZE_IN_SMM results in the PMU unexpectedly counting events while the CPU is executing in SMM, which can pollute profiling and potentially leak information into the guest. Check for changes in FREEZE_IN_SMM prior to every entry into KVM's inner run loop, as the bit can be toggled in IRQ context via IPI callback (SMP function call), by way of /sys/devices/cpu/freeze_on_smi. Add a field in kvm_x86_ops to communicate which DEBUGCTL bits need to be preserved, as FREEZE_IN_SMM is only supported and defined for Intel CPUs, i.e. explicitly checking FREEZE_IN_SMM in common x86 is at best weird, and at worst could lead to undesirable behavior in the future if AMD CPUs ever happened to pick up a collision with the bit. Exempt TDX vCPUs, i.e. protected guests, from the check, as the TDX Module owns and controls GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL. WARN in SVM if KVM_RUN_LOAD_DEBUGCTL is set, mostly to document that the lack of handling isn't a KVM bug (TDX already WARNs on any run_flag). Lastly, explicitly reload GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL on a VM-Fail that is missed by KVM but detected by hardware, i.e. in nested_vmx_restore_host_state(). Doing so avoids the need to track host_debugctl on a per-VMCS basis, as GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL is unconditionally written by prepare_vmcs02() and load_vmcs12_host_state(). For the VM-Fail case, even though KVM won't have actually entered the guest, vcpu_enter_guest() will have run with vmcs02 active and thus could result in vmcs01 being run with a stale value.
