This bytes([0]) NUL byte ends up in the efi_secret /sys path. Dropping
it doesn't seem to impact injecting the secret at all
The specs/sev-guest-firmware.rst files does not specify anything in
particular about the injected secret format. The rules for the format
will vary according to the GUID used for the entry. In this case what
I've called the DISK_PW_GUID is the same as the GUID used in James
Bottomley's grub patch:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2020-12/msg00260.html
In particular note
+ /*
+ * the passphrase must be a zero terminated string because the
+ * password routines call grub_strlen () to find its size
+ */
As written, the code just passes around a pointer to the data in the
secret table, so it can't simply add a NUL terminator itself.
See also James' python demo script for injection which adds a NUL:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-02/msg03691.html
FWIW once that's dropped, getting automatic luks unlock is really
simple
with /etc/crypttab + kernel 5.19
sed -i -e "s| none |
/sys/kernel/security/secrets/coco/736869e5-84f0-4973-92ec-06879ce3da0b
|g" /etc/crypttab
dracut --force --add-drivers efi_secret
shutdown -r now
Now one option here is to invent a different GUID and call it the
"CRYTPTAB_PW_GUID", and have the host side injection tools not use
a NUL terminator for this option.
What I don't like about this is that in both cases we're just passing
in the same data - a passphrase for unlocking a LUKS keyslot.
IMHO, we should have a "LUKS_PASSPHARSE_GUID" secret entry which can
be consumed by any software that wants to unlock LUKS, not have
software specific GUIDs.
The crypttab keyfiles can contain arbitrary bytes, so we can't just
drop the trailing NUL as that might be relevant key material.
Reading cryttab(5) I see that /etc/crypttab supports an option
called 'keyfile-size', which could be used to truncate the file.
That's not at all user friendly for us, as the user pw data can be
arbitrary length and when building the disk image template we
don't know how many bytes are sensitive.IOW, we can't predict
what keyfile-size to use.
So it seems we have a few options
1. modify grub patches to remove the requirement for NUL
termination
2. modify systemd to add a 'keyfile-nul-terminated' option
to instruct it to stip a trailing NUL from key-file.
3. modify systemd to add a 'efi-secret=UUID' option and
ignore key-file field entirely
Incidentally I think we should document well known secret GUIDs
in specs/sev-guest-firmware.rst.
With regards,
Daniel
