Re: [PATCH v6 4/5] bpf: Add bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() helper

On 6/28/22 2:27 PM, Roberto Sassu wrote:

Add the bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() helper, to give eBPF security modules the ability to check the validity of a signature against supplied data, by using user-provided or system-provided keys as trust anchor.

The new helper makes it possible to enforce mandatory policies, as eBPF programs might be allowed to make security decisions only based on data sources the system administrator approves.

The caller should provide both the data to be verified and the signature as eBPF dynamic pointers (to minimize the number of parameters).

The caller should also provide a trusted keyring serial, together with key lookup-specific flags, to determine which keys can be used for signature verification. Alternatively, the caller could specify zero as serial value (not valid, serials must be positive), and provide instead a special keyring ID.

Key lookup flags are defined in include/linux/key.h and can be: 1, to request that special keyrings be created if referred to directly; 2 to permit partially constructed keys to be found.

Special IDs are defined in include/linux/verification.h and can be: 0 for the primary keyring (immutable keyring of system keys); 1 for both the primary and secondary keyring (where keys can be added only if they are vouched for by existing keys in those keyrings); 2 for the platform keyring (primarily used by the integrity subsystem to verify a kexec'ed kerned image and, possibly, the initramfs signature).

nit: Given this a new feature not a fix to existing code, there is no need to add the above reported-by from kbuild bot.

iiuc, the KEY_LOOKUP_* is a mask, so you could also combine the two, e.g. KEY_LOOKUP_CREATE | KEY_LOOKUP_PARTIAL. I haven't seen you mentioning anything specific on why it is not allowed. What's the rationale, if it's intentional if should probably be documented?

At minimum I also think the helper description needs to be improved for people to understand enough w/o reading through the kernel source, e.g. wrt lookup_flags since I haven't seen it in your selftests either ... when does a user need to use the given flags.

nit: when both trusted_keyring_serial and trusted_keyring_id are passed to the helper, then this should be rejected as invalid argument? (Kind of feels a bit like we're cramming two things in one helper.. KP, thoughts? :))
