This is achieved +by storing Secure Boot keys in UEFI Variables, as result it can be easily +bypassed by writing directly to the flash varstore. To avoid this situation, +it's necessary to make the varstore with SB keys read-only and/or provide an +isolated execution environment for flash access (such as SMM). + +* In order to support Secure Boot, OVMF must be built with the + "-D SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE" option. + +* By default, OVMF is not shipped with any SecureBoot keys installed. The user + need to install them with "Secure Boot Configuration" utility in the firmware + UI, or enroll the default UEFI keys using the OvmfPkg/EnrollDefaultKeys app. + + For the EnrollDefaultKeys application, the hypervisor is expected to add a + string entry to the "OEM Strings" (Type 11) SMBIOS table. The string should + have the following format: + + 4e32566d-8e9e-4f52-81d3-5bb9715f9727:<Base64 X509 cert for PK and first KEK> + + Such string can be generated with the following script, for example: + + sed \ + -e 's/^-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----$/4e32566d-8e9e-4f52-81d3-5bb9715f9727:/' \ + -e '/^-----END CERTIFICATE-----$/d' \ + PkKek1.pem \ + | tr -d '\n' \ + > PkKek1.oemstr + + - Using QEMU 5.2 or later, the SMBIOS type 11 field can be specified from a + file: + + -smbios type=11,path=PkKek1.oemstr \ + + - Using QEMU 5.1 or earlier, the string has to be passed as a value: + + -smbios type=11,value="$(< PkKek1.oemstr)" + === SMM support === Requirements: -- 2.41.0 -- Joursoir -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
