New vulnerability: Out-of-bounds read in TF-A X.509 parser

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hello everyone, A new security vulnerability has been identified in TF-A X.509 parser, used for trusted boot in BL1 and BL2. Please note that this vulnerability is *not* exploitable in TF-A upstream code. Only downstream code might be affected under specific circumstances. The security advisory has been published in TF-A documentation and has all the details: https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security_advisories/secu… Patches to fix the identified bugs have already been merged in TF-A tree. The advisory lists the relevant patches. I would like to thank Demi Marie Obenour from Invisible Things Lab for responsibly disclosing this security vulnerability to TrustedFirmware.org, for providing patches to fix the identified bugs and further harden the X.509 parser, for providing a detailed impact analysis and for helping put this security advisory together. Best regards, Sandrine Bailleux, on behalf of TF-A security team.

TF-A Tech Forum Sessions Jan/Feb

by Joanna Farley

Hi all, With the start of the new year I’m looking to see what TF-A Techforums should cover over the next few sessions. As folks may know these are held every two weeks on a Thursday at 4pm GMT. If you need an invite do reach out to me. If folks have anything they would like to present to the TF-A community please do reach out to me as we often need topics. If we don’t have anything to present on upcoming sessions I will cancel the sessions the day before they are due to be held. Currently I tentatively have the following for the first 4 sessions which will be confirmed nearer the dates: * 12th January – No topic * 26th January – LTS Update * 9th February – No topic * 23rd February - Tech talk for PSCI OS-initiated mode Thanks Joanna

Runtime loading of SEL-1

by Jeffrey Kardatzke

Hello, I'm working on a project for ChromeOS where we would like to be able to load the BL32 payload (OpTee) for SEL-1 after the linux kernel has booted rather than during the usual BL32 stage. We would do this via an SMC we would add which would take the OpTee image from linux and then have EL3 load it and perform the init for SEL-1 at that time. The reasoning behind this is that it's much easier to update the rootfs than the FW on our devices, and we can still ensure the integrity of the OpTee image if we load it early enough after the kernel boots. The main questions I have are if there are any issues people would be aware of by loading it after linux boots rather than during the usual BL32 stage? And I would definitely want to upstream this work if it's something we can do. Thanks, Jeffrey Kardatzke Google, Inc.

Question about using rme for smmuv3

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I test the SMMUv3 on FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA_11.20_15, and my TF-A is the branch "arm_cca_v0.3". When I boot my FVP, I set the following commands: -C pci.pci_smmuv3.mmu.SMMU_ROOT_IDR0=3 \ -C pci.pci_smmuv3.mmu.SMMU_ROOT_IIDR=0x43B \ -C pci.pci_smmuv3.mmu.root_register_page_offset=0x20000 \ -C cluster0.rme_support_level=2 \ -C cluster1.rme_support_level=2 \ Based on the FVP manual, the SMMU base is 0x2b40_0000, and I think the SMMU Root Control Page should be 0x2b42_0000. Thus, I add the mapping to this region in plat_arm_mmap[], as: MAP_REGION_FLAT(0x2b420000,(0x2b430000-0x2b420000),MT_MEMORY | MT_RW |MT_ROOT) Then I try to access the SMMU_ROOT_IDR0 register in TF-A. Based on the manual, its offset is 0x0, so I read 0x2b42_0000. However, it returns 0x0, which is not what I configured in the boot commands (I think it should be 0x3). Can someone tell me the reason for this? Sincerely, WANG Chenxu

Upcoming "Stricter ASN.1 certificate parsing" patches

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hello everyone, I'd like to draw your attention on the following patch stack (contribution from Demi Marie Obenour, thank you!): https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/owner:demiobenour%2540gmail.com+is:open These patches refactor the X.509 certificate parser leveraged by the trusted boot implementation in TF-A, such that the parser more closely follows the X.509 format specification [1] and ASN.1/DER encoding rules [2]. In a nutshell, this means that the X.509 parser is now stricter. Some ill-formatted certificates which TF-A would have previously accepted are now rejected. All trusted boot tests in the TF-A OpenCI have passed with these patches but I realize that this does not cover all platforms and use cases. Thus, I'd like to allow time for all platform maintainers that wish it to conduct their own testing and report any issue they're seeing on the mailing list. If we don't hear anything by end of Wednesday (14/12), we'll merge the patches. Best regards, Sandrine [1] See RFC5280, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5280 [2] ITU-T X.690, https://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com10/languages/X.690_1297.pdf

[PATCH 1/1] plat/qemu: Improve aarch32 build support

by Rebecca Cran

While aarch32 isn't currently supported on qemu, platform.mk for both qemu and qemu_sbsa contain bugs that cause the build to fail earlier than it otherwise should. Correct usage of ${ARCH} and hardcoded aarch64 strings so that the correct files are built when ARCH=aarch32 is specified.
