Richard Hughes e87fc05ab9 Speed up the daemon startup by ~2% by doing dlsym much less 
We were calling g_module_symbol() 2703 times, which is actually more
expensive than you'd think.

It also means the plugins are actually what we tell people they are:
A set of vfuncs that get run. The reality before that they were dlsym'd
functions that get called at pretty random times.

UEFI dbx

Introduction

Updating the UEFI revocation database prevents starting EFI binaries with known security issues, and is typically no longer done from a firmware update due to the risk of the machine being "bricked" if the bootloader is not updated first.

This plugin also checks if the UEFI dbx contains all the most recent revoked checksums. The result will be stored in an security attribute for HSI.

Firmware Format

The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in EFI_SIGNATURE_LIST format.

See https://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%20Spec%202_6.pdf for details.

This plugin supports the following protocol ID:

  • org.uefi.dbx

GUID Generation

These devices use the GUID constructed of the uppercase SHA256 of the X509 certificates found in the system KEK and optionally the EFI architecture. e.g.

  • UEFI\CRT_{sha256}
  • UEFI\CRT_{sha256}&ARCH_{arch}

...where arch is typically one of IA32, X64, ARM or AA64

Update Behavior

The firmware is deployed when the machine is in normal runtime mode, but it is only activated when the system is restarted.

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is hardcoded to UEFI:Microsoft for all devices.

External Interface Access

This plugin requires:

  • read/write access to /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
