mok: fix LogError() invocation - #577

This has been triggering a Synchronous Abort on my chromebook (rk3399-gru-kevin) when trying to run Debian's signed shim with U-Boot, thanks for fixing it. From what I can tell, U-Boot now has QueryVariableInfo() available, but can misreport maximum variable size when its variable store buffer is about to run out, due to an underflow in size calculation |

Debian's arm64 UEFI Secure Boot shim makes the EFI variable store run
out of space while mirroring its MOK database to variables. This can be
observed in QEMU like so:
$ tools/buildman/buildman -o build/qemu_arm64 --boards=qemu_arm64 -w
$ cd build/qemu_arm64
$ curl -L -o debian.iso \
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/arm64/iso-cd/debian-12.0.0-arm64-netinst.iso
$ qemu-system-aarch64 \
-nographic -bios u-boot.bin \
-machine virt -cpu cortex-a53 -m 1G -smp 2 \
-drive if=virtio,file=debian.iso,index=0,format=raw,readonly=on,media=cdrom
[...]
=> # interrupt autoboot
=> env set -e -bs -nv -rt -guid 605dab50-e046-4300-abb6-3dd810dd8b23 SHIM_VERBOSE 1

Welcome to GRUB!
This would normally be fine as shim would continue to run grubaa64.efi,
but shim's error handling code for this case has a bug [1] that causes a
synchronous abort on at least chromebook_kevin (but apparently not on
QEMU arm64).
Double the default variable store size so the variables fit. There is a
note about this value matching PcdFlashNvStorageVariableSize when
EFI_MM_COMM_TEE is enabled, so keep the old default in that case.

I suppose we could also check that we weren't called with a null name, but that's arguably a separate issue.

On some ARM platform, jlinton noticed that when we fail to set a variable (because it isn't supported at all, presumably), our error message has an extra argument that doesn't match the format string. This patch removes the extra argument. Resolves: CVE-2023-40546 Signed-off-by: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>

Is this issue actually a security vulnerability, or just a bug? Why was a CVE assigned? |
