Add a main boot menu entry to power off. This enables users to
only verify the firmware integrity using OTP, and do nothing more.
After having left the device out of sight, one might want to do
a quick sanity check only.
Since we already have a script to safely power down, we make use of
it now.
Instead of relying on a hard-coded USB disk, it would be better if the
mount script attempted to dynamically detect available USB disks. This
modification to the USB mount script attempts to handle the common case
of a single USB disk but can also handle the case of multiple disks
where it will present the user with all available USB disks
This mimics tlauion's OEM work in the sense that a user (or OEM) could
choose this option and it will reset an OpenPGP smart card and
automatically generate a random key on it. The idea is to allow an OEM
to set up a Librem Key and Heads on a machine before shipping with a
random key, so the user can test for tampering when they receive the
machine, and then the user can choose to reset all of the keys with
their chosen keys after that fact.
Currently Heads relies on a hard-coded config value to determine which
USB disk to mount. This can be problematic when trying to distribute a
pre-built version of Heads that can work on multiple disk
configurations. I've modified the USB mounting script so that it
attempts to detect all USB boot disks present on the system, pick sane
defaults, and prompt the user when there are multiple choices.
I've also removed the USB configuration option from config-gui.sh as
this config option is no longer used.
This change updates the very basic GPG smartcard feature in the GPG GUI
so that it can properly support generating a key from within Heads. It
offers the user the option to copy the generated GPG public key to a USB
thumb drive so it's not lost as well as the option to reflash the
current Heads BIOS with this new public key added to the keyring.
I've moved the common functions required to flash a new ROM with GPG
changes into a shared function at the top of the script.
It makes more logical sense for GPG functions to be split out into their
own menu instead of being part of the "Flash" menu. This creates a
gpg-gui.sh script and moves GPG options there while adding a few
additional features (like listing keys and initial smartcard key
generation support).
key-init makes sure trustdb is updated at run time and user and distro keys are ultimately trusted. Each time a file is signed, the related public key is showed without error on it's trustability.
flash-gui deals with gpg1 to gpg2 migration. If pubring.kbx is found, pubring.gpg is deleted from running rom dump.
.ash_history: add examples to generate keys and otrust in rom
flash-gui: export otrust and import it in rom
key-init: import otrust.txt if present to supress warning about user public key being untrusted
We need to handle the case where the specific config file doesn't exist,
or else grep fails, so we touch the file ahead of time. Mounting the usb
storage caused problems when you re-enter the menu a second time, so we
will just load the storage module.
As part of the config gui we want to be able to have the system define
new config options without them being lost if the user makes their own
changes in CBFS. To allow that this change creates a function initiated
in init that combines all /etc/config* files into /tmp/config. All
existing scripts have been changed to source /tmp/config instead of
/etc/config. The config-gui.sh script now uses /etc/config.user to hold
user configuration options but the combine_configs function will allow
that to expand as others want to split configuration out further.
As it stands here are the current config files:
/etc/config -- Compiled-in configuration options
/etc/config.user -- User preferences that override /etc/config
/tmp/config -- Running config referenced by the BIOS, combination
of existing configs
This change will add a new GUI script that will allow users to change
their running configuration (currently just /boot and USB boot options)
and optionally persist that modified configuration with reflashing the
BIOS with a modified cbfs.
The Librem coreboot is labeled with the current version and is visible
from dmidecode and is supposed to reflect the current version of
coreboot, however it was out of date and reflected 4.7 when Heads has
moved on to 4.8.1.
I've also added a simple change to further simplify onboarding by
warning users who have Librem Key configured when they boot without it
being inserted.
We want to catch the missing GPG keyring error regardless of TPM failure
or even in the case of a system without a TPM at all so we need to move
that section up above the TPM check.
To help with onboarding new users to Heads, this change will detect when
Heads does not have any keys in its keyring and will guide the user
through adding a key to the running BIOS. It's important that this
happen *before* guiding them through setting up an initial TOTP/HOTP
secret because adding a GPG key changes the BIOS, so the user would have
to generate TOTP/HOTP secrets 2x unless we handle the keyring case
first.
In addition to this change I've simplified the main menu so that the
majority of the options appear under an 'advanced' menu.
When the Librem Key is enabled, the kernel loads USB modules at boot,
this causes PCR5 to change and breaks unsealing the LUKS key (if set).
This change retains the protection of the PCR5 check unless Librem Key
is enabled.
Granted the user should really be using the Librem Key/phone to check
for tampering (since an attacker could control the Heads background
color) but this provides another visual queue for the user with
the GUI menu to catch less sophisticated tampering.
The HOTP counter isn't a secret but is just used to prevent replay
attacks (the time-based counter in TOTP isn't a secret either) so it
doesn't need to be protected in the TPM and storing it as a TPM
monotonic counter was causing conflicts with the Heads configuration
counter as TPM 1.2 can only increment one counter per reboot.
This change moves the HOTP counter into the file in /boot that was
previously keeping track of the TPM counter id.
TPM v1.2 has a limitation in that only a single monotonic counter can be
incremented between reboots [1]. So in the event we are using HOTP
monotonic counters, we need to reference those for the Heads rollback
counter when we update file signatures in /boot, otherwise the increment
stage at kexec-sign-config will fail since at each boot, the HOTP
monotonic counter has already been incremented.

The Librem Key is a custom device USB-based security token Nitrokey is
producing for Purism and among other things it has custom firmware
created for use with Heads. In particular, when a board is configured
with CONFIG_LIBREMKEY, this custom firmware allows Heads to use the
sealed TOTP secret to also send an HOTP authentication to the Librem
Key. If the HOTP code is successful, the Librem Key will blink a green
LED, if unsuccessful it will blink red, thereby informing the user that
Heads has been tampered with without requiring them to use a phone to
validate the TOTP secret.
Heads will still use and show the TOTP secret, in case the user wants to
validate both codes (in case the Librem Key was lost or is no longer
trusted). It will also show the result of the HOTP verification (but not
the code itself), even though the user should trust only what the Librem
Key displays, so the user can confirm that both the device and Heads are
in sync. If HOTP is enabled, Heads will maintain a new TPM counter
separate from the Heads TPM counter that will increment each time HOTP
codes are checked.
This change also modifies the routines that update TOTP so that if
the Librem Key executables are present it will also update HOTP codes
and synchronize them with a Librem Key.
In addition to being able to flash a ROM from the GUI, it would also be
useful for a user to be able to add a GPG key to their keyring using the
flashing tool. This change adds the ability for a user to edit both a
ROM located on a USB key and also edit the running BIOS by using
flashrom to make a local copy of the running BIOS, edit it, then reflash
it. This also supports the upcoming delete feature in CBFS for
circumstances where keyring files already exist within CBFS.
If we want to modify a running BIOS we will need the ability to pull
down the current BIOS, modify it, and then reflash. This change adds a
read option to flash.sh and pulls down three versions of the BIOS and
only exists successfully if all three match.
To keep the flash logic simpler the GUI logic has been split into a
flash-gui.sh program so flash.sh behaves closer to the original flashrom
scripts it was based from. I've also removed the previous flashrom
scripts and incorporated their options into flash.sh. Finally I set
CONFIG_BOARD via the Makefile instead of setting a duplicate option in
each board's config.
Based on the conversation for PR #406, we decided to go with a more
generic script for general-purpose flashing instead of having individual
(and therefore very similar) flash scripts for each board type. This
script currently handles flashrom on Librem and X230 board types and
introduces a new CONFIG_BOARD option that sets specific flashrom
arguments based on the board.
It also adds support to gui-init to call this flash script.
Wrapping text to 80 characters works but due to font size and padding
the maximum 80 character lines start to get truncated. Extending the
window to 90 characters will resolve this.
While the whiptail program wraps text appropriately based on column
size, the fbwhiptail program doesn't, leading to text that scrolls off
the window where it can no longer be read. This change wraps the longer
text output so it all fits.
Since fbwhiptail allows us to customize the background colors, we should
colorize warnings and error messages to provide a user with an
additional subtle cue that there might be a problem. I have added two
additional configuration options:
CONFIG_WARNING_BG_COLOR
CONFIG_ERROR_BG_COLOR
and in the librem13v2.config file you can see an example for how to set
them to be yellow and red gradients, respectively. I've also updated the
main two scripts that use whiptail to include those background colors.
If you decide to use regular whiptail, just don't set these config
options and it should behave as expected.
When a user gets confirmation of their boot menu choice, that's largely
to give them the option of making their boot choice the default. In the
case of "force mode" there's no reason for the user to be presented with
that dialog so this change skips right ahead to the boot once they have
In the event a user does pick the insecure "force" boot option that
bypasses checksum and signing checks in Heads, it would be nice to
provide a clear visual warning during the boot process that they are in
this state. This change will add a kernel argument that changes the boot
console background to be red and removes any boot splash that might
obscure it, in the event the user picks the insecure boot mode.
Since a user should only boot into this mode during emergencies, having
it be apparent that it's an unsafe mode helps ensure the user doesn't
pick this boot option needlessly.
Currently when the boot entries change, kexec-select-boot dies. Given
the normal loop is set up to catch this event and display a regular boot
menu at the next iteration of the loop, instead of dying it would be
better to just warn and then return from that function back into the
main loop. In addition to that I added a GUI menu for the same warning
when in GUI mode.
Part of the Heads workflow involves handling legitimate changes to /boot
as part of the package manager. This is a challenging workflow to handle
as package managers on many systems work in a completely unattended way
(and some even reboot first, apply updates, and then reboot again).
We need to be able to detect changes that are potentially caused by a
package manager so to do that I've set up a trigger within the OS
(currently just for Debian) that runs both before and after package
updates. It verifies the signatures in /boot and if they fail before
package updates it creates a log file in
/boot/kexec_package_trigger_pre.txt. If they fail after package updates
run /boot/kexec_package_trigger_post.txt is created. These files contain
the following fields:
CHANGED_FILES: A list of files in /boot that failed the sha256sum check
UPDATE_INITRAMFS_PACKAGE: An (optional) list of packages known to
trigger initramfs changes
Following those fields is a list of log output from the last package
manager run which contains its own formatted fields (I'm pulling from
/var/lib/dpkg/info).
When a user selects a boot option, gui-init first verifies the
checksums just to catch errors before calling kexec-select-boot. If
there are any errors it looks for these package logs and if they exist,
it displays appropriate warnings. If the files are absent it displays a
more generic warning. The user is also given an opportunity to re-sign
the /boot hashes.
There was a bug in the "force" boot mode where it would still fail if
signatures didn't match. This was because the check_config function
validates the signatures for kexec files. I've added a few conditionals
here so that in the case of a forced boot mode, we can bypass those
signature checks that would prevent boot and error out to a recovery
console.
The number of options we want in the menu is starting to get large
enough that it's worth slimming things down in the main menu and move
options to nested menus. Along with this nested menu change is the
option to re-sign and re-hash files in /boot directly from the menu.
One of the other core functions a user needs when bootstrapping is
taking over the TPM. I've added a new option in the menu for this and it
revealed that some of the menus needed more space so I've widened all
the menus and also made the main menu longer so the options don't
scroll.
The point of this change is to provide a failsafe (failunsafe?) mode for
less technically-savvy users who will ultimately be using Heads by
default on Librem laptops.
There are some scenarios where an end user might forget to update hashes
in /boot after an initrd change or might have some other hash mismatch.
Currently that user would then be stuck in a recovery console in Heads
not knowing what to do within that limited shell environment to fix the
situation.
This change adds a 'force' mode to kexec-select-boot that goes straight
into a boot menu and bypasses the hash checks so the user could more
easily get back into their system to attempt to repair it. It adds
appropriate warnings about why this is a risky option and moves it down
toward the bottom of the menu. The goal would be to just have this be an
emergency option our support could guide a user to if they ended up in
this situation.

if "CONFIG_TPM=y" is not present in the config file, functionalities

This will make Heads a more general-usage bootloader payload atop coreboot.
In particular I added a GUI menu to instruct the user if there is no

better handling of the case the user selects 'default boot' when there
is no default boot set yet. Apart from that where there were text-only
menus left in gui-init I've replaced them with GUI menus.
When selecting the boot menu option (m) in the gui-init you call out to
kexec-select-boot. To better maintain the graphical menu experience,
I've added a -g option to kexec-select-boot that, when set, will use a
graphical whiptail menu for the most common menu selection modes.
This is a modified version of the generic-init script that uses whiptail
to generate a graphical menu. I changed two of the options so that the
user can refresh the menu to get an updated TOTP code if needed.
