Mon Nov 9 06:45:11 UTC 2020


From: Bret Barkelew <brbarkel at microsoft.com>

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2522

VariablePolicy is an updated interface to
replace VarLock and VarCheckProtocol.

Add the VariablePolicyLib library that implements
the portable business logic for the VariablePolicy
engine.

Also add host-based CI test cases for the lib.

+# UEFI Variable Policy
+
+## Summary
+
+UEFI Variable Policy spec aims to describe the DXE protocol interface
+which allows enforcing certain rules on certain UEFI variables. The
+protocol allows communication with the Variable Policy Engine which
+performs the policy enforcement.
+
+The Variable Policy is comprised of a set of policy entries which
+describe, per UEFI variable (identified by namespace GUID and variable
+name) the following rules:
+
+-   Required variable attributes
+-   Prohibited variable attributes
+-   Minimum variable size
+-   Maximum variable size
+-   Locking:
+    -   Locking "immediately"
+    -   Locking on creation
+    -   Locking based on a state of another variable
+
+The spec assumes that the Variable Policy Engine runs in a trusted
+enclave, potentially off the main CPU that runs UEFI. For that reason,
+it is assumed that the Variable Policy Engine has no concept of UEFI
+events, and that the communication from the DXE driver to the trusted
+enclave is proprietary.
+
+At power-on, the Variable Policy Engine is:
+
+-   Enabled -- present policy entries are evaluated on variable access
+    calls.
+-   Unlocked -- new policy entries can be registered.
+
+Policy is expected to be clear on power-on. Policy is volatile and not
+preserved across system reset.
+
+## DXE Protocol
+
+```h
+typedef struct {
+  UINT64                        Revision;

+} _VARIABLE_POLICY_PROTOCOL;
+
+typedef _VARIABLE_POLICY_PROTOCOL VARIABLE_POLICY_PROTOCOL;
+
+extern EFI_GUID gVariablePolicyProtocolGuid;
+```
+
+```text
+## Include/Protocol/VariablePolicy.h
+  gVariablePolicyProtocolGuid = { 0x81D1675C, 0x86F6, 0x48DF, { 0xBD, 0x95, 0x9A, 0x6E, 0x4F, 0x09, 0x25, 0xC3 } }
+```
+
+### DisableVariablePolicy
+
+Function prototype:
+
+```c
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+DisableVariablePolicy (
+  VOID
+  );
+```
+
+`DisableVariablePolicy` call disables the Variable Policy Engine, so
+that the present policy entries are no longer taken into account on
+variable access calls. This call effectively turns off the variable
+policy verification for this boot. This also disables UEFI
+Authenticated Variable protections including Secure Boot.
+`DisableVariablePolicy` can only be called once during boot. If called
+more than once, it will return `EFI_ALREADY_STARTED`. Note, this process
+is irreversible until the next system reset -- there is no
+"EnablePolicy" protocol function.
+
+_IMPORTANT NOTE:_ It is strongly recommended that VariablePolicy *NEVER*
+be disabled in "normal, production boot conditions". It is expected to always
+be enforced. The most likely reasons to disable are for Manufacturing and
+Refurbishing scenarios. If in doubt, leave the `gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdAllowVariablePolicyEnforcementDisable`
+PCD set to `FALSE` and VariablePolicy will always be enabled.
+
+### IsVariablePolicyEnabled
+
+Function prototype:
+
+```c
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+IsVariablePolicyEnabled (
+  OUT BOOLEAN   *State
+  );
+```
+
+`IsVariablePolicyEnabled` accepts a pointer to a Boolean in which it
+will store `TRUE` if Variable Policy Engine is enabled, or `FALSE` if
+Variable Policy Engine is disabled. The function returns `EFI_SUCCESS`.
+
+### RegisterVariablePolicy
+
+Function prototype:
+
+```c
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+RegisterVariablePolicy (
+  IN CONST VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY  *PolicyEntry
+  );
+```
+
+`RegisterVariablePolicy` call accepts a pointer to a policy entry
+structure and returns the status of policy registration. If the
+Variable Policy Engine is not locked and the policy structures are
+valid, the function will return `EFI_SUCCESS`. If the Variable Policy
+Engine is locked, `RegisterVariablePolicy` call will return
+`EFI_WRITE_PROTECTED` and will not register the policy entry. Bulk
+registration is not supported at this time due to the requirements
+around error handling on each policy registration.
+
+Upon successful registration of a policy entry, Variable Policy Engine
+will then evaluate this entry on subsequent variable access calls (as
+long as Variable Policy Engine hasn't been disabled).
+
+### DumpVariablePolicy
+
+Function prototype:
+
+```c
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+DumpVariablePolicy (
+  OUT     UINT8     *Policy,
+  IN OUT  UINT32    *Size
+  );
+```
+
+`DumpVariablePolicy` call accepts a pointer to a buffer and a pointer to
+the size of the buffer as parameters and returns the status of placing
+the policy into the buffer. On first call to `DumpVariablePolicy` one
+should pass `NULL` as the buffer and a pointer to 0 as the `Size` variable
+and `DumpVariablePolicy` will return `EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` and will
+populate the `Size` parameter with the size of the needed buffer to
+store the policy. This way, the caller can allocate the buffer of
+correct size and call `DumpVariablePolicy` again. The function will
+populate the buffer with policy and return `EFI_SUCCESS`.
+
+### LockVariablePolicy
+
+Function prototype:
+
+```c
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+LockVariablePolicy (
+  VOID
+  );
+```
+
+`LockVariablePolicy` locks the Variable Policy Engine, i.e. prevents any
+new policy entries from getting registered in this boot
+(`RegisterVariablePolicy` calls will fail with `EFI_WRITE_PROTECTED`
+status code returned).
+
+## Policy Structure
+
+The structure below is meant for the DXE protocol calling interface,
+when communicating to the Variable Policy Engine, thus the pragma pack
+directive. How these policies are stored in memory is up to the
+implementation.
+
+```c
+#pragma pack(1)
+typedef struct {
+  UINT32    Version;
+  UINT16    Size;
+  UINT16    OffsetToName;
+  EFI_GUID  Namespace;
+  UINT32    MinSize;
+  UINT32    MaxSize;
+  UINT32    AttributesMustHave;
+  UINT32    AttributesCantHave;
+  UINT8     LockPolicyType;
+  UINT8     Reserved[3];
+  // UINT8  LockPolicy[]; // Variable Length Field
+  // CHAR16 Name[];       // Variable Length Field
+} VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY;
+```
+
+The struct `VARIABLE_POLICY_ENTRY` above describes the layout for a policy
+entry. The first element, `Size`, is the size of the policy entry, then
+followed by `OffsetToName` -- the number of bytes from the beginning of
+the struct to the name of the UEFI variable targeted by the policy
+entry. The name can contain wildcards to match more than one variable,
+more on this in the Wildcards section. The rest of the struct elements
+are self-explanatory.
+
+```cpp
+#define VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_NO_LOCK            0
+#define VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_NOW           1
+#define VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_CREATE     2
+#define VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE  3
+```
+
+`LockPolicyType` can have the following values:
+
+-   `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_NO_LOCK` -- means that no variable locking is performed. However,
+    the attribute and size constraints are still enforced. LockPolicy
+    field is size 0.
+-   `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_NOW` -- means that the variable starts being locked
+    immediately after policy entry registration. If the variable doesn't
+    exist at this point, being LockedNow means it cannot be created on
+    this boot. LockPolicy field is size 0.
+-   `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_CREATE` -- means that the variable starts being locked
+    after it is created. This allows for variable creation and
+    protection after LockVariablePolicy() function has been called. The
+    LockPolicy field is size 0.
+-   `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE` -- means that the Variable Policy Engine will
+    examine the state/contents of another variable to determine if the
+    variable referenced in the policy entry is locked.
+
+```c
+typedef struct {
+  EFI_GUID  Namespace;
+  UINT8     Value;
+  UINT8     Reserved;
+  // CHAR16 Name[];   // Variable Length Field
+} VARIABLE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE_POLICY;
+```
+
+If `LockPolicyType` is `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE`, then the final element in the
+policy entry struct is of type `VARIABLE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE_POLICY`, which
+lists the namespace GUID, name (no wildcards here), and value of the
+variable which state determines the locking of the variable referenced
+in the policy entry. The "locking" variable must be 1 byte in terms of
+payload size. If the Referenced variable contents match the Value of the
+`VARIABLE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE_POLICY` structure, the lock will be considered
+active and the target variable will be locked. If the Reference variable
+does not exist (ie. returns `EFI_NOT_FOUND`), this policy will be
+considered inactive.
+
+## Variable Name Wildcards
+
+Two types of wildcards can be used in the UEFI variable name field in a
+policy entry:
+
+1.  If the Name is a zero-length array (easily checked by comparing
+    fields `Size` and `OffsetToName` -- if they're the same, then the
+    `Name` is zero-length), then all variables in the namespace specified
+    by the provided GUID are targeted by the policy entry.
+2.  Character "#" in the `Name` corresponds to one numeric character
+    (0-9, A-F, a-f). For example, string "Boot####" in the `Name`
+    field of the policy entry will make it so that the policy entry will
+    target variables named "Boot0001", "Boot0002", etc.
+
+Given the above two types of wildcards, one variable can be targeted by
+more than one policy entry, thus there is a need to establish the
+precedence rule: a more specific match is applied. When a variable
+access operation is performed, Variable Policy Engine should first check
+the variable being accessed against the policy entries without
+wildcards, then with 1 wildcard, then with 2 wildcards, etc., followed
+in the end by policy entries that match the whole namespace. One can
+still imagine a situation where two policy entries with the same number
+of wildcards match the same variable -- for example, policy entries with
+Names "Boot00##" and "Boot##01" will both match variable "Boot0001".
+Such situation can (and should) be avoided by designing mutually
+exclusive Name strings with wildcards, however, if it occurs, then the
+policy entry that was registered first will be used. After the most
+specific match is selected, all other policies are ignored.
+
+## Available Testing
+
+This functionality is current supported by two kinds of tests: there is a host-based
+unit test for the core business logic (this test accompanies the `VariablePolicyLib`
+implementation that lives in `MdeModulePkg/Library`) and there is a functional test
+for the protocol and its interfaces (this test lives in the `MdeModulePkg/Test/ShellTest`
+directory).
+
+### Host-Based Unit Test
+
+There is a test that can be run as part of the Host-Based Unit Testing
+infrastructure provided by EDK2 PyTools (documented elsewhere). It will test
+all internal guarantees and is where you will find test cases for most of the
+policy matching and security of the Variable Policy Engine.
+
+### Shell-Based Functional Test
+
+This test -- [Variable Policy Functional Unit Test](https://github.com/microsoft/mu_plus/tree/release/202005/UefiTestingPkg/FunctionalSystemTests/VarPolicyUnitTestApp) -- can be built as a
+UEFI Shell application and run to validate that the Variable Policy Engine
+is correctly installed and enforcing policies on the target system.
+
+NOTE: This test _must_ be run prior to calling `DisableVariablePolicy` for all
+test cases to pass. For this reason, it is recommended to run this on a test-built
+FW for complete results, and then again on a production-built FW for release
+results.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+The below examples are hypothetical scenarios based on real-world requirements
+that demonstrate how Variable Policies could be constructed to solve various
+problems.
+
+### UEFI Setup Variables (Example 1)
+
+Variables containing values of the setup options exposed via UEFI
+menu (setup variables). These would be locked based on a state of
+another variable, "ReadyToBoot", which would be set to 1 at the
+ReadyToBoot event. Thus, the policy for the setup variables would be
+of type `LockOnVarState`, with the "ReadyToBoot" listed as the name of
+the variable, appropriate GUID listed as the namespace, and 1 as
+value. Entry into the trusted UEFI menu app doesn't signal
+ReadyToBoot, but booting to any device does, and the setup variables
+are write-protected. The "ReadyToBoot" variable would need to be
+locked-on-create. *(THIS IS ESSENTIALLY LOCK ON EVENT, BUT SINCE THE
+POLICY ENGINE IS NOT IN THE UEFI ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ARE USED)*
+
+For example, "AllowPXEBoot" variable locked by "ReadyToBoot" variable.
+
+(NOTE: In the below example, the emphasized fields ('Namespace', 'Value', and 'Name')
+are members of the `VARIABLE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE_POLICY` structure.)
+
+Size                  | ...
+----                  | ---
+OffsetToName          | ...
+NameSpace             | ...
+MinSize               | ...
+MaxSize               | ...
+AttributesMustHave    | ...
+AttributesCantHave    | ...
+LockPolicyType        | `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE`
+_Namespace_           | ...
+_Value_               | 1
+_Name_                | "ReadyToBoot"
+//Name                | "AllowPXEBoot"
+
+### Manufacturing VPD (Example 2)
+
+Manufacturing Variable Provisioning Data (VPD) is stored in
+variables and is created while in Manufacturing (MFG) Mode. In MFG
+Mode Variable Policy Engine is disabled, thus these VPD variables
+can be created. These variables are locked with lock policy type
+`LockNow`, so that these variables can't be tampered with in Customer
+Mode. To overwrite or clear VPD, the device would need to MFG mode,
+which is standard practice for refurbishing/remanufacturing
+scenarios.
+
+Example: "DisplayPanelCalibration" variable...
+
+Size                  | ...
+----                  | ---
+OffsetToName          | ...
+NameSpace             | ...
+MinSize               | ...
+MaxSize               | ...
+AttributesMustHave    | ...
+AttributesCantHave    | ...
+LockPolicyType        | `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_NOW`
+// Name               | "DisplayPanelCalibration"
+
+### 3rd Party Calibration Data (Example 3)
+
+Bluetooth pre-pairing variables are locked-on-create because these
+get created by an OS application when Variable Policy is in effect.
+
+Example: "KeyboardBTPairing" variable
+
+Size                  | ...
+----                  | ---
+OffsetToName          | ...
+NameSpace             | ...
+MinSize               | ...
+MaxSize               | ...
+AttributesMustHave    | ...
+AttributesCantHave    | ...
+LockPolicyType        | `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_CREATE`
+// Name               | "KeyboardBTPairing"
+
+### Software-based Variable Policy (Example 4)
+
+Example: "Boot####" variables (a name string with wildcards that
+will match variables "Boot0000" to "BootFFFF") locked by "LockBootOrder"
+variable.
+
+Size                  | ...
+----                  | ---
+OffsetToName          | ...
+NameSpace             | ...
+MinSize               | ...
+MaxSize               | ...
+AttributesMustHave    | ...
+AttributesCantHave    | ...
+LockPolicyType        | `VARIABLE_POLICY_TYPE_LOCK_ON_VAR_STATE`
+_Namespace_           | ...
+_Value_               | 1
+_Name_                | "LockBootOrder"
+//Name                | "Boot####"
