Salah, can you explain the severity of the issue? Thanks!
Comment 2 Christopher Byrne 2020-10-04 23:17:01 UTC
Created attachment 663805 [details]
Affected Policy

Its an information disclosure. If a FAPI policy is created to lock against the "current" value of the PCR, it doesn't actually do so. So the above policy does not actually work as it should. See below:

# assume the TPM is provisioned already (it can be provisioned though the tss2_provision command)

tpm2_pcrreset 16
tss2_import -i pol_pcr16_read.json -p pol_pcr16_read
tss2_createkey -p HS/SRK/myCryptKey -t decrypt,noda -a "" -P pol_pcr16_read
echo "verysecret" | tss2_encrypt -p HS/SRK/myCryptKey -i -  -o secret.out
tpm2_pcrextend 16:sha256=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
# this should fail
tss2_decrypt -p HS/SRK/myCryptKey -i secret.out -o secret.txt

However, due the above CVE, this is not the case, and it succeeds. FAPI policies create with explicit PCR values and non-FAPI policies created tpm2_createpolicy are not affected.

Maintainer, please call for stabilization when ready.
Comment 5 Christopher Byrne 2020-10-12 00:19:01 UTC
Ok to stabilize just 2.4.3. The 3.0.X series has never been stable and isn't ready for stabilization yet (it has an ABI change and opentmpfiles doesn't like it)
