* [build] Mark core files as permitted for UEFI Secure BootMichael Brown2026-01-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Mark all files used in a standard build of bin-x86_64-efi/snponly.efi as permitted for UEFI Secure Boot. These files represent the core functionality of iPXE that is guaranteed to have been included in every binary that was previously subject to a security review and signed by Microsoft. It is therefore legitimate to assume that at least these files have already been reviewed to the required standard multiple times. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [efi] Support versions of shim that perform SBAT verificationMichael Brown2023-05-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UEFI shim implements a fairly nicely designed revocation mechanism designed around the concept of security generations. Unfortunately nobody in the shim community has thus far added the relevant metadata to the Linux kernel, with the result that current versions of shim are incapable of booting current versions of the Linux kernel. Experience shows that there is unfortunately no point in trying to get a fix for this upstreamed into shim. We therefore default to working around this undesirable behaviour by patching data read from the "SbatLevel" variable used to hold SBAT configuration. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [efi] Add support for executing images via a shimMichael Brown2023-05-221-0/+16
Add support for using a shim as a helper to execute an EFI image. When a shim has been specified via shim(), the shim image will be passed to LoadImage() instead of the selected EFI image and the command line will be prepended with the name of the selected EFI image. The selected EFI image will be accessible to the shim via the virtual filesystem as a hidden file. Reduce the Secure Boot attack surface by removing, where possible, the spurious requirement for a third party second stage loader binary such as GRUB to be used solely in order to call the "shim lock protocol" entry point. Do not install the EFI PXE APIs when using a shim, since if shim finds EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL on the loaded image's device handle then it will attempt to download files afresh instead of using the files already downloaded by iPXE and exposed via the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM protocol. (Experience shows that there is no point in trying to get a fix for this upstreamed into shim.) Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
