8 bool "Enable CBFS verification"
11 Say yes here to enable code that cryptographically verifies each CBFS
12 file as it gets loaded by chaining it to a trust anchor that is
13 embedded in the bootblock. This only makes sense if you use some
14 out-of-band mechanism to guarantee the integrity of the bootblock
15 itself, such as Intel Boot Guard or flash write-protection.
17 If a CBFS image was created with this option enabled, cbfstool will
18 automatically update the hash embedded in the bootblock whenever it
24 bool "Protect against time-of-check vs. time-of-use vulnerabilities"
25 depends on !NO_FMAP_CACHE
26 depends on !NO_CBFS_MCACHE
27 depends on !USE_OPTION_TABLE && !FSP_CAR # Known to access CBFS before CBMEM init
28 depends on !VBOOT || VBOOT_CBFS_INTEGRATION
29 depends on NO_XIP_EARLY_STAGES
31 Say yes here to eliminate time-of-check vs. time-of-use vulnerabilities
32 for CBFS verification. This means that data from flash must be verified
33 every time it is loaded (not just the first time), which requires a bit
34 more overhead and is incompatible with certain configurations.
36 Using this option only makes sense when the mechanism securing the
37 bootblock is also safe against these vulnerabilities (i.e. there's no
38 point in enabling this when you just rely on flash write-protection).
40 config CBFS_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED_DECOMPRESSION
41 bool "Run decompression algorithms on potentially untrusted code"
44 This controls whether cbfs_unverified_area_...() access functions may
45 decompress files. This exposes the attack surface of all supported
46 decompression algorithms. Even if you don't compress the files you are
47 planning to load with these functions, since file metadata is also
48 unverified, an attacker can potentially replace them with compressed
49 files to access a vulnerability in the decompression code.
51 If you don't need to load compressed files from unverified areas, say
52 no here for tighter security.

61 prompt "Hash algorithm"
62 default CBFS_HASH_SHA256
64 Select the hash algorithm used in CBFS verification. Note that SHA-1 is
65 generally considered insecure today and should not be used without good
66 reason. When using CBFS verification together with measured boot, using
67 the same hash algorithm (usually SHA-256) for both is more efficient.
