Unable to unlock root partition with tpm2 key

[Prototik]

booster 0.11, both with and without universal:true.
Dmesg and luksdump

Main part of the log is

[    4.730062] booster: no tpm devices found after 3 seconds.
[    5.048481] booster: recovering systemd-tpm2 token #0 failed: clevis.go/tpm2: unable to load data: parameter 1, error code 0x1f : integrity check failed

Not sure why booster doesn't see tpm2, dracut works just fine with this setup.

Thanks for reporting it.

Is it a regression from 0.10 booster version?

Also how did you enroll your your systemd-tpm2 partition? What parameters did you use? And what version of systemd do you have?

[Prototik]

systemd 254~rc3-1-arch

systemd-cryptenroll --tpm2-device=auto --tpm2-pcrs=7+12 --wipe-slot=tpm2 /dev/nvme0n1p2

Not sure about regression from 0.10, I just give a try for booster. But I can try to downgrade and report result later if you wish.

The same issue with booster 0.10

My assumption as tpm modules are built-in into the kernel in archlinux packages, booster doesn't stand a chance to capture associated udev event as tpm devices initialized even before booster enters it's main method. So we should check presence of /dev/tpmrm0 and don't use waiters if tpm already here.

Something like that:

It fixes no tpm devices found, but I still have no luck of unlocking partition...

[Prototik]

I believe I found the cause: systemd/systemd@d9b5841

Since systemd 252 systemd-cryptenroll generates tpm2 pins with tpm2-hash-pcrs (instead of tpm2-pcrs as it used to be) to make verification against signed PCRs instead of literal PCRs. And seems booster don't handle it yet, so unable to open luks volume with tpm2 token

[anatol]

@Prototik thank you for discovering the root of the problem. The booster code needs to be adjusted accordingly then

booster/init/luks.go

Line 239 in 30d1a2e

func recoverSystemdTPM2Password(t luks.Token) ([]byte, error) {

I think it is better to check the file existence at

booster/init/tpm.go

Line 54 in 30d1a2e

timedOut := waitTimeout(&tpmReadyWg, time.Second*3)

and if the tpm file does not exist then wait for its udev event.

Is this issue being worked on by someone? dracut handles the new systemd-cryptenroll setup just fine, FYI.

I don't know about anatol but I only skimmed through the relevant code because I was also interested in getting tpm2 unlocking to work. But this doesn't appear to be a simple fix

For tpm2 unlocking, rather than systemd, users can use the Clevis functionality in Booster. I believe this should be fine as it doesn't use the same code path as systemd-tpm2. Or you can just use mkinitcpio or dracut. For mkinitcpio, just be sure to configure it with the relevant hooks.

[Arbel-arad]

has this been solved yet?
i can't get either TPM2 or FIDO2 decryption to work on boot, but they both work with cryptsetup open.
this is a massive issue.
if it's not going to work any time soon please update the arch wiki page to reflect that.

[anatol]

I see that systemd-cryptsenroll tool adds a new field named tpm2_srk to the the LUKS metadata. This field is used as a reference to the storage key. The functionality was added in systemd/systemd@acbb504eaf1

Here is the systemd code to reconstruct SRK handle from the data:

                r = tpm2_handle_new(c, &primary);
                if (r < 0)
                        return r;

                primary->keep = true;

                log_debug("Found existing SRK key to use, deserializing ESYS_TR");
                rc = sym_Esys_TR_Deserialize(
                                c->esys_context,
                                srk_buf,
                                srk_buf_size,
                                &primary->esys_handle);
                if (rc != TSS2_RC_SUCCESS)
                        return log_error_errno(SYNTHETIC_ERRNO(ENOTRECOVERABLE),
                                               "Failed to deserialize primary key: %s", sym_Tss2_RC_Decode(rc));

And booster needs to do it using go-tpm library. Though it is not fully clear what is the correct go-tpm API for that. tpm2.* does not have any deserialize functions.

cc @chrisfenner @Foxboron who recently worked with go-tpm if they know the answer to this question.

[chrisfenner]

You could try Unmarshal[whatever type you're trying to unmarshal]: https://github.com/google/go-tpm/blob/ee6cbcd136f878df2c2f36b4a085d2115330f379/tpm2/marshalling.go#L55

[anatol]

Booster still uses the legacy go-tpm API https://github.com/anatol/booster/blob/master/init/tpm.go

@chrisfenner Is there a way to perform sym_Esys_TR_Deserialize the that legacy API instead?

[chrisfenner]

The bad news is that in the legacy API, per-type unmarshalling support is more spotty. It might be there somewhere depending on what you want to unmarshal.

The good news is you don't have to switch all your code to the new API :) you could update the version of go-tpm to 0.9.0 and import github.com/google/go-tpm/legacy/tpm2 everywhere you were importing tpm2 before. Then, in the code that wants to call the new API, you can use github.com/google/go-tpm/tpm2.

[anatol]

Thank you @chrisfenner I will try to mix the APIs

So I looked at the tpm-tss code and sym_Esys_TR_Deserialize essentially calls this function:

TSS2_RC
iesys_MU_IESYS_RESOURCE_Unmarshal(
    const uint8_t *buffer,
    size_t size,
    size_t *offset,
    IESYS_RESOURCE *dst)
{
    LOG_TRACE("called: buffer=%p size=%zu offset=%p dst=%p",
        buffer, size, offset, dst);
    if (buffer == NULL) {
        LOG_ERROR("buffer=NULL");
        return TSS2_ESYS_RC_BAD_REFERENCE;
    }
    TSS2_RC ret;
    size_t offset_loc = (offset != NULL)? *offset : 0;
    if (dst != NULL)
        memset(dst, 0, sizeof(*dst));
    TPM2_HANDLE out_handle;
    ret = Tss2_MU_TPM2_HANDLE_Unmarshal(buffer, size, &offset_loc,
            (dst == NULL)? &out_handle : &dst->handle);
    return_if_error(ret, "Error unmarshaling subfield handle");

    ret = Tss2_MU_TPM2B_NAME_Unmarshal(buffer, size, &offset_loc,
            (dst == NULL)? NULL : &dst->name);
    return_if_error(ret, "Error unmarshaling subfield name");

    IESYSC_RESOURCE_TYPE out_rsrcType;
    ret = iesys_MU_IESYSC_RESOURCE_TYPE_Unmarshal(buffer, size, &offset_loc,
            (dst == NULL)? &out_rsrcType : &dst->rsrcType);
    return_if_error(ret, "Error unmarshaling subfield rsrcType");

    ret = iesys_MU_IESYS_RSRC_UNION_Unmarshal(buffer, size, &offset_loc,
            (dst == NULL)? out_rsrcType : dst->rsrcType,
            (dst == NULL)? NULL : &dst->misc);
    return_if_error(ret, "Error unmarshaling subfield misc");

    if (offset != NULL)
        *offset = offset_loc;
    return TSS2_RC_SUCCESS;
}

What go-tpm type would correspond to IESYS_RESOURCE from tpm-tss codebase?

[chrisfenner]

Hmm, IESYS_RESOURCE sounds like a TSS type, not a TPM type. You might not get much help from go-tpm for that structure, since it's not a real TPM structure.

[Foxboron]

talos implements all of this using their own libraries.

@anatol same issue here. any ideas how to workaround it? thanks.
