Bug Description

[Impact]

It's possible to turn off kernel lockdown by emulating a USB keyboard via USB/IP and sending an Alt+SysRq+X key combination through it.

Ubuntu's kernels have USB/IP enabled (CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HCD=m and CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m) with signed usbip_core and vhci_hcd modules provided in the linux-extra-modules-* package.

See the PoC here: https://github.com/xairy/unlockdown#method-1-usbip

[Test Case]

$ git clone https://github.com/xairy/unlockdown.git
$ cd unlockdown/01-usbip/
$ sudo ./run.sh
$ dmesg

# Ensure there are no log entries talking about lifting lockdown:
sysrq: SysRq : Disabling Secure Boot restrictions
Lifting lockdown

# You should see a SysRq help log entry because the Alt+SysRq+X
# combination should be disabled
sysrq: SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reboot(b) crash(c) terminate-all-tasks(e) memory-full-oom-kill(f) kill-all-tasks(i) thaw-filesystems(j) sak(k) show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(l) show-memory-usage(m) nice-all-RT-tasks(n) poweroff(o) show-registers(p) show-all-timers(q) unraw(r) sync(s) show-task-states(t) unmount(u) force-fb(V) show-blocked-tasks(w) dump-ftrace-buffer(z)

[Regression Potential]

Some users may see a usability regression due to the Lockdown lift sysrq combination being removed. Some users are known to disable lockdown, using the sysrq combination, in order to perform some "dangerous" operation such as writing to an MSR. It is believed that this is a small number of users but it is impossible to know for sure.

Users that rely on this functionality may need to permanently disable secure boot using 'mokutil --disable-validation'.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1861238

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Thanks for the report! After speaking with the security team, we've come to an agreement that removing the lockdown lift sysrq is the best thing to do. We understand that a small amount of users may rely on that sysrq today to do things like writing to an MSR but they'll still be able to achieve a lockdown free environment by running 'mokutil --disable-validation' and rebooting.
