nikstur df6b1b07f7 tool: use random names for secure tempfiles
Using random names for tempfiles makes handling them easier. It reduces
the amount of noise in the code because no custom name needs to be
provided for each tempfile. The names were not really useful in any
case.

It also does not burden the developer with ensuring uniqueness of names.
This is relevant when files for multiple generations need to be stored
in the same directory (e.g. because they need to be accessed after
handling one generation).

Out of an abundance of caution, 32 random alphanumeric characters are
chosen for each filename. The tempfile crate, in comparison, only
chooses 8. 32 characters should be enough to avoid collisions, even
if the PRNG is not of cryptographic quality.

nikstur a8d9ea128d tool: improve sd-boot generation display name
Leverage the bootspec `label` field in its intended way. The VERSION_ID
of the os-release in the stub now only contains the generation number
and the build time. This makes a correct PRETTY_NAME entirely dependent
on correct information in the bootspec `label` field.

nikstur 06f921ead0 tool: read build time from symlink
Read the build time from generation symlinks in /nix/var/nix/profiles
instead of from the underlying derivation. The derivation build time
will always be a UNIX epoch of 0 because of the `nix-build` sandbox,
which is useless for identifying when a generation was created.

Prevent loading of untrusted initrds
2023-02-02 14:08:08 +01:00
Alois Wohlschlager 081714cab9
Pass the built-in cmdline to the kernel
Do not pass our own cmdline on to the kernel. It may have been set by a
malicious boot loader specification entry, and could instruct the
kernel to load an arbitrary unprotected initrd (or perform some other
fun stuff). Instead, always pass the command line built into the UKI,
which is properly authenticated.

Alois Wohlschlager 3885f114a8
Do not sign the kernel
Malicious boot loader specification entries could be used to make a
signed kernel load arbitrary unprotected initrds. Since we do not want
this, do not sign the kernel. This way, the only things allowed to boot
are our UKI stubs, which do verify the initrd.

Load the kernel image ourselves
When loading something with UEFI LoadImage, signature validation is
performed. However, we verify the kernel by its hash already, and don't
want to sign it. Hence, we have to load it on our own.

nikstur ce3b2c27b5 tool: write systemd-boot loader.conf
To minimize the number of arguments passed to `lzbt`, the loader config
is assembled outside `lzbt` and passed as a single argument.

Instead of reimplementing `consoleMode` under the `lanzaboote`
namespace, `config.loader.systemd-boot.consoleMode` is reused as is.

tool: atomically write to ESP
2023-01-29 16:17:07 +01:00
nikstur 5f28ae75ea tool: atomically write to ESP
To minimize the potential for irrecoverable errors, only atomic writes
to the ESP are performed. This is implemented by first copying the file
to the destination with a `.tmp` suffix and then renaming it to the
final desintation. This is atomic because the rename operation is atomic
on POSIX platforms.

Specifically, this means that even if the system crashes during the
operation, the final desintation path will most likely be intact if it
exists at all. There are some nuances to this however. It **cannot** be
actually guaranteed that the operation was performed on the filesystem
level. However, this is the best we can do for now.

For reference:

nikstur cc169689f3 tool: smarter systemd-boot install
The process of installing systemd-boot is "smarter" because it now
considers a a few conditions instead of doing nothing if there is a file
at the deistination path. systemd-boot is now forcibly installed (i.e.
overwriting any file at the destination) if (1) there is no file at the
destination, OR (2) a newer version of systemd-boot is available, OR (3)
the signature of the file at the destination could not be verified.

and EspGenerationPaths which additionally depend on generation specific
