| grub.cfg-400.patch | Make grub.cfg world-readable if it contains no passwords | Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | no | 2014-01-13 | ||
| gfxpayload-keep-default.patch | Disable gfxpayload=keep by default Setting gfxpayload=keep has been known to cause efifb to be inappropriately enabled. In any case, with the current Linux kernel the result of this option is that early kernelspace will be unable to print anything to the console, so (for example) if boot fails and you end up dumped to an initramfs prompt, you won't be able to see anything on the screen. As such it shouldn't be enabled by default in Debian, no matter what kernel options are enabled. gfxpayload=keep is a good idea but rather ahead of its time ... |

| mkconfig-loopback.patch | Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images Improve prepare_grub_to_access_device to emit appropriate commands for such filesystems, and ignore them in Linux grub.d scripts. This is needed for Ubuntu's Wubi installation method. This patch isn't inherently Debian/Ubuntu-specific. losetup and /proc/mounts are Linux-specific, though, so we might need to refine this before sending it upstream. The changes to the Linux grub.d scripts might be better handled by integrating 10_lupin properly instead. |
Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | no | 2014-01-13 | ||
| restore-mkdevicemap.patch | Restore grub-mkdevicemap This is kind of a mess, requiring lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices. However, we use it in a number of scripts to discover devices and reimplementing those in terms of something else would be very complicated. |

| install-efi-fallback.patch | Fall back to non-EFI if booted using EFI but -efi is missing It may be possible, particularly in recovery situations, to be booted using EFI on x86 when only the i386-pc target is installed, or on ARM when only the arm-uboot target is installed. There's nothing actually stopping us installing i386-pc or arm-uboot from an EFI environment, and it's better than returning a confusing error. |

| mkconfig-ubuntu-recovery.patch | "single" -> "recovery" when friendly-recovery is installed If configured with --enable-ubuntu-recovery, also set nomodeset for recovery mode, and disable 'set gfxpayload=keep' even if the system normally supports it.

| wubi-no-windows.patch | Skip Windows os-prober entries on Wubi systems Since we're already being booted from the Windows boot loader, including entries that take us back to it mostly just causes confusion, and stops us from being able to hide the menu if there are no other OSes installed. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-o-wubi |

| maybe-quiet.patch | Add configure option to reduce visual clutter at boot time If this option is enabled, then do all of the following: Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're actually offering a shell prompt. (This is believed to be a workaround for a different bug. We'll go with this for now, but will drop this in favour of a better fix upstream if somebody figures out what that is.) Don't clear the screen just before booting if we never drew the menu in the first place. Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration. In some ways this is awkward because it makes debugging harder, but it's a requirement for a smooth-looking boot process; we may be able to do better in future. Upstream doesn't want this, though. Disable the cursor as well, for similar reasons of tidiness. Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode. Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down. Upstream doesn't want this, as it makes debugging harder. Ubuntu wants it to provide a cleaner boot experience. |

| install-efi-adjust-distributor.patch | Adjust efi_distributor for some distributions This is not a very good approach, and certainly not sanely upstreamable; we probably need to split GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR into a couple of different variables. |

| quick-boot.patch | Add configure option to bypass boot menu if possible If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape. This may or may not remain Ubuntu-specific, although it's not obviously wanted upstream. It implements a requirement of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec#Bootloader. If the previous boot failed (defined as failing to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels), then show the boot menu regardless. |
Robie Basak <robie.basak@ubuntu.com> | no | 2015-09-04 | ||
| quick-boot-lvm.patch | If we don't have writable grubenv and we're on EFI, always show the menu If we don't have writable grubenv, recordfail doesn't work, which means our quickboot behavior - with a timeout of 0 - leaves the user without a reliable way to access the boot menu if they're on UEFI, because unlike BIOS, UEFI does not support checking the state of modifier keys (i.e. holding down shift at boot is not detectable). Handle this corner case by always using a non-zero timeout on EFI when save_env doesn't work. Reuse GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT to avoid introducing another variable. |

| install-powerpc-machtypes.patch | Port yaboot logic for various powerpc machine types Some powerpc machines require not updating the NVRAM. This can be handled by existing grub-install command-line options, but it's friendlier to detect this automatically. On chrp_ibm machines, use the nvram utility rather than nvsetenv.

| grub-install-extra-removable.patch | Add support for forcing EFI installation to the removable media path Add an extra option to grub-install "--force-extra-removable". On EFI platforms, this will cause an extra copy of the grub-efi image to be written to the appropriate removable media patch /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOT$ARCH.EFI as well.

| bootp-process-dhcpack-http-boot.patch | bootp: Add processing DHCPACK packet from HTTP Boot The vendor class identifier with the string "HTTPClient" is used to denote the packet as responding to HTTP boot request. In DHCP4 config, the filename for HTTP boot is the URL of the boot file while for PXE boot it is the path to the boot file. As a consequence, the next-server becomes obseleted because the HTTP URL already contains the server address for the boot file. For DHCP6 config, there's no difference definition in existing config as dhcp6.bootfile-url can be used to specify URL for both HTTP and PXE boot file. This patch adds processing for "HTTPClient" vendor class identifier in DHCPACK packet by treating it as HTTP format, not as the PXE format. |

| efinet-set-network-from-uefi-devpath.patch | efinet: Setting network from UEFI device path The PXE Base Code protocol used to obtain cached PXE DHCPACK packet is no longer provided for HTTP Boot. Instead, we have to get the HTTP boot information from the device path nodes defined in following UEFI Specification sections. 9.3.5.12 IPv4 Device Path 9.3.5.13 IPv6 Device Path 9.3.5.23 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Device Path This patch basically does: include/grub/efi/api.h: Add new structure of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Device Path grub-core/net/drivers/efi/efinet.c: Check if PXE Base Code is available, if not it will try to obtain the netboot information from the device path where the image booted from. The DHCPACK packet is recoverd from the information in device patch and feed into the same DHCP packet processing functions to ensure the network interface is setting up the same way it used to be. |

| efinet-set-dns-from-uefi-proto.patch | efinet: Setting DNS server from UEFI protocol In the URI device path node, any name rahter than address can be used for looking up the resources so that DNS service become needed to get answer of the name's address. Unfortunately the DNS is not defined in any of the device path nodes so that we use the EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL and EFI_IP6_CONFIG_PROTOCOL to obtain it. These two protcols are defined the sections of UEFI specification. 27.5 EFI IPv4 Configuration II Protocol 27.7 EFI IPv6 Configuration Protocol include/grub/efi/api.h: Add new structure and protocol UUID of EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL and EFI_IP6_CONFIG_PROTOCOL. grub-core/net/drivers/efi/efinet.c: Use the EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL and EFI_IP6_CONFIG_PROTOCOL to obtain the list of DNS server address for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. The address of DNS servers is structured into DHCPACK packet and feed into the same DHCP packet processing functions to ensure the network interface is setting up the same way it used to be. |

| fix-lockdown.patch | Do not overwrite sentinel byte in boot_params, breaks lockdown grub currently copies the entire boot_params, which includes setting sentinel byte to 0xff, which triggers sanitize_boot_params in the kernel which in turn clears various boot_params variables, including the indication that the bootloader chain is verified and thus the kernel disables lockdown mode. According to the information on the Fedora bug tracker, only the information from byte 0x1f1 is necessary, so start copying from there instead. |

| uefi-secure-boot-cryptomount.patch | Fix setup on Secure Boot systems where cryptodisk is in use On full-encrypted systems, including /boot, the current code omits cryptodisk commands needed to open the drives if Secure Boot is enabled. This prevents grub2 from reading any further configuration residing on the encrypted disk. This patch fixes this issue by adding the needed "cryptomount" commands in the load.cfg file that is then copied in the EFI partition. |

| efi-variable-storage-minimise-writes.patch | Minimise writes to EFI variable storage Some UEFI firmware is easily provoked into running out of space in its variable storage. This is usually due to certain kernel drivers (e.g. pstore), but regardless of the cause it can cause grub-install to fail because it currently asks efibootmgr to delete and re-add entries, and the deletion often doesn't result in an immediate garbage collection. Writing variables frequently also increases wear on the NVRAM which may have limited write cycles. For these reasons, it's desirable to find a way to minimise writes while still allowing grub-install to ensure that a suitable boot entry exists. Unfortunately, efibootmgr doesn't offer an interface that would let grub-install do this. It doesn't in general make very much effort to minimise writes; it doesn't allow modifying an existing Boot* variable entry, except in certain limited ways; and current versions don't have a way to export the expected variable data so that grub-install can compare it to the current data. While it would be possible (and perhaps desirable?) to add at least some of this to efibootmgr, that would still leave the problem that there isn't a good upstreamable way for grub-install to guarantee that it has a new enough version of efibootmgr. In any case, it's cumbersome and slow for grub-install to have to fork efibootmgr to get things done. Fortunately, a few years ago Peter Jones helpfully factored out a substantial part of efibootmgr to the efivar and efiboot libraries, and so it's now possible to have grub-install use those directly. We still have to use some code from efibootmgr, but much less than would previously have been necessary. grub-install now reuses existing boot entries where possible, and avoids writing to variables when the new contents are the same as the old contents. In the common upgrade case where nothing needs to change, it no longer writes to NVRAM at all. It's also now slightly faster, since using libefivar is faster than forking efibootmgr. Fixes Debian bug #891434. |

| grub-install-removable-shim.patch | Deal with --force-extra-removable with signed shim too In this case, we need both the signed shim as /EFI/BOOT/BOOTXXX.EFI and signed Grub as /EFI/BOOT/grubXXX.efi. Also install the BOOTXXX.CSV into /EFI/debian, and FBXXX.EFI into /EFI/BOOT/ so that it can work when needed (*iff* we're updating the NVRAM). [cjwatson: Refactored also_install_removable somewhat for brevity and so that we're using consistent case-insensitive logic.] |

| xen-no-xsm-policy-in-non-xsm-options.patch | 20_linux_xen: Do not load XSM policy in non-XSM options For complicated reasons, even if you have XSM/FLASK disabled (as is the default) the Xen build system still builds a policy file and puts it in /boot. Even so, we shouldn't be loading this in the usual non-"XSM enabled" entries. It doesn't do any particular harm but it is quite confusing. |

| pc-verifiers-module.patch | i386-pc: build verifiers API as module Given no core functions on i386-pc would require verifiers to work and the only consumer of the verifier API is the pgp module, it looks good to me that we can move the verifiers out of the kernel image and let moddep.lst to auto-load it when pgp is loaded on i386-pc platform. This helps to reduce the size of core image and thus can relax the tension of exploding on some i386-pc system with very short MBR gap size. See also a very comprehensive summary from Colin [1] about the details. [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2021-03/msg00240.html V2: Drop COND_NOT_i386_pc and use !COND_i386_pc.

| mkimage-fix-section-sizes.patch | util/mkimage: Some fixes to PE binaries section size calculation Commit f60ba9e5945 (util/mkimage: Refactor section setup to use a helper) added a helper function to setup PE sections, but it caused regressions in some arches where the natural alignment lead to wrong section sizes. This patch fixes a few things that were caused the section sizes to be calculated wrongly. These fixes are: * Only align the virtual memory addresses but not the raw data offsets. * Use aligned sizes for virtual memory sizes but not for raw data sizes. * Always align the sizes to set the virtual memory sizes. These seems to not cause problems for x64 and aa64 EFI platforms but was a problem for ia64. Because the size of the ".data" and "mods" sections were wrong and didn't have the correct content. Which lead to GRUB not being able to load any built-in module. |

| xfs-fix-v4-superblock.patch | fs/xfs: Fix unreadable filesystem with v4 superblock The commit 8b1e5d193 (fs/xfs: Add bigtime incompat feature support) introduced the bigtime support by adding some features in v3 inodes. This change extended grub_xfs_inode struct by 76 bytes but also changed the computation of XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE and XFS_V3_INODE_SIZE. Prior this commit, XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE was 100 bytes. After the commit it's 84 bytes XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE becomes 16 bytes too small. As a result, the data structures aren't properly aligned and the GRUB generates "attempt to read or write outside of partition" errors when trying to read the XFS filesystem: GNU GRUB version 2.11 .... grub> set debug=efi,gpt,xfs grub> insmod part_gpt grub> ls (hd0,gpt1)/ partmap/gpt.c:93: Read a valid GPT header partmap/gpt.c:115: GPT entry 0: start=4096, length=1953125 fs/xfs.c:931: Reading sb fs/xfs.c:270: Validating superblock fs/xfs.c:295: XFS v4 superblock detected fs/xfs.c:962: Reading root ino 128 fs/xfs.c:515: Reading inode (128) - 64, 0 fs/xfs.c:515: Reading inode (739521961424144223) - 344365866970255880, 3840 error: attempt to read or write outside of partition. This commit change the XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE computation by subtracting 76 bytes instead of 92 bytes from the actual size of grub_xfs_inode struct.

| 0064-commands-boot-Add-API-to-pass-context-to-loader.patch | commands/boot: Add API to pass context to loader Loaders rely on global variables for saving context which is consumed in the boot hook and freed in the unload hook. In the case where a loader command is executed twice, calling grub_loader_set a second time executes the unload hook, but in some cases this runs when the loader's global context has already been updated, resulting in the updated context being freed and potential use-after-free bugs when the boot hook is subsequently called. This adds a new API (grub_loader_set_ex) which allows a loader to specify context that is passed to its boot and unload hooks. This is an alternative to requiring that loaders call grub_loader_unset before mutating their global context. (cherry picked from commit 4322a64dde7e8fedb58e50b79408667129d45dd3) |

This means that image data will overwrite somewhat-attacker-controlled parts of memory - 3 bytes out of every 4 following the end of the image. This has existed since greyscale support was added in 2013 in commit 3ccf16dff98f (grub-core/video/readers/png.c: Support grayscale). Saving starfield.png as a 16-bit greyscale image without alpha in the gimp and attempting to load it causes grub-emu to crash - I don't think this code has ever worked.

This was caused because in grub_jpeg_decode_data(), we have the following loop: for (; data->r1 < nr1 && (!data->dri || rst); data->r1++, data->bitmap_ptr += (vb * data->image_width - hb * nc1) * 3) We did not check if vb * width >= hb * nc1. On a 64-bit platform, if that turns out to be negative, it will underflow, be interpreted as unsigned 64-bit, then be added to the 64-bit pointer, so we see data->bitmap_ptr jump, e.g.: 0x6180_0000_0480 to 0x6181_0000_0498 ^ ~--- carry has occurred and this pointer is now far away from any object. On a 32-bit platform, it will decrement the pointer, creating a pointer that won't crash but will overwrite random data. Catch the underflow and error out. |

| 0080-net-dns-Fix-double-free-addresses-on-corrupt-DNS-res.patch | net/dns: Fix double-free addresses on corrupt DNS response grub_net_dns_lookup() takes as inputs a pointer to an array of addresses ("addresses") for the given name, and pointer to a number of addresses ("naddresses"). grub_net_dns_lookup() is responsible for allocating "addresses", and the caller is responsible for freeing it if "naddresses" > 0. The DNS recv_hook will sometimes set and free the addresses array, for example if the packet is too short: if (ptr + 10 >= nb->tail) { if (!*data->naddresses) grub_free (*data->addresses); grub_netbuff_free (nb); return GRUB_ERR_NONE; } Later on the nslookup command code unconditionally frees the "addresses" array. Normally this is fine: the array is either populated with valid data or is NULL. But in these sorts of error cases it is neither NULL nor valid and we get a double-free. Only free "addresses" if "naddresses" > 0. It looks like the other use of grub_net_dns_lookup() is not affected. |

| 0082-net-tftp-Prevent-a-UAF-and-double-free-from-a-failed.patch | net/tftp: Prevent a UAF and double-free from a failed seek A malicious tftp server can cause UAFs and a double free. An attempt to read from a network file is handled by grub_net_fs_read(). If the read is at an offset other than the current offset, grub_net_seek_real() is invoked. In grub_net_seek_real(), if a backwards seek cannot be satisfied from the currently received packets, and the underlying transport does not provide a seek method, then grub_net_seek_real() will close and reopen the network protocol layer. For tftp, the ->close() call goes to tftp_close() and frees the tftp_data_t file->data. The file->data pointer is not nulled out after the free. If the ->open() call fails, the file->data will not be reallocated and will continue point to a freed memory block. This could happen from a server refusing to send the requisite ack to the new tftp request, for example. The seek and the read will then fail, but the grub_file continues to exist: the failed seek does not necessarily cause the entire file to be thrown away (e.g. where the file is checked to see if it is gzipped/lzio/xz/etc., a read failure is interpreted as a decompressor passing on the file, not as an invalidation of the entire grub_file_t structure). This means subsequent attempts to read or seek the file will use the old file->data after free. Eventually, the file will be close()d again and file->data will be freed again. Mark a net_fs file that doesn't reopen as broken. Do not permit read() or close() on a broken file (seek is not exposed directly to the file API - it is only called as part of read, so this blocks seeks as well). As an additional defence, null out the ->data pointer if tftp_open() fails. That would have lead to a simple null pointer dereference rather than a mess of UAFs. This may affect other protocols, I haven't checked. |

| 0085-net-http-Fix-OOB-write-for-split-http-headers.patch | net/http: Fix OOB write for split http headers GRUB has special code for handling an http header that is split across two packets. The code tracks the end of line by looking for a "\n" byte. The code for split headers has always advanced the pointer just past the end of the line, whereas the code that handles unsplit headers does not advance the pointer. This extra advance causes the length to be one greater, which breaks an assumption in parse_line(), leading to it writing a NUL byte one byte past the end of the buffer where we reconstruct the line from the two packets. It's conceivable that an attacker controlled set of packets could cause this to zero out the first byte of the "next" pointer of the grub_mm_region structure following the current_line buffer. Do not advance the pointer in the split header case. |

These special characters MUST be in a quoted string to be used within a parameter value (as defined in section 3.6).

The combined size of the structure, name and data should be less than the allocated memory, a difference to the Linux kernel's struct btrfs_dir_item is that the grub_btrfs_dir_item has an extra field for where the name is stored, so we adjust for that too. |

| 0091-fs-btrfs-Fix-more-ASAN-and-SEGV-issues-found-with-fu.patch | fs/btrfs: Fix more ASAN and SEGV issues found with fuzzing The fuzzer is generating btrfs file systems that have chunks with invalid combinations of stripes and substripes for the given RAID configurations. After examining the Linux kernel fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c code, it appears that sub-stripes should only be applied to RAID10, and in that case there should only ever be 2 of them. Similarly, RAID single should only have 1 stripe, and RAID1/1C3/1C4 should have 2. 3 or 4 stripes respectively, which is what redundancy corresponds. Some of the chunks ended up with a size of 0, which grub_malloc() still returned memory for and in turn generated ASAN errors later when accessed. While it would be possible to specifically limit the number of stripes, a more correct test was on the combination of the chunk item, and the number of stripes by the size of the chunk stripe structure in comparison to the size of the chunk itself. |

Each stripe entry in the bootmapping block consists of a grub_btrfs_key followed by a grub_btrfs_chunk_stripe. Another issue that came up was that while calculating the chunk size, in an earlier piece of code in that function, depending on the data provided in the btrfs file system, it would end up calculating a size that was too small to contain even 1 grub_btrfs_chunk_item, which is obviously invalid too. |
