 |
|
I am trying to build signed sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel with secureboot and modules-sign flags and it fails.
The last 300 lines of the build log; https://bpa.st/TFVPW
Probably the key part
| Code: | # SIGN /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.58-r1/image/lib/modules/6.6.58-gentoo-dist/kernel/arch/x86/events/amd/power.ko

/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.58-r1/temp/kernel_key.pem cointains my cert + encrypted key.
make.conf contains
| Code: | SECUREBOOT_SIGN_KEY="mypath/file.key"
SECUREBOOT_SIGN_CERT="mypath/file.crt"
MODULES_SIGN_KEY="mypath/file.key"
MODULES_SIGN_CERT="mypath/file.crt" |
As you can see, openssl tries to sign the kernel module and has some problem reading the password. Why? My key and cert files are ok, I have already signed UKI, grub, etc. with them. There have been no problems so far.
The command that generated my key
| Code: | | openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj "/CN=my name" -keyout file.key -out file.crt -days 9999 -sha256 |
At the beginning of building the package before the kernel was build, I was asked to enter the password twice. There was no error, because in case of an error the installation stops. So something must be wrong with my configuration, but what?

@pietinger: Thanks but I still don't fully understand what's wrong.
The command generating the error is, in short
| Code: | | sign-file sha512 "/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.58-r1/temp/kernel_key.pem" certs/signing_key.x509 <kernel-module>.ko |
The pem file
| Code: | | /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.58-r1/temp/kernel_key.pem |
contains
| Code: | ----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----
...
----END CERTIFICATE---
----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
...
----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
|
and this file is a union of my files .key and .crt that I defined in make.conf.
The kernel config contains out of the box:
| Code: | -*- Cryptographic API --->
Certificates for signature checking --->
(sign-file sha512 "/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.58-r1/temp/kernel_key.pem) File name or PKCS#11 URI of module signing key |
So it seems ok, but what about "certs/signing_key.x509"? Shouldn't my certificate be used here? If so, how to configure it?
EDIT:
| Code: | | oepnssl x509 -noout -text -in /usr/src/linux/certs/signing_key.x509 |
shows me "Issuer: CN=Build time autogenerated kernel key" but is /usr/src/linux/ the right path? If yes, signing_key.x509 is probably wrong in this case, right? |

I am sorry, I know all these signing stuff only when doing a manually configuration - I cannot help with these automatic routines ... maybe @Nowa (or any other user with experience for this) jumps in ?!

That sounds like: https://bugs.gentoo.org/935733
FEATURES=pid-sandbox interferes with the passphrase prompt, you can disable that feature as a workaround.

@Nowa: No, it must be something different. My make.conf contains FEATURES="-pid-sandbox" and it solves the prompt related issues. I can enter the password before building the kernel.
Now, I created a test textfile x.txt
| Code: | | /usr/src/linux/scripts/sign-file sha512 path/myfile.key /usr/src/linux/certs/signing_key.x509 x.txt |
Same error.
| Code: | | /usr/src/linux/scripts/sign-file sha512 path/myfile.key path/myfile.crt x.txt |
Same error.
| Code: | At main.c:171:
- SSL error:07880109:common libcrypto routines::interrupted or cancelled: ../openssl-3.3.2/crypto/passphrase.c:178
- SSL error:07880109:common libcrypto routines::interrupted or cancelled: ../openssl-3.3.2/crypto/passphrase.c:178

- SSL error:04800068:PEM routines::bad password read: ../openssl-3.3.2/crypto/pem/pem_pkey.c:159 |
No prompt is shown here. Immediately an error. What is going on? |

Hmm, if you use openssl directly to sign something, does this work? If not then there is some more general problem in your openssl and the askpass.
Note though, openssl does not do pin caching so when you do get this working again then you'll have to enter the same pin about a hundred times every time the kernel compiles. You can avoid this by setting your pin with the KBUILD_SIGN_PIN variable, but this only works for the modules, not for the secureboot signature.

@Nowa;
| Code: | | sbsign --key=path/myfile.key --cert=path/myfile.crt testfile --output testfile.signed |
works without problem, there is a pass phrase prompt.
UKI signing through dracut (gentoo-kernel -> installkernel) works without problem with pass phrase prompt.
Grub signing with secureboot flag FEATURES="-pid-sandbox" works without problem.
The only problem I have so far is the one in this post. |

Is KBUILD_SIGN_PIN maybe set in the environment? That could explain why it skips asking for the pin and immediately returns with 'wrong pin'.
The other possibility is that the key type is wrong, the kernel is a bit more constrained in terms of what is supported. There is a x509.keygen file in the certs directory of the kernel sources that is supposed to be used for generating a new module signing key, it should set all the required options: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/admin-guide/module-signing.html
