Go-Attestation: Hash injection into trusted measurement list via unskipped SignatureHeaderSize vendor bytes in parseEfiSignatureList()
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/google/go-attestation | < 0.6.1 | 0.6.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
`parseEfiSignatureList()` in `attest/internal/events.go` does not skip
`SignatureHeaderSize` vendor bytes before reading `EFI_SIGNATURE_LIST`
signature entries, violating UEFI specification section 31.4.1.
## Impact
For `hashSHA256SigGUID` lists, attacker-controlled vendor header bytes are appended directly to the trusted SHA256 hash list. A crafted TPM event log can inject arbitrary SHA256 hashes into the verifier's trusted measurement database, allowing a remote attestation verifier to accept a compromised boot state as legitimate — breaking the core integrity guarantee of remote attestation.
## Root Cause
After `binary.Read(&signatures.Header)` reads 28 bytes, `buf` points to the start of the `SignatureHeaderSize` vendor bytes. Both entry loops start at `sigOffset := 0` instead of `sigOffset := SignatureHeaderSize`, causing vendor bytes to be read as signature entries.
## Affected versions
All versions through commit `f877374` (2026-05-15).
## Fix
Pull request: https://github.com/google/go-attestation/pull/502
- Add bound check: `SignatureHeaderSize` must not exceed remaining list space
- Skip `SignatureHeaderSize` bytes before both entry loops
- Regression test: `TestParseEfiSignatureListNonZeroSignatureHeaderSize`
