Summary

Go-Attestation: Hash injection into trusted measurement list via unskipped SignatureHeaderSize vendor bytes in parseEfiSignatureList()

Details

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

CVE-2026-12681 (GCVE-0-2026-12681)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-24 00:49 – Updated: 2026-06-24 12:57

Summary

Improper Validation of Specified Index, Position, or Offset in Input vulnerability in Google go-attestation. parseEfiSignatureList() does not advance the buffer past vendor bytes before reading entries. For hashSHA256SigGUID lists, this allows attacker-controlled vendor header bytes to be appended to the trusted SHA256 hash list. A crafted TPM event log could inject arbitrary SHA256 hashes into the verifier's trusted measurement database, enabling a remote attestation verifier to accept a compromised boot state. This issue affects go-attestation: through 0.6.0.

Severity

8.9 (High)
