ESP_FAULT_ASSERT(C) was silently deleted by the optimizer when C is a cached
flag/status already proven by a preceding `if (!C) return/goto`: the compiler
folds C to a constant and drops all three checks, removing the fault-injection
protection with no warning.
ECDSA based Secure Boot V2 is not functional for certain input vectors on
ESP32-C5/C61/H2/P4 and on the preview targets ESP32-H4/H21. RSA based Secure
Boot V2 is the recommended scheme where the SoC supports it. This issue will be
fixed in a future hardware ECO revision; more details will be shared through the
hardware errata document.
A new hidden Kconfig option SECURE_BOOT_V2_ECDSA_INSECURE marks the affected
mass-production SoCs (ESP32-C5/C61/H2/P4). On these SoCs, when hardware Secure
Boot V2 is enabled, the ECDSA (V2) signing scheme is no longer offered by
default; it must be turned on explicitly via SECURE_BOOT_V2_FORCE_ENABLE_ECDSA
under "Allow potentially insecure options" (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE). App
signing without hardware Secure Boot is not affected. Note that ESP32-C61 has no
RSA based Secure Boot V2, so it has no Secure Boot scheme enabled by default.
The preview targets ESP32-H4 and ESP32-H21 mark ECDSA Secure Boot V2 as not
supported in their SoC capabilities instead of using the option above. As
ESP32-H4 has no other Secure Boot V2 scheme, Secure Boot is disabled entirely on
it; ESP32-H21 retains RSA based Secure Boot V2.
The security documentation keeps the ECDSA Secure Boot V2 content visible and
adds a warning describing the limitation (including that ECDSA Secure Boot V2 on
ESP32-C61 is not recommended for production). CI apps that exercise ECDSA Secure
Boot V2 on the affected SoCs set CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_V2_FORCE_ENABLE_ECDSA
accordingly.
- `bootloader_flash_execute_command_common`: whitelist the flash command
opcodes the REE actually uses; reject the rest
- `spi_flash_hal_* services`: a forged `host->driver` could hijack TEE
control flow since the HAL dispatches through it, so swap
`host->driver` to a TEE-rodata vtable around each HAL call
- Deny partition table and bootloader writes by default and permit
bootloader writes only when explicitly enabled via
`CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_DANGEROUS_WRITE_ALLOWED` option
- Protect the TEE-assigned interrupt pin configuration against REE
- Validate nested DS context pointers in start/finish_sign and bound
the result copy to the SoC max signature size
- Fix the stack usage in service dispatcher argument parsing
Replace memcmp with mbedtls_ct_memcmp in PSA MAC verify_finish entries
(CMAC, HMAC-transparent, HMAC-opaque) to prevent timing side-channel
MAC forgery, and unconditionally zeroize the locally-computed MAC on
the stack before return so a later stack-disclosure primitive cannot
recover the valid MAC.
Replace bzero with mbedtls_platform_zeroize in AES context free paths.
esp_hmac_abort_opaque() had an inverted guard that called
mbedtls_platform_zeroize() on the context only when the context pointer
was NULL, dereferencing NULL and skipping cleanup of valid contexts.
Effect:
* Calling the abort path with a NULL pointer crashes (NULL write)
instead of being a safe no-op.
* The valid (non-NULL) HMAC opaque operation context is never zeroized
on abort, leaving sensitive intermediate HMAC state and key handle
references in operation memory until the buffer is overwritten or
freed.
Fix: invert the check so zeroization runs only when the context pointer
is non-NULL.
