7 SGX Vulnerabilities Source: AsyncShock Fine grain preemption control to widen the window of vulnerability of synchronization bugs 7

8 SGX Vulnerabilities Fine grain preemption control to widen the window of vulnerability for side-channel attacks Fine grain preemption control to widen the window of vulnerability of synchronization bugs 8

9 SGX Vulnerabilities Running Example: Osvik et al., Cache Attacks and Countermeasures: the Case of AES, CT-RSA 2006 in-memory tables T i source: wikimedia 9

10 SGX Vulnerabilities Running Example: Osvik et al., Cache Attacks and Countermeasures: the Case of AES, CT-RSA 2006 T i R 5 = read T i [x j ] R 0 = xor R 0, R 5 read T i [0] read T i [n] T i 10

11 SGX Vulnerabilities Running Example: Osvik et al., Cache Attacks and Countermeasures: the Case of AES, CT-RSA 2006 T i R 6 = read T i [0] cmp 0, x j R 5 = cmov R 6 R 0 = xor R 0, R 5 T i low indistinguishable data access pattern embedded into low indistinguishable control flow 11

12 SGX Vulnerabilities Running Example: Osvik et al., Cache Attacks and Countermeasures: the Case of AES, CT-RSA 2006 disable preemptions R 5 = read T i [x j ] R 0 = xor R 0, R 5 read T i [0] read T i [n] enable preemptions T i T i 12

13 This talk Re-investigate delayed-preemption: How can we allow user-level applications (in enclaves) to disable preemptions without being able to monopolizing the system? How can we prevent solicited exits through which the management OS could regain control? How can we translate delayedpreemption to Intel SGX? 13

14 This talk disable preemptions R 5 = read T i [x j ] R 0 = xor R 0, R 5 read T i [0] read T i [n] enable preemptions How can we prevent solicited exits in sensitive code? How can we make sure the enclave enables preemptions again? 14

15 This talk disable preemptions prepare if preempted goto retry R 5 = read T i [x j ] R 0 = xor R 0, R 5 read T i [0] read T i [n] enable preemptions How can we prevent solicited exits in sensitive code? How can we make sure the enclave enables preemptions again? 15

17 Delayed Preemption in a Trusted-Trustworthy Hypervisor user / enclave mode kernel mode max_tolerable_delay disable all interrupts except timer program timer to max_tolerable_delay inform app about pending preemption: p = 1 time execute delayed preemptions 17

24 Solicited Exits retry: xapic.d = 1; prepare if (p = 1) goto retry R 5 = read T i [x j ] R 0 = xor R 0, R 5 read T i [0] read T i [n] xapic.d = 0 // if (xapic.p = 1) -> AEX max_tolerable_delay How to prevent solicited exits in sensitive code? data / instruction page-faults lazy FPU context switch power management device virtualization access pages / FPU; check p-flag report power state access device MMIO / ports; check p-flag check max_tolerable_delay > WCET(prepare + sensitive) of current power state 24
