mcextractor's Issues

Warnings in work with this dump

Hello Plato.

Information about the platform: HP 250 G1, InsydeH20, SPI on 2 flashes (4096kB+1024kB).
Full dump from FPT

The first thing that confused me was MCExtractor with warnings about microcode #8. Details below:

Warning: Microcode #8 has non-empty Reserved fields, please report it!
 
Warning: Microcode #8 has Header CPUID discrepancy, please report it!
 
Warning: Microcode #8 is crossing over to the next microcode(s), please report it!
 
Warning: Microcode #8 is corrupted, please report it!

My further analysis leads to the fact that the MC 306A9 of interest to me is located in the firmware in a truncated form. The MC block starting at 3F00C has a length of 2440 instead of the original 2C00 corresponding to this version of the MC.

Thread on Win-Raid

Thanks for your time helping me.

Option to decently order microcode entries?

At the moment AFAICT they are shown in whatever order they are placed inside a file.
But at least for the mcupdates windows ships with, there's absolutely no regularity in the position of any single "entry" across different "whole file" releases.
This makes diffing slightly more annoying than I'd like.

Now, I don't really know how much important offset ordering is (so maybe changing this could not be a good default), but I'd like to see some way to have CPUID ordering.

Add support for new Intel Microcode header fields + In-Field Scan (IFS) type

Based on the feedback by @andyhhp at #59 (comment) and the commits from https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/arch/x86/include/asm/microcode_intel.h, it appears Intel has been busy lately with the microcode format. Here are the changes that need to be implemented in MCE:

1. Header Version (i.e. 0x00-0x04) is actually Header Type with 1 meaning "Microcode" and 2 "In-Field Scan" (IFS).
2. Reserved 1/3 (i.e. 0x24-0x28) is now IFS Metadata Size for the Header Type 2 structures.
3. Reserved 2/3 (i.e. 0x28-0x2C) is now Minimum Required Version for avoiding OS Kernel Late Loading incompatibilities.

1. kind of MCE.exe : does the database is ready because it doesn't find any update ? fornulately two are installed ever since the olds patchs i was found and install from your fork there are some months or years and inspectre the say about both threat disabled,

2. kind of mce.py : does this is a threat if i move down the level of their dependencies ? thus if there aren't any threat how to move down the level of their dependancies ?

thanks you in advance for your help,

Source of newer Intel microcodes

I would like to know the origin of newer Intel microcodes, especially those:

cpu10676_plat91_ver00000612_2015-08-02_PRD_1750A2A6.bin

because they are newer than Intel's official microcodes. Corresponding entries from that repository:

Is there any other official microcode repository, or could it be that Intel's is outdated?

View the whole MCE.db in human-readable text format?

I would like to check what's the latest microcode version for AMD CPU with ID = 610F31 , but your software doesn't have any option to print this information or at least print all known microcodes for AMD CPU's - so that I could manually look through for microcode info that belongs to CPU ID of my interest...

Contributing microcode versions to MCE.db

My name is Richard Hughes and I run the LVFS which is a firmware site used by most of the consumer OEMs to distribute mostly UEFI firmware to Linux users. We've recently switched from chipsec uefi decode to UEFIExtract to decompress FV volumes from capsules. This gives us microcode blobs "for free" which we're currently saving as blobs in a private database.

I was wondering two things:

• If we can use MCE.db to tell vendors "you're shipping an old microcode version" when they upload a firmware update with microcode updates for the same CPUID.

• If in return, we can contribute new microcode versions automatically/semi-automatically as they are uploaded somehow. Ideas I had here were perhaps having a script that emailed you (?) a tarball of all the microcode versions that existed on the LVFS every week, or perhaps hitting an endpoint you provide (e.g. MCE_upload.py with POST data). Ideas very welcome here.

MCExtractor should add 1KB padding to files with odd file sizes

Bios utilities expect the file to be power of 2, for instance, they can import a 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12KB microcode binary, but will fail on 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

for ease of injection, MCExtractor should add 1KB of zeroed data to the end of any microcode binary which is odd number.

For instance, the file cpu206C2_plat03_ver0000001F_2018-05-08_PRD_77DADA73.bin recently added is 11KB and fails to be inserted by any version of MMTool, adding 1KB of dummy data to the end resolves this.

-search option: Version explanation

Hi, I am currently digging BIOS files of my new potential motherboard, specifically AMD B550 chipset that is rumored to have zen/zen+ support depending on OEM. Using the downloaded BIOS of Phantom Gaming B550 ITX, I performed a search with CPUID 0800F11 which is the ID of my soon-to-be-transferred CPU (Ryzen 3 1200).

the search succeed, displaying entries of 0800F11 as shown below

while I could understand the date and size, I'm unsure what version means. Exact cpu model? cpu model string?

why I'm choosing this board for my zen cpu is future proofing, of course and Asrock seems to have it in initial/factory bios

Breaks in a table

Hello Plato! :)

Look at this please

MCE v1.70.0 + DB 207
Example BIOS file

Result

The main table is bursting with messages about new microcode. Is that how it should be now?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you in advance to help myself running fully your program,

I think the microcode is the following :

the inscpectre program say it is the followinf uid :

if you are agree thank you in advance to help myself launch the microcode,

Some of latest Intel microcodes not detected

Intel microcode version 3303 for CPUID's 50656 and 50657 are not seen as a microcode by MCE.

The latest version of UEFITool NE can see them properly.

Listed microcode above found at: https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files

UEFITool NE found at: https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool

MCE microcode file:

MCE modded BIOS:

UEFITool NE:

For a comparison, the previous microcode 3302 for CPUID's 50656 and 50657 are detected properly.

MCE previous modded BIOS:

The Windows 10 RedStone 5 (1903) mcupdate_genuineintel.dll is rather much bigger than the KB4100347 (1803)

Would this be of any interest to you? 1471384 bytes (1803) versus 2875184 bytes

It appears to (also) contain some older microcode revisions, that are not in the (current) microcode database. Possibly because you remove ones that are superseded?

Issue with extracted microcode files and MMTool

Thanks a lot for your useful tool! I was looking for the newest Intel Xeon 5600 Series microcode (206C2) today and I used your tool to extract the microcode of an Intel S55xx BIOS file (R0068) as well as one HP server board (SP75718) which both include a more recent version 1D (2015/08/04) than what I could find on the web otherwise. Your tool tells me that this is not the most up-to-date version though and I wanted to suggest to provide the version number and the date of the newest one as well in your tool which would be very useful. By the way, the official files from Intel for Linux don't provide this particular microcode.

As I tried to integrate the extracted *.bin-file in the BIOS of my motherboard (Asus P6X58D-E) with MMTool (3.26 and 3.19 Mod 21-Fix), the tool rejects it with an error message: "This is not a valid CPU microcode patch file". I get this error with some of the official Intel Linux files as well, but some do work. Hence I can't say for sure if it is an issue of your tool or MMTool. Is there another easy to use method to integrate the *.bin-files into this particular AMI BIOS?

Not an issue but problem!

Hello, are there anywhere that I can download mce.exe for r272 and future releases? Can you please give me a link?

Microcode Updates

Hey platomav,

I am a coreboot developer and would like to ask if it is possible to share microcode
updates in a different way, e.g. git repository. Currently you use mediafire which works not
really good for our project. We already have a git blobs repository. Are there any issues with
licenses ?

Best Regards, Philipp

Msvcr100.dll shouldn't be there

I'm not sure you are supposed/expected to redistribute VC runtime.
Iirc it should be possible not-to-even need it, but even if I was wrong you could just link this.

Problem starting MCExtractor

Hi,
I have downloaded MC Extractor and python310.dll but it will not start.
python310.dll is in the same folder and also C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ and C:\Windows\System32
I include screen grabs.

Show socket information

Can you add the (now missing) socket information?

Note that 'Platform' is a bit mask for the supported sockets.

Update check bug

Hello Plato.

problem with prettytable 0.7.2

Hi,
I'm trying to use MCExtrctor and getting this information:

root@debian:~/MCExtractor# python3.6 MCE.py 

Error: MCE just crashed, please report the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "MCE.py", line 828, in <module>
    mce_hdr()
  File "MCE.py", line 787, in mce_hdr
    hdr_pt,hdr_pt_empty = mc_table([], False, 1)
  File "MCE.py", line 731, in mc_table
    if not param.cli_redirect : pt.set_style(prettytable.BOX_CHARS)
AttributeError: module 'prettytable' has no attribute 'BOX_CHARS'

Since MCE requires Python3.6 I used this instruction on my Debian.

Microcode cross-over check does not take into account skipped/FP pattern matches

The logic, which checks if a microcode crosses over to the next one (if present), does not take into account potential microcode detections which were skipped during the sanity checks (format, date, fields etc). This can cause "ghost" detections of microcode cross-overs.

[RFE] Add an option to show only the latest microcode available for a CPUID

Hello,

First, thank you for that invaluable tool, it's quite helpful in handling this year's string of vulnerabilities.
My goal is to automate a check of a number of systems to see if they're running the latest available microcode. Getting the CPUID and running MCE -search <cpuid> -redir gives the full list in a formatted way.
I would like to know if it's possible to add an option that would return only the most recent version for that microcode, or maybe the same list, but more easily parseable in a script (without the header and table, and with a field separator).

can I use mcextractor to find newest microcode blobs for my laptop

Hallo Plato

I've recently updated my lenovot x220 laptop to use coreboot. After that vendor released bios update (march 20). Bios update file is 8duj29us.exe and I would like to extract microcode blobs from it and then bundle them onto my coreboot.

There are two cases with it:

1. it find it very hard (to me at least) to extract microcode blob updates directly from .exe file. Option to install vendor bios onto my lenovo laptop, then reflash back to coreboot is troublesome way.
2. what if lenovo will abandon updating the bios for my laptop, while I still would like to use it.

My question is if I could use mcextractor to acquire new binary blobs for my x220 laptop.?

For the sake of completness, vendor BIOS for my laptop does contain following blobs:

flashregion_0_flashdescriptor.bin
flashregion_1_bios.bin
flashregion_2_intel_me.bin
flashregion_3_gbe.bin

all but flashregion_1_bios.bin were required by coreboot.

best regards,
Matt

1995 0x611 version 0xB..26 (reversed endian header, 2048, null padding)

Revision 0x26 with reverse-endianness in prefix header. This could be May or September 1995:

$ hexdump -C 1995mmdd-0x611_v26.pdb | head -n2
00000000  00 00 00 01 00 0b 00 26  09 05 19 95 00 00 06 11
00000010  56 52 0b 61 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

$ sqlite3 -csv -header ../MCE.db 'select * from intel' | head -n2
cpuid,platform,version,yyyymmdd,size,checksum
00000611,00000000,00000B27,19961218,00000800,05793E46

This one is notable for having null padding after the active payload, instead of the usual "0x838BA96F"/"0x6FA98B83" trailing squence.
