"value": "A flaw was found in the interaction between systemd-gpt-auto-generator and \nconfidential computing guest VM images in OpenShift Sandboxed Containers \n(confidential peer pods). systemd-gpt-auto-generator automatically discovers \nand mounts GPT partitions by type GUID at boot with no user confirmation. In \nthe confidential computing threat model, where the host/hypervisor is the \nadversary, a malicious host can inject partitions into the guest's virtual \ndisk. Most critically, injecting a swap partition causes the guest kernel to \npage out TEE-encrypted memory to a host-controlled block device, breaking the \nconfidentiality guarantee of the hardware TEE (AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX).\n\nThe PodVM images use a GPT-partitioned disk with dm-verity on the root \npartition. However, the roothash= kernel parameter only disables root \nauto-discovery — non-root partitions (swap, /home, /var, /srv, /var/tmp) are \nstill auto-discovered and mounted. The generator is shipped unmasked in the \nRHEL systemd-udev subpackage, and no kernel command line parameter in the \nmeasured UKI addon disables it. Additionally, the PodVM measurement script \ncaptures PCRs 3, 9, 11, and 12, but not PCR 5 (GPT partition table), so \npartition table modifications are not detected by remote attestation."
