To address this issue, an SGX TCB recovery is planned for Q2 2021. Customers
will require the software update to get successful attestation responses. For
customers using the Intel Attestation Service (IAS), the IAS Development
Environment (DEV) will enforce the software updates beginning June 15, 2021 and
the IAS Production Environment (LIV) will enforce the updates beginning July
13, 2021.
For customers that are not using IAS, but instead are constructing their own
attestation infrastructure using the Intel SGX Provisioning Certificate Service
(PCS), updated Endorsements/Reference Values (i.e., PCK Certificates and
verification collateral) will be available June 8, 2021. These customers decide
when to enforce the software update, as part of their Appraisal Policies.
Refer to Intel SGX Attestation Technical Details for more information on the
SGX TCB recovery process.
Further TCB Recovery Guidance for developers is available.
Acknowledgements:
Intel would like to thank Tuba Yavuz, Farhaan Fowze, Ken (Yihang) Bai, Grant
Hernandez, Kevin Butler and Dave Tian from University of Florida for reporting
this issue.
Intel, and nearly the entire technology industry, follows a disclosure practice
called Coordinated Disclosure, under which a cybersecurity vulnerability is
generally publicly disclosed only after mitigations are available.
