# vim: set ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 et: # Print command-line usage information to stdout show_usage() { # shellcheck disable=SC2086 cat <] [--config ] [--map ]> --live Offline mode: $(basename $0) [options] <[--kernel ] [--config ] [--map ]> Modes: Two modes are available. First mode is the "live" mode (default), it does its best to find information about the currently running kernel. To run under this mode, just start the script without any option (you can also use --live explicitly) Second mode is the "offline" mode, where you can inspect a non-running kernel. This mode is automatically enabled when you specify the location of the kernel file, config and System.map files: --kernel kernel_file specify a (possibly compressed) Linux or BSD kernel file --config kernel_config specify a kernel config file (Linux only) --map kernel_map_file specify a kernel System.map file (Linux only) If you want to use live mode while specifying the location of the kernel, config or map file yourself, you can add --live to the above options, to tell the script to run in live mode instead of the offline mode, which is enabled by default when at least one file is specified on the command line. Options: --no-color don't use color codes --verbose, -v increase verbosity level, possibly several times --explain produce an additional human-readable explanation of actions to take to mitigate a vulnerability --paranoid require IBPB to deem Variant 2 as mitigated also require SMT disabled + unconditional L1D flush to deem Foreshadow-NG VMM as mitigated also require SMT disabled to deem MDS vulnerabilities mitigated --no-sysfs don't use the /sys interface even if present [Linux] --sysfs-only only use the /sys interface, don't run our own checks [Linux] --coreos special mode for CoreOS (use an ephemeral toolbox to inspect kernel) [Linux] --arch-prefix PREFIX specify a prefix for cross-inspecting a kernel of a different arch, for example "aarch64-linux-gnu-", so that invoked tools will be prefixed with this (i.e. aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump) --batch text produce machine readable output, this is the default if --batch is specified alone --batch short produce only one line with the vulnerabilities separated by spaces --batch json produce JSON output formatted for Puppet, Ansible, Chef... --batch nrpe produce machine readable output formatted for NRPE --batch prometheus produce output for consumption by prometheus-node-exporter --variant VARIANT specify which variant you'd like to check, by default all variants are checked. can be used multiple times (e.g. --variant 3a --variant l1tf) for a list of supported VARIANT parameters, use --variant help --cve CVE specify which CVE you'd like to check, by default all supported CVEs are checked can be used multiple times (e.g. --cve CVE-2017-5753 --cve CVE-2020-0543) --hw-only only check for CPU information, don't check for any variant --no-hw skip CPU information and checks, if you're inspecting a kernel not to be run on this host --vmm [auto,yes,no] override the detection of the presence of a hypervisor, default: auto --no-intel-db don't use the builtin Intel DB of affected processors --allow-msr-write allow probing for write-only MSRs, this might produce kernel logs or be blocked by your system --cpu [#,all] interact with CPUID and MSR of CPU core number #, or all (default: CPU core 0) --update-fwdb update our local copy of the CPU microcodes versions database (using the awesome MCExtractor project and the Intel firmwares GitHub repository) --update-builtin-fwdb same as --update-fwdb but update builtin DB inside the script itself --dump-mock-data used to mimick a CPU on an other system, mainly used to help debugging this script Return codes: 0 (not vulnerable), 2 (vulnerable), 3 (unknown), 255 (error) IMPORTANT: A false sense of security is worse than no security at all. Please use the --disclaimer option to understand exactly what this script does.
