Lenovo Firmware Support
Posted:adminA recent firmware update (version 2.05, dated 9/12/2012) for the Lenovo T430 (and T430i) provided support for (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) Secure Boot. The previous firmware version for the Lenovo T430 was 1.20 dated 8/7/2012. A similar firmware update is available for the Lenovo T530 and T530i. This support was added in order to enable the soon-to-be-released Windows 8 to run on these laptops. As you all probably know by now, devices conforming to the (previously known as the Windows Logo Program), and running a client version of Windows 8, must ship with Secure Boot enabled by default. The basic idea behind Secure Boot is to enhance protection against malware by preventing PCs from loading unauthorized binaries when booting.

Secure Boot requires devices to use UEFI instead of the traditional BIOS. This was the only UEFI related screen on the T430 prior to the firmware update: Here are screenshots of the additional UEFI security screens and menu options available on the T430 after the firmware update: Apologies for the poor photography! With this firmware version, if you choose to enable OS Optimized Defaults, Secure Boot and Secure Rollback Prevention are enabled, CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is disabled, UEFI/Legacy Boot Priority is not displayed and only UEFI booting is supported.

When you upgrade to this firmware version, Secure Boot is not enabled by default, you have to specifically enable Secure Boot and restore the Factory Keys. I am not sure what Lenovo means by Factory Keys. I assume that this means the PK, KEK and db and maybe dbx NVRAM variables are appropriately set.
I will have to investigate further. Interestingly, the Lenovo Update tool does not install this firmware update automatically. You have to download and install it yourself.
The release notes for this firmware upgrade also include memory map information for UEFI (E0000-FFFFF), graphics cards (C0000-CFFFF or C0000-CE1FF) and Ethernet NIC option ROM (D0000-D0FFF or CE200-CF1FF). I have not noticed that information in previous Lenovo BIOS upgrade release notes. See the release notes for more information. Here is a small UEFI utility for Lenovo firmware which will print out the current values of the SecureBoot and SetupMode NVRAM variables along with other useful information from the NVRAM.

Build Date: 09/12/12 Build Time: 13:13:11 SimpleBootFlag: 0 SecureBoot: 0 SetupMode: 1 By the way, Linus Torvalds doesn’t think Microsoft’s decision to require UEFI secure boot in Windows 8 is going to make any significant change to the security of their operating system.
“The real problem, I feel, is that clever hackers will bypass the whole key issue either by getting a key of their own (how many of those private keys have stayed really private again? Samsung 2g tool cracked software without z3x box usb driver. Oh, that’s right, pretty much none of them) or they’ll just take advantage of security bugs in signed software to bypass it without a key at all.” I tend to agree.
I like to boot Linux directly from the UEFI boot manager using the EFI STUB mechanism and dispense with GRUB altogether. With Secure Boot enabled, this is no longer possible at present without a shim layer. Hopefully this limitation will be overcome in the future.
