Description
Emergency mode is intended as a system recovery
method, providing a single user root access to the system
during a failed boot sequence.
By default, Emergency mode is protected by requiring a password and is set
in /usr/lib/systemd/system/emergency.service.
Rationale
This prevents attackers with physical access from trivially bypassing security
on the machine and gaining root access. Such accesses are further prevented
by configuring the bootloader password.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if [ ! -f /.dockerenv ] && [ ! -f /run/.containerenv ]; then
service_file="/usr/lib/systemd/system/emergency.service"
sulogin='/bin/sh -c "/sbin/sulogin; /usr/bin/systemctl --fail --no-block default"'
if grep "^ExecStart=.*" "$service_file" ; then
sed -i "s%^ExecStart=.*%ExecStart=-$sulogin%" "$service_file"
else
echo "ExecStart=-$sulogin" >> "$service_file"
fi
else
>&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi
Ansible playbook
The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
- name: Require emergency mode password
lineinfile:
create: true
dest: /usr/lib/systemd/system/emergency.service
regexp: ^#?ExecStart=
line: ExecStart=-/bin/sh -c "/sbin/sulogin; /usr/bin/systemctl --fail --no-block
default"
