Bootkitty: Linux Users Are Targeted
Security researchers have discovered the first UEFI bootkit designed for Linux systems, dubbed Bootkitty by its creators. This discovery is the first evidence that UEFI boot kits are no longer limited to Windows systems.
Security researchers have discovered the first UEFI bootkit designed for Linux systems, dubbed Bootkitty by its creators. This discovery is the first evidence that UEFI boot kits are no longer limited to Windows systems.
An abbreviation for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. UEFIis known as motherboard control software. UEFI is software that is activated when the computer starts, before the operating system starts.
If cybercriminals change the UEFI code, they can use it to deliver malware to the victim’s system. Bootkit It is defined as a type of malware designed to gain low-level control over the computer without the owner’s knowledge.
After a previously unknown application named bootkit.efi was uploaded to VirusTotal in November 2024, Security researchers discovered that it was a UEFI application.
After in-depth analysis, it confirmed that it is a UEFI boot kit called Bootkitty by its creators; surprisingly, it is the first UEFI boot kit to target Linux specifically several Ubuntu versions. The bootkit contains many artifacts that suggest this is more of a proof of concept than the work of a threat actor.
Bootkitty is signed with a self-signed certificate, so it cannot run on systems that have UEFI secure boot enabled by default. But since Bootkitty patches in memory the necessary functions responsible for integrity verification UEFI It is designed to seamlessly boot the Linux kernel whether secure boot is enabled or not.
Bootkit is an advanced rootkit that can replace the boot loader and patch the kernel before it is executed. Bootkitty gives the attacker full control over the affected machine as it hijacks the machine’s boot process and runs the malware before the operating system even starts.
During analysis he discovered a possibly related unsigned kernel module that he called BCDropper, with signs suggesting that it may have been developed by the same authors as Bootkitty. It distributes an ELF binary responsible for loading another kernel module, unknown at the time of analysis.
