Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] ima: use the system blacklist in lieu of the IMA blacklist keyring
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 07:12:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105121227.4089147-1-zohar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

The experimental IMA blacklist keyring accepts any certificate signed by
a key on the builtin trusted keyring.  The certificate being revoked was
created by such a key, so root can add it to the blacklist.  Nothing
differentiates the authority to sign from the authority to revoke.

The system blacklist already supports signed updates
(CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_AUTH_UPDATE), but cannot revoke a key that is
already loaded on a keyring.

This series defines "skid:<hex>" entries and adds is_key_blacklisted()
to the system blacklist, has IMA's asymmetric_verify() call it on the
key it finds, and removes the IMA blacklist keyring.

 1/3 certs: blacklist: define skid: entries and add is_key_blacklisted()
 2/3 integrity: use is_key_blacklisted() in asymmetric_verify()
 3/3 ima: remove the experimental IMA blacklist keyring

Revocations for keys on the IMA keyring are now "skid:<hex>" entries in
the system blacklist.
