Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ima: use the system blacklist in lieu of the IMA blacklist keyring
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 12:31:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106173149.707244-1-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.
