From d08b39bb3dffca258bf28900905b05e5ffdc255e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 21:03:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fsverity: skip PKCS#7 parser when keyring is empty commit 919dc320956ea353a7fb2d84265195ad5ef525ac upstream. If an fsverity builtin signature is given for a file but the ".fs-verity" keyring is empty, there's no real reason to run the PKCS#7 parser. Skip this to avoid the PKCS#7 attack surface when builtin signature support is configured into the kernel but is not being used. This is a hardening improvement, not a fix per se, but I've added Fixes and Cc stable to get it out to more users.
