Description Sergio Correia 2022-11-11 12:00:22 UTC

Description of problem:

The option require_ek_cert tells the tenant whether to require an EK certificate from the TPM, and is recommended to be used in production deployments.

When keylime is doing the initial identity quote and require_ek_cert is enabled, it will attempt to verify that the TPM device on the agent is genuine, based on its EK certificate, which will be validated against the trusted certificates present in the keylime TPM certificate store.

However, a few of the certificates -- namely a few issued by Nuvoton -- in the TPM certificate store are malformed x509 certificates, which will then cause an issue as they are attempted to be parsed. 

It's possible that during the EK validation, one of those certificates are read, which then causes the issue described here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
keylime <= 6.5.1
