This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Rpm doesn't know anything about any "FIPS mode", never has. Teaching it about FIPS, all affected areas, would be a new feature and it's a wee bit late for those. If using md5 to sign packages shouldn't be allowed, then presumably rpm should refuse to install packages with md5-only file and/or header digests etc etc etc - I don't know where it would end. NAK. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
Description of problem: when machine is in fips mode, and gpg.conf (or .rpmmacros) is configured to create md5 digest, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always in fips mode Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable fips mode and reboot 2. configure .gnupg/gpg.conf or /rpmmacros to use MD5 signature 3. sign some rpm 4. check results Actual results: $ rpm -v --addsign mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm Enter pass phrase: Pass phrase is good. mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm: $ rpm -v --checksig mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 8a2cffe0: OK Header SHA1 digest: OK (2a30e68848f8aa15028e160164ce309c26b6f735) MD5 digest: OK (7b86a7c836b21679133b77ff7cdce95b) V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 8a2cffe0: OK Expected results: $ rpm -v --addsign mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm Enter pass phrase: Pass phrase is good. mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm: machine is running in fips mode - MD5 is not allowed, using SHA1 instead! $ rpm -v --checksig mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm mod_gnutls-0.5.6-1.md5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 8a2cffe0: OK Header SHA1 digest: OK (2a30e68848f8aa15028e160164ce309c26b6f735) MD5 digest: OK (7b86a7c836b21679133b77ff7cdce95b) V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 8a2cffe0: OK Additional info:
