Description Jan Pazdziora 2021-10-29 11:23:44 UTC
Description of problem:

Attempt to verify signature on grubx64.efi with the fedora-ca-20200709.cer certificate built into shim fails. The likely reason is CA:TRUE missing on that CA certificate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

sbsigntools-0.9.4-4.fc34.x86_64
grub2-efi-x64-2.06-6.fc34b.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download fedora-ca-20200709.cer from https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/shim-unsigned-x64/tree/rawhide:
   curl -O https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/shim-unsigned-x64/blob/rawhide/f/fedora-ca-20200709.cer
2. Convert it to PEM as that's what sbverify seems to like:
   openssl x509 -inform DER -in fedora-ca-20200709.cer -out fedora-ca-20200709.pem
3. Verify signature on grubx64.efi:
   sbverify -v /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubx64.efi --cert fedora-ca-20200709.pem

Actual results:

Signature verification failed

Expected results:

Signature verification OK

Additional info:

Filing against shim because I assume any change needs to be initiated from here.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 35 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-12-13.

Fedora Linux 35 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.
