VectorAV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 5.8.13
Description The issue is related to incorrect cryptographic signature verification in the Linux kernel. This could allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The problem affects the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database protection mechanism, specifically in certs/blacklist.c and certs/system keyring.c.
Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.8.13, update to version 5.8.13 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive areas of the system to minimize the risk of exploitation.
