Here is my test setup: Kernel built with two keys compiled into the builtin_trusted_keys keyring Generated a tbs cert from one of the keys and signed it with the other key As root, added the tbs cert hash to the blacklist keyring Verified the tbs hash is in the blacklist keyring Enabled lockdown to enforce kernel module signature checking Signed a kernel module with the key I just blacklisted Load the kernel module I’m seeing the kernel module load, I would expect this to fail, since the key is now blacklisted.

This is the expected behavior and the way the blacklist keyring is currently used, as explained in the commit message: "This enables to invalidate new certificates, either from being loaded in a keyring, or from being trusted in a PKCS#7 certificate chain." If you want a (trusted root) key to be untrusted, you need to remove it from the keyring, which is not allowed for the builtin trusted keyring.

Is there a non technical reason why this can not be changed to also apply to builtin trusted keys? If a user had the same tbs cert hash in their dbx and soon mokx, the hash would show up in the .blacklist keyring and invalidate any key in the builtin_trusted_keys keyring. After adding the same hash with this series, it shows up in the .blacklist_keyring but the value is ignored by operations using the builtin_trusted_keys keyring. It just seems incomplete to me, or did I miss an earlier discussion on this topic?

For builtin and dbx/mokx hashes, they are loaded in the blacklist keyring before builtin certificates are loaded in the trusted builtin keyring, which can reject them if there is a match. I think that being able to load a blocked hash at run time should not change the semantic of the blacklist keyring, which is to block the loading of certificates. If someone wants to change this semantic, I think it should be configurable. Indeed, we should keep in mind the temporal dimension and the hierarchy of trust: dbx/mokx -> builtin hashes -> run time hashes.
