  • The Future of AlmaLinux
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jul 2023
    Alma used CloudLinux's secure boot key (among other CloudLinux infrastructure / resources) for their first few releases.

    Rocky Linux didn't have secure boot out the gate because we built everything from scratch, which included going through the long process of getting our own secure boot key approved / signed by Microsoft. See https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/194 (Alma didn't get their own until https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/235)

    AlmaLinux uses their own secure boot certificate, as noted in their last shim-review: https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/235

    In my opinion, this news is exaggerated.

    The 3rd party UEFI CA key is implemented by the Shim, which is an attack vector. To be certified by default for the shim, the workflow is a github issue [0]. This is not necessarily bad, but a vector for social-engineering and more.

    If an attacker is signed by the shim, he can execute trusted code on most machines without problems.

    IMO it is better to leave this choice to the user to take this risk and enable the shim. Who installs linux should make this choice consciously

  • Where is Secure Boot and the community updates?
    1 project | /r/RockyLinux | 15 Sep 2021
    Most if not everything else is in place for when this process is complete, but this single step (https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/194) is a blocker on it.
  • AlmaLinux and SecureBoot
    1 project | /r/AlmaLinux | 15 Apr 2021
    Hey. Secureboot should be ready soon. You can follow along at home here: https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/152. We are basically just waiting for the shim to be signed.

    And it seems that since well over two months, Microsoft is just busy changing their review process and not signing anything at all.
