[PATCH v3 1/3] efi_loader: don't load signature database from file

Heinrich Schuchardt heinrich.schuchardt at canonical.com
Thu Sep 2 11:35:29 CEST 2021


The UEFI specification requires that the signature database may only be
stored in tamper-resistant storage. So these variable may not be read
from an unsigned file.
