Hello,

I noticed that Fedora Secure Boot CA on my system is expired. It has no effect on SecureBoot as it properly works. I would like to check if the certificate was updated, my system has been upgraded multiple times so likely it was enrolled during installation.

I would love to inform developers but I am unsure which package this CA file was distributed in. Anyone knows? Thanks.

The cert seems to be embedded in the shim package:

[root@nuc fedora]# rpm -ql shim-x64
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/fbx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/BOOTX64.CSV
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/mmx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/shim.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/shimx64.efi
/etc/dnf/protected.d/shim.conf

[root@nuc fedora]# rpm -q shim-x64
shim-x64-15.6-2.x86_64

[root@nuc fedora]# strings /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/shim.efi | grep "Fedora Secure Boot CA"
Fedora Secure Boot CA0
Fedora Secure Boot CA0

But in dist-git I only see the binary. The reason is apparently it needs to be signed by Microsoft key, but I wonder if there is a time to refresh that certificate. I am on Fedora 36 right now :slight_smile:

Yeah, feel free to file a bugzilla bug on shim for it. :slight_smile:
