Require modules to be validly signed
Medium Severity
Reject unsigned modules or signed modules with an unknown key. The configuration that was used to build kernel is available at
/boot/config-*
. To check the configuration value for
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE
, run the following command:
grep CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE /boot/config-*
For each kernel installed, a line with value "y" should be returned.
