AI-suggested
Red Hat has released an official security update for Keylime in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 that addresses this vulnerability by replacing the hardcoded TPM quote nonce with a cryptographically random value. Users should apply the update keylime-7.14.1-5.el10_2.1 or later as provided in Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2026:28582. Refer to https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 for detailed update instructions. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A flaw was found in Keylime. An attacker with root access on an enrolled monitored machine, where the Keylime agent runs, can exploit a vulnerability in the Keylime verifier. The verifier uses a hardcoded challenge nonce for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) quote attestation instead of a cryptographically random value. This allows the attacker to stockpile valid TPM quotes and replay them to evade detection after compromising the system. This issue affects only the push model deployment.
