4.4 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
Summary
It was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.11-rc8 that root can gain direct access to an internal keyring, such as '.dns_resolver' in RHEL-7 or '.builtin_trusted_keys' upstream, by joining it as its session keyring. This allows root to bypass module signature verification by adding a new public key of its own devising to the keyring.
