Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 197604] genprotimg: remove DigiCert root CA pinning
From: Marc Hartmayer <mhartmay@linux.ibm.com>
Description: genprotimg/check_hostkeydoc: cert. verification is too strict
Symptom: Verification failures will occur for newer host key documents
Problem: The certificate verification of check_hostkeydoc is too strict
and doesn't match the checking performed by genprotimg. This
applies to the OU field in the issuer DN of the host key
document. As a consequence verification failures will occur for
host key documents issued for hardware generations newer than
IBM z15.
DigiCert is the CA issuing the signing certificate for Secure
Execution host key documents. This certificate is used for the
verification of the host key document validity. Recently,
DigiCert has changed the root CA certificate used for issuance
of the signing certificates. As genprotimg is checking the CA
serial, the verification of the chain of trust will fail. As a
workaround, it is possible to disable certificate verification,
but this is not recommended because it makes it easier to
provide a fake host key document. Since the previously issued
host key documents are expiring in April 2022, it is necessary
to fix genprotimg to accept the newly issued host key
documents.
Solution: Relax the certificate verification
Reproduction: Use a new host key document

Upstream-Description:
genprotimg: remove DigiCert root CA pinning
Remove the DigiCert root CA pinning. The root CA used for the chain of trust can
change in the future therefore let's remove this check. If someone wants to
enforce the usage of a specific root CA it can be selected by the genprotimg
command line option `--root-ca $CA`. Make it transparent to the user which root
CA is actually being used by printing the subject name of the root CA to stdout
in verbose mode.
