USBGuard enables blocking USB devices while the screen is locked as a Technology Preview
With the
USBGuard framework, you can influence how an already running usbguard-daemon instance handles newly inserted USB devices by setting the value of the InsertedDevicePolicy runtime parameter. This functionality is provided as a Technology Preview, and the default choice is to apply the policy rules to figure out whether to authorize the device or not.
See the
Blocking USB devices while the screen is locked Knowledge Base article: https://access.redhat.com/articles/3230621 (BZ#1480100)
pk12util can now import certificates signed with RSA-PSS
The
pk12util tool now provides importing a certificate signed with the RSA-PSS algorithm as a Technology Preview.
Note that if the corresponding private key is imported and has the
PrivateKeyInfo.privateKeyAlgorithm field that restricts the signing algorithm to RSA-PSS, it is ignored when importing the key to a browser. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413596 for more information. (BZ#1431210)
Support for certificates signed with RSA-PSS in certutil has been improved
Support for certificates signed with the
RSA-PSS algorithm in the certutil tool has been improved. Notable enhancements and fixes include:
- The
--pssoption is now documented. - The
PKCS#1 v1.5algorithm is no longer used for self-signed signatures when a certificate is restricted to useRSA-PSS. - Empty
RSA-PSSparameters in thesubjectPublicKeyInfofield are no longer printed as invalid when listing certificates. - The
--pss-signoption for creating regular RSA certificates signed with theRSA-PSSalgorithm has been added.
Support for certificates signed with
RSA-PSS in certutil is provided as a Technology Preview. (BZ#1425514)
NSS is now able to verify RSA-PSS signatures on certificates
With the new version of the nss package, the
Network Security Services (NSS) libraries now provide verifying RSA-PSS signatures on certificates as a Technology Preview. Prior to this update, clients using NSS as the SSL backend were not able to establish a TLS connection to a server that offered only certificates signed with the RSA-PSS algorithm.
Note that the functionality has the following limitations:
- The algorithm policy settings in the
/etc/pki/nss-legacy/rhel7.configfile do not apply to the hash algorithms used inRSA-PSSsignatures. RSA-PSSparameters restrictions between certificate chains are ignored and only a single certificate is taken into account. (BZ#1432142)
SECCOMP can be now enabled in libreswan
As a Technology Preview, the
seccomp=enabled|tolerant|disabled option has been added to the ipsec.conf configuration file, which makes it possible to use the Secure Computing mode (SECCOMP). This improves the syscall security by whitelisting all the system calls that Libreswan is allowed to execute. For more information, see the ipsec.conf(5) man page. (BZ#1375750)
