A flaw was found in the keylime attestation verifier, which fails to flag a device's submitted TPM quote as faulty when the quote's signature does not validate for some reason. Instead, it will only emit an error in the log without flagging the device as untrusted.

The keylime attestation verifier fails to flag a device's submitted TPM quote as faulty when the quote's signature does not validate for some reason. Instead, it will only emit an error in the log but not flag the device as being untrusted.

To exploit this bug, a non-privileged user would have to modify the keylime agent to create invalid quotes a could then use invalid measurement lists to hide the trust state of a system. He would then have to trick the administrator in using the user's modified keylime agent.
