The LUKS issue was all about getting a root shell as opposed to being able to defeat LUKS or get the keys or decrypt the data. I know this was a bit misreported in the press.
A bigger issue is if /boot is not encrypted. And with modern GRUB there is no need for it not to be. Someone could then use this shell to put a keylogger in /boot process then they could use this vulnerability to do some damage. But the same is true from booting from removable custom media to access the encrypted partitions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
