As someone who relies on keys.fedoraproject.org quite a lot, I'm sad
that we have to decommission it...

If we ever brought it back, we'd probably want to configure the server
to not be part of the SKS server ring...

Having read this, +1 to decommission this service. This is quite saddening
though :(

I'd to hear nb's opinion on this but I think we may want to announce our intent
and turn it off somewhat soon.

+1 to turning it off as well.

I hope it can be fixed or an alternative created, but best to not have
Fedora users experience any issues due to the issue.

Hello Kevin,
I agree with you about shutting down `keys.fedoraproject.org`. Seems SKS
(the software used by the keyservers)
will be not safe to use until someone (smart and who code OCaml and who
understands the algorithm) can address this problem.

As it says here:
https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d6955275f#mitigations
"... At present I (speaking only for myself) do not believe the global
keyserver network is salvageable. High-risk users should stop using the
keyserver network immediately"

So +1 to turn it off.
Best,
Emiliano.

Retire keys.fedoraproject.org?

2019-07-02 Thread Kevin Fenzi
Hey everyone,

As some of you may have read:

https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d6955275f
and
https://dkg.fifthhorseman.net/blog/openpgp-certificate-flooding.html

or other media reports about vulnerabilities of the current gpg
keyserver software/network/policy.

TLDR: Someone can (and has been) flooding sks keyservers with poisoned
certs. Users that download from sks keyservers may well find gpg just
stops working, hangs, or breaks in terrible ways. The SKS software is no
longer maintained and because the policy is 'never delete anything'
there's likely no way to mitigate the attacks.

I've cc'ed nb here for his take on things, but as I read it, it might be
best to just retire the keys.fedoraproject.org service at least for now
to avoid breaking users or telling them we have a service they should
trust when they really... should not.

Thoughts?
