CVE-2025-1057: Keylime registrar is vulnerable to Denial-of-Service attack when updated to version 7.12.0
(updated )
The Keylime registrar implemented more strict type checking on version 7.12.0. As a result, when updated to version 7.12.0, the registrar will not accept the format of the data previously stored in the database by versions >= 7.8.0, raising an exception.
This makes the Keylime registrar vulnerable to a Denial-of-Service attack in an update scenario, as an attacker could populate the registrar database by creating multiple valid agent registrations with different UUIDs while the version is still < 7.12.0. Then, when the Keylime registrar is updated to the 7.12.0 version, any query to the database matching any of the entries populated by the attacker will result in failure.
