[Bug 1596238] [NEW] NTFS Module not signed

[Shawn Rose]

Public bug reported:

Hi, as per the response on question #295452
(https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2-signed/+question/295452),
I would like to have the NTFS module added to the signed binary.

In addition, it may be worth looking into testing to see if the Grub2
module signing subsystem can be used to sign the modules themselves,
instead of having one monolithic signed module that only supports a
subset of modules for Secure Boot.

The bug reporting guidelines 1 and 2 don't really apply in this specific
case, as it doesn't matter which version is used.

3) On a secure-boot enabled machine, while in the grub2 console, I run
'insmod ntfs' expecting it to load the ntfs module.

4) Secure boot refuses to load the module as it is not signed.

Referencing previous bug #1104627
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1104627) as well.
