Title:
Fix XTS encryption with FIPS enabled kernels
Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in cryptsetup source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Status in cryptsetup source package in Zesty:
Triaged
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
Impact: The kernel crypto API rejects weak XTS keys in FIPS mode and
the current version of cryptsetup in xenial do some tests with a
zeroed key to check cipher availability in the kernel. These two
behaviors combined make impossible to use disk encryption with XTS
while using a kernel in FIPS mode.
Fix: apply the following fix to cryptsetup:
https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/commit/3c2135b36bbc52d052e4ced7c94dc4981eb07a53
Testcase: Try to setup disk encryption with XTS while the kernel is in
FIPS mode.
N.B.: This is not yet fixed in artful so cannot be released.
