fix(security): distrust emSign ECC Root CA G3 and Comodo AAA in the LCM bricks images by alexole01 · Pull Request #2116 · gooddata/gooddata-ruby

JIRA:GRIF-1214
Part of SECOPS-1503 / GRIF-1214 (https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/): the roots emSign ECC Root CA - G3 and Comodo AAA Certificate Services must stop being trusted.

Change

Both deployed images (lcm-bricks from DockerfileOldImage, lcm-bricks-nextversion from Dockerfile) run JRuby on the CentOS Stream 9 system OpenJDK. On el9 the JVM cacerts and the OpenSSL bundle used by jruby-openssl are both generated from the system trust store by update-ca-trust, so the fix has to happen in the system trust store. A JDK blocked.certs entry, as used in the Temurin-based images (gooddata/gdc-docker-images#3365 and the service PRs), is not needed here.

In both Dockerfiles:

COPY ci/ca-blocklist/ /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blocklist/ with the emSign ECC Root CA - G3 certificate (SHA-256 86A1ECBA…BE6B), then update-ca-trust in the existing yum step. This is the manual method from the advisory and removes the root from the extracted bundles and the Java cacerts regardless of the ca-certificates version.
yum update -y ca-certificates as well, so the fixed package (2026.2.92_v9.0.319-91.3.el9) is picked up once the base image's repositories offer it. The first CI run showed they do not yet ("Nothing to do"), which is why the blocklist is needed.
A build-time assertion that emSign ECC Root CA - G3 is gone from /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem, so a green build proves the fix.

AAA Certificate Services is not present in the el9 trust store, so there is nothing to blocklist for it.

VERSION bumped to 3.7.110: the images are only built when VERSION changes (.github/service-filters.yml), same as the 3.7.109 release in #2115 today, so the bump is what gets the fix built and rolled out.

Not changed: Dockerfile.jruby and Dockerfile.ruby (local docker-compose and test images, not deployed).

Verification

On a Fedora 44 container with the old ca-certificates still trusting emSign G3: after the blocklist plus update-ca-trust, the root is gone from the bundle and keytool -list -cacerts shows neither root.
The full RUN sequence (update, update-ca-trust, assertion) passes in a container.
hadolint: no new findings on either Dockerfile.
fossa-native fails with the same single pre-existing license issue on every recent PR in this repo (config(lcm): Bump up LCM version to prepare release for Fedora image #2111 to fix(lcm): Upgrade Redshift JDBC driver to redshift-jdbc42 2.2.9 #2115), unrelated to this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Security
- The container’s trusted certificate store excludes the emSign ECC Root CA - G3 certificate.
- Container builds verify that this certificate is absent from the generated TLS bundle.
Updates
- Updated the application version to 3.7.112.

…CM bricks images Part of SECOPS-1503: the private keys of eight eMudhra (emSign) intermediate CAs are trivially recoverable. Their roots, "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" and Comodo "AAA Certificate Services", have to stop being trusted. Both LCM bricks images run JRuby on the CentOS Stream 9 system OpenJDK. On el9 the JVM cacerts and the OpenSSL bundle that jruby-openssl reads are both generated from the system trust store, so the fix is the fixed ca-certificates package (2026.2.92_v9.0.319-91.3.el9), which CentOS Stream 9 already ships. Upgrade it at build time in the existing yum step, so the images stop trusting the roots now instead of waiting for a new gdc-java-11-jre-centos9 tag, and assert during the build that emSign G3 is gone from the extracted bundle. A JDK blocked.certs entry (used in the Temurin-based images) is not needed here: with the roots removed from the system store they are absent from cacerts as well, and jruby-openssl bypasses the JDK blocklist anyway. Not changed: Dockerfile.jruby and Dockerfile.ruby (local compose and test images, not deployed). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Walkthrough

Both Dockerfiles add the CA blocklist, refresh the system trust store, and fail the build if the extracted TLS bundle contains the emSign ECC Root CA - G3 entry. The VERSION value changes from 3.7.111 to 3.7.112.

Changes: Certificate bundle checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update and check certificate bundles `Dockerfile`, `DockerfileOldImage`, `VERSION`	Both Dockerfiles add the CA blocklist, update `ca-certificates`, refresh the trust store, and check the extracted bundle for the emSign certificate entry. The `VERSION` value changes to `3.7.112`.

Check both distrust targets.

This assertion checks only emSign ECC Root CA - G3. It does not verify that Comodo AAA Certificate Services is absent. A future package or base-image change could pass the build while retaining the second root. Check both certificates by subject or fingerprint in both Dockerfiles. (github.com)

The lcm-bricks images are only built when VERSION changes (.github/service-filters.yml), so the ca-certificates upgrade in the Dockerfiles needs a new version to be built and rolled out. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The build-time assertion caught that the base image's repositories do not offer the fixed ca-certificates yet ("Nothing to do"), so the images still trusted the root. Add the root certificate to /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blocklist and run update-ca-trust, the manual method from the advisory: it removes the root from the extracted bundles and from the Java cacerts regardless of the package version. The ca-certificates upgrade stays in place for when the repositories catch up. AAA Certificate Services is not in the el9 trust store, so there is nothing to blocklist for it.

Resolve conflicts from the Fedora base-image move: keep master's package list (gawk, bzip2) and libdnf5 cleanup, keep the ca-trust blocklist steps, bump VERSION to 3.7.112 past master's 3.7.111. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
