Ideally signing and enrolling in the UEFI the key to a signed Unified Kernel Image (UKI) makes more sense: only having SecureBoot verifying the kernel is okay'ish (and it does work: I tried modifying a single bit from my kernel and the UEFI refused to boot it) but it's not that great if the attacker can still modify the initrd etc.




Indeed, that is what the parent is referring to when they say this:

(It's much more useful to have a link to it, so thank you!)
