Linux EFI Tools Supports Manipulating UEFI Signatures
Posted by Michael Larabel on March 01, 2013
Version 1.4 of the Linux efitools package is now available and it supports reading and manipulating the UEFI signatures database.
From the EFI Tools package in the Linux user-space, it's now possible to read and manipulate the UEFI signatures database via the new efi-readvar and efi-updatevar commands. Aside from needing efitools 1.4, the EFIVARFS file-system is also needed, which was only introduced in the Linux 3.8 kernel.
More details on efitools 1.4 can be found in this blog post by James Bottomley.
