From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Imho it will be much easier to replace blobs with verifiably correct blobs or add the source to build them than to retroactively find the original builds from whence they came.
Searching for some of those binaries looks like it would require comparing the hash against a large set of candidates which would need to first be unpacked from releases (fedora mostly???) and hashed unless the hashes already exist somewhere.
