Date Reported:

08 Feb 2023

Affected Packages:

shim

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

No other external database security references currently available.

More information:

This release fixes various issues in shim bootloader and updates it to a supported version. Older versions of the shim may eventually be blocked by Secure Boot, so it is strongly advised for Secure Boot enabled systems to upgrade to this newer version to keep the system bootable.

Additionally, this update blocks old, insecure versions of GRUB. Thus an update to a signed GRUB 2.06-3~deb10u3 package as released in DLA 3190-2 must be in place prior to updating the shim packages.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 15.7-1~deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your shim packages.
