Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions shim (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to the handle image() function in the UEFI bootloader shim, which is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing EFI files that take into account the SizeOfRawData field. This can allow an attacker to perform out-of-bound writes into memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
