[opensuse-announce] Upcoming update for shim requires confirmation on reboot
by Johannes Segitz 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hello, we will release a security update for shim next week that fixes three security issues, tracked in bnc#889332: - OOB read access when parsing DHCPv6 packets (remote DoS) (CVE-2014-3675). - Heap overflow when parsing IPv6 addresses provided by tftp:// DHCPv6 boot option (RCE) (CVE-2014-3676). - Memory corruption when processing user provided MOK lists (CVE-2014-3677). Because of those issues we update shim to version 0.7.318.81ee561d. This version includes a patch that requires the user to confirm a dialog once on the first boot after the update is installed. You will need to be able to confirm this dialog, which appears before the bootloader, or your system will not boot. This only affects users that are still on openSUSE 13.1 and use a secure boot setup. You can check with 'bootctl' if you're using a secure boot configuration if you're not sure.
