Summary
Security update for pcr-oracle, shim
Notes
Title of the patch
Security update for pcr-oracle, shim
Description of the patch
This update for pcr-oracle, shim fixes the following issues:
pcr-oracle:
- predict SbatLevelRT for the next boot (bsc#1230316)
shim was updated to version 15.8:
- Update shim-install to use the 'removable' way for encrypted
SL-Micro images (bsc#1230316)
* Always use the removable way for SL-Micro
* Limit the removable option to encrypted SL-Micro
Security issues fixed:
- mok: fix LogError() invocation (bsc#1215099,CVE-2023-40546)
- avoid incorrectly trusting HTTP headers (bsc#1215098,CVE-2023-40547)
- Fix integer overflow on SBAT section size on 32-bit system (bsc#1215100,CVE-2023-40548)
- Authenticode: verify that the signature header is in bounds (bsc#1215101,CVE-2023-40549)
- pe: Fix an out-of-bound read in verify_buffer_sbat() (bsc#1215102,CVE-2023-40550)
- pe-relocate: Fix bounds check for MZ binaries (bsc#1215103,CVE-2023-40551)

Summary
A buffer overflow was found in Shim in the 32-bit system. The overflow happens due to an addition operation involving a user-controlled value parsed from the PE binary being used by Shim. This value is further used for memory allocation operations, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. This flaw causes memory corruption and can lead to a crash or data integrity issues during the boot phase.

Summary
A flaw was found in Shim when an error happened while creating a new ESL variable.

- CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds Write
Summary
A remote code execution vulnerability was found in Shim. The Shim boot support trusts attacker-controlled values when parsing an HTTP response. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a specific malicious HTTP request, leading to a completely controlled out-of-bounds write primitive and complete system compromise. This flaw is only exploitable during the early boot phase, an attacker needs to perform a Man-in-the-Middle or compromise the boot server to be able to exploit this vulnerability successfully.
