NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream shim-signed package and not the shim-signed package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:23.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
