✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://images.redhat.com/ Workaround: Applications using efi_loadopt_is_valid() should validate the size of the input buffer before passing it to libefiboot. As a library-level fix, the device path iterator should enforce a minimum node Length of 4 before recursing: if (dp->length < 4) return -1;
