    CERT/CC advises DBX updates to block Secure Boot bypass on vulnerable UEFI applications

    Mitigation Patch Update

    CERT/CC advises system administrators to apply updates to the UEFI Forbidden Signature Database (DBX) to revoke trust in affected vendor-signed binaries from Acer, AMD, ASUS, ECS, Getac, GIGABYTE, Toshiba, and Uniwill. The guidance is intended to prevent a BYOVD attack path that could let an attacker with administrative privileges or physical access execute arbitrary code during the early pre-boot phase before the operating system initializes.
