Multiple security vulnerabilities have been fixed in EDK II, a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment. Remotely exploitable buffer overflows and out-of-bounds or infinite loop vulnerabilities may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2020.11-2+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your edk2 packages.

For the detailed security status of edk2 please refer to its security tracker page at:
