Shim Shocker! New 15.8 Update Seals Six Security Gaps, Thwarts Critical Boot Hijack Hazard
Beware, Boot Loader Buffs! Shim’s latest release patches a pants-wetting flaw (CVE-2023-40547) that could’ve let hackers shimmy into your system’s Secure Boot. Thanks, Bill Demirkapi, for not letting our boots get booted by baddies! #SecureBootScare
Hot Take:
It seems like shim's got more holes than my grandma's knitting project, and just like her sweaters, hackers could slip through them with ease! But fret not, the cyber seamstresses over at shim HQ have patched things up with version 15.8. So, update your bootloaders, folks, or you might just get booted in ways you never imagined!
