Microsoft security update that blocks Black Lotus (and, incidentally, also blocks a *lot* of existing Windows boot media and recovery images - you do want to be careful in applying this, but I'm still kind of amazed this ended up being politically viable!) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5025885-how-to-manage-the-windows-boot-manager-revocations-for-secure-boot-changes-associated-with-cve-2023-24932-41a975df-beb2-40c1-99a3-b3ff139f832d

@mjg59 same. i'd have thought i'd have been told in advance about this, too (i wasn't). and there's got to be some boot applications they missed. i'll check later (not at home right now)

@Rairii dbx revocation is purely of old bootloaders, for any that support policy management for boot apps they've just added a policy that prohibits loading *all* old boot apps

@mjg59 I'm still not sure when to push the LVFS updates. We do check all the stuff in the ESP to make sure that nothing's going to get bricked, but that doesn't count recovery images...

@hughsie Honestly I think lining up with the Microsoft schedule of 2024 makes sense, but doing something to enable manual updates for people who have this sort of thing as part of their threat model

@mjg59 @hughsie Right, but what happens if there are new revocations appended before 2024?The list would need to be manually managed and not the one as-is from uefi.org?

@mjg59 it is still an incomplete patch, unfortunately https://mastodon.social/@never_released/110341145803408736

@mjg59 I'm glad they finally did it - way too late, but better late then never. I lost hope they'd ever do it.

@mjg59 In adfition:The “Create a recovery drive” functionality is not supported in the updates released on or after May 9, 2023, and cannot be used to restore devices with revocation enabled. We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
