INSYDE-SA-2024021 is CVE-2024-7344
This is not a vulnerability in Insyde BIOS, it's a third party application that's signed by the Microsoft UEFI keys.
Because we include the Microsoft public keys to be able to boot Windows, we are vulnerable to that.

The mitigation is simple, in future updates we will include dbx entries to blacklist this third party application.

But before that, it's also really easy to mitigate:

• For Windows users the 2025 January 14 Update includes a DBX Update
• For Linux users DBX can be updated using LVFS and an updated one is already available: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.microsoft.dbx.x64.firmware

I split it out into here: #66
