Title
Secure Boot Certificate Expiration Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
Summary
Windows Secure Boot stores Microsoft certificates in the UEFI KEK and DB. These original certificates are approaching expiration, and devices containing affected certificate versions must update them to maintain Secure Boot functionality and avoid compromising security by losing security fixes related to Windows boot manager or Secure Boot.
The operating system’s certificate update protection mechanism relies on firmware components that might contain defects, which can cause certificate trust updates to fail or behave unpredictably. This leads to potential disruption of the Secure Boot trust chain and requires careful validation and deployment to restore intended security guarantees.
Certificate Authority (CA)

Purpose
Expiration Date

Mitigation
Phase: Requirements
Description:
- Specify requirements that each component should be updateable, including ROM, firmware, etc.
Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- Design the product to allow for updating of its components. Include the external infrastructure that might be necessary to support updates, such as distribution servers.
Mitigation
Phases: Architecture and Design, Implementation
Description:
- With hardware, support patches that can be programmed in-field or during manufacturing through hardware fuses. This feature can be used for limited patching of devices after shipping, or for the next batch of silicon devices manufactured, without changing the full device ROM.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Implement the necessary functionality to allow each component to be updated.
