    Debian Bug     : 983269 983270

    Multiple vulnerabilties were discovered in u-boot, a boot loader for
    embedded systems.

    CVE-2021-27097

       Strange modifications of the FIT can introduce security risks.

    CVE-2021-27138

       Using unit addresses in a FIT can pose security risks.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    2021.01+dfsg-5+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your u-boot packages.

    For the detailed security status of u-boot please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/u-boot
