    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    efi: Do not import certificates from UEFI Secure Boot for T2 Macs

    On Apple T2 Macs, when Linux attempts to read the db and dbx efi variables
    at early boot to load UEFI Secure Boot certificates, a page fault occurs
    in Apple firmware code and EFI runtime services are disabled with the
    following logs:

    So we avoid reading these UEFI variables and thus prevent the crash.
