9 security issues in bullseye high

There are 9 open security issues in bullseye.

3 important issues:

CVE-2025-2296: EDK2 contains a vulnerability in BIOS where an attacker may cause “ Improper Input Validation” by local access. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could alter control flow in unexpected ways, potentially allowing arbitrary command execution and impacting Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
CVE-2024-13176: Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow recovering the private key exists in the ECDSA signature computation. Impact summary: A timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations could allow recovering the private key by an attacker. However, measuring the timing would require either local access to the signing application or a very fast network connection with low latency. There is a timing signal of around 300 nanoseconds when the top word of the inverted ECDSA nonce value is zero. This can happen with significant probability only for some of the supported elliptic curves. In particular the NIST P-521 curve is affected. To be able to measure this leak, the attacker process must either be located in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency. For that reason the severity of this vulnerability is Low. The FIPS modules in 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are affected by this issue.

commit 73ec9e08398103b8ada31006f7e5f366943ac5a9
Author: Hector Cao <hector.cao@canonical.com>
Date:   Mon Feb 16 13:07:55 2026 +0100

    debian: python: fix caching issue with shutil.copyfileobj()
    
    shutil.copyfileobj() does not guarantee to flush the data to
    the dest file obj (see [1] and [2]. this behavior has been
    revealed by a recent change [3] on the copefileobj() buffer
    size in Python 3.14.
    
    this behavior causes the tests to fail because recently
    we add a new function (shell.p:init_shell_entry()) to add
    a new boot entry for the tests (see [4]).
    
    In Ubuntu, we are transitioning to Python 3.14 and this makes
    the tests fail on EDK2 build. This will also happen in Debian
    once it moves Python 3.14.
    
    This commit makes sure we flush the data after the copefileobj
    calls.

testing migrations

This package is part of the ongoing testing transition known as s390-31-bit-rm. Please avoid uploads unrelated to this transition, they would likely delay it and require supplementary work from the release managers. On the other hand, if your package has problems preventing it to migrate to testing, please fix them as soon as possible. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
