• Issue Known issue After installing this security update, you might face issues with booting Linux if you have enabled the dual-boot setup for Windows and Linux in your device. Resulting from this issue, your device might fail to boot Linux and show the error message “Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation. Something has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy Violation.” The August 2024 Windows security update applies a Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) setting to devices that run Windows to block old, vulnerable boot managers. This SBAT update will not be applied to devices where dual booting is detected. On some devices, the dual-boot detection did not detect so Workaround: The September 2024 Windows security update ( KB5043083 ) and later updates do not contain the settings that caused this issue. Additional improvements to resolve this issue were included in the May 2025 Windows security update ( KB5058387 ) and later updates. On Windows-only systems, after installing the September 2024 or later updates, you can set the registry key documented in CVE-2022-2601 and CVE-2023-40547 to ensure the SBAT security update is applied. On systems that dual-boot Linux and Windows, there are no additional steps necessary after installing the September 2024 or later updates.
