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:

[Firmware Bug]: Page fault caused by firmware at PA: 0xffffb1edc0068000

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