This release fixes various issues in shim bootloader and updates it to
a supported version. Older versions of the shim may eventually be blocked
by Secure Boot, so it is strongly advised for Secure Boot enabled systems
to upgrade to this newer version to keep the system bootable.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
15.8-1~deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your shim packages.
