Canoeboot 20250107rev1 released! 100% Free BIOS, GNU FSDG compliant. Several critical security fixes in GRUB, and other fixes

Hello everyone,

Release announcement: https://canoeboot.org/news/canoeboot20250107rev1.html

This is a minor revision to the original 20250107 release, previously announced. This revision release adds several critical security fixes, which were recently merged upstream in GRUB; several other minor improvements have also been made.

Users are strongly urged to upgrade, if they are using the GRUB payload.

Canoeboot is a coreboot distribution (coreboot distro), in the same way that Debian is a Linux distribution; Canoeboot is also a Libreboot fork. Canoeboot provides free, open source (libre) boot firmware based on coreboot, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware on specific Intel/AMD x86 and ARM based motherboards, including laptop and desktop computers. It initialises the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU, peripherals) and starts a bootloader for your operating system. GNU/Linux and BSD are well-supported. Help is available via #canoeboot on Libera IRC.
