Hi guys,
I hope this is the right section to post at.

probably some of you already know about this new critical flaw.
If it does, how and which of our puppy linux versions are affected?
I currently run bookworm pup 64 (which rocks, I love it).
Thank you and have a great day!

Thanks for sharing the information 
I read another article which reported this:
"The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-40547, is what’s known as a buffer overflow, a coding bug that allows attackers to execute code of their choice. It resides in a part of the shim that processes booting up from a central server on a network using the same HTTP that the the web is based on. Attackers can exploit the code-execution vulnerability in various scenarios, virtually all following some form of successful compromise of either the targeted device or the server or network the device boots from.
