Summary
### Impact
An active attacker could let the boot fail on purpose in the initramfs, dropping the serial console into an emergency shell. This gives attackers with access to the serial console full control over the VM.
### Patches
The issue has been patched in [v2.6.0](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/releases/tag/v2.6.0).

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
