1. The bug is in function "UpdateDefaultSettingInFormPackage()" which is to update the default setting of some HII Questions in the IFR binary data. So it only has impact when platform overrides default setting in HII VarStore through DynamicHii PCD setting in Platform DSC file. If platform doesn't override default setting, it has no impact. 2. The implementation updates the "Flags" filed in the EFI_IFR_CHECKBOX structure to update the default setting of checkbox. If using "IfrCheckBox = (EFI_IFR_CHECKBOX *) (IfrOpHdr + 1);" when wants to update the " Flags" filed in checkbox, but in fact it will update the opcode binary data(opcode binary length) behind checkbox binary. And then it will cause Browser can't parse the IFR binary data correctly. And then the possible symptom is that some HII Question and forms may be not parsed and then cannot be shown.
