Hello,

When *efibootguard* encounters the same label on multiple volumes, it might
select the wrong volume to boot from.

To reproduce this issue, consider a device with two *efibootguard-boot*
partition labels, BOOT0 and BOOT1. Additionally, a USB stick with a live
image has the same *efibootguard-boot* labels. When we attempt to boot from
the USB stick via the BIOS, *efibootguard* will load the EFI configuration
from the USB stick but might boot from another volume with a matching
label. The behavior appears somewhat random.

The function FileDevicePathFromConfig does not seem to verify whether the
selected device actually owns the volume; it simply matches the label and
proceeds to boot from that volume.

Is this a user configuration error, or does it indicate a bug in
*efibootguard*?
Thanks,
Max
