Discover, which I use for upgrades, reports problems with UEFI. There

UEFI DBX : Version 217 : Released on 4/8/23
UEFI Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database
Insecure versions of software from Trend Micro, vmware, CPSD,
Eurosoft, and New Horizon Datasys Inc were added to the list of
forbidden signatures due to discovered security problems. This
updates the dbx to the latest release from Microsoft.
Before installing the update, fwupd will check for any affected
executables in the ESP and will refuse to update if it finds any boot
binaries signed with any of the forbidden signatures.
...
It looks like there is a new version of the UEFI boot system, which
can't be installed because of signature issues. Is this correct? Is
it anything to worry about? Can anything be done to fix the issue? Is
the issue likely to be fixed upstream?
I don't use Discover. I use fwupdmgr directly. I have not seen
fwupdmgr refuse to update a component (sans no UEFI). Here's the
relevant piece of the script I run daily:
if command -v fwupdmgr >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
if fwupdmgr get-devices 2>&1 | grep -q -c 'UEFI ESRT device' ; then
echo "Updating firmware"
fwupdmgr refresh --force 1>/dev/null && \
fwupdmgr update 1>/dev/null
fi
fi
I also noticed the db was updated today.
Very interesting. After running by hand the parts of your script that
test whether an update is necessary (It is.), I ran the actual update
and got the following output. As you see, I replied "n"; would it be
dangerous to try "Y"?
That sounds quite safe. Do you even use any software from those
companies? (Things that boot directly.)
BTW: I've been seeing the error message for about a week.
What error message?
