A flaw was found in Shim when an error happened while creating a new ESL variable. If Shim fails to create the new variable, it tries to print an error message to the user; however, the number of parameters used by the logging function doesn't match the format string used by it, leading to a crash under certain circumstances.

Created shim tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 2259922] shim 15.8-1.el7 passed sanity testing: signatures on efi binaries are correct, booting VM, netboot / httpboot over ipv4 and ipv6 all pass Important update information: The new shim revokes ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS of GRUB2. Therefore GRUB2 MUST be updated to the latest version: grub2-2.02-0.87.el7_9.14 (RHSA-2024:128440-02) BEFORE OR SIMULTANEOUSLY with this shim in order for Secure Boot to continue to work. Failure to update GRUB2 will result in an UNBOOTABLE system.
