Description Marco Benatto 2020-09-16 14:36:10 UTC 
The rmmod implementation for grub2 is flawed, allowing an attacker to unload a module used as dependency without checking if any other dependent module is still loaded. This leads to an use-after-free scenario possibly allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code and by-pass Secure Boot protections.
Comment 6 Marco Benatto 2021-02-25 15:30:06 UTC 
Marking fwupdate as WONTFIX for all rhel8 streams. This package was made obsolete and replaced by fwupd.
