The remote Windows host is missing an update to the Secure Boot DBX. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The rmmod implementation allows     the unloading of a module used as a dependency without checking if any other dependent     module is still loaded leading to a use-after-free scenario. This could allow arbitrary     code to be executed or a bypass of Secure Boot protections. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
    (CVE-2020-25632)

  - A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. Setparam_prefix() in the menu     rendering code performs a length calculation on the assumption that expressing a quoted     single quote will require 3 characters, while it actually requires 4 characters which     allows an attacker to corrupt memory by one byte for each quote in the input. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as     well as system availability. (CVE-2021-20233)


Additionally, the host is affected by several other security feature bypasses in Secure Boot.

Note: Tenable is testing for the presence of the expected signatures added in the DBX update published on March 2, 2021 referenced in the vendor advisory.
