Distributions have resolved issues with GRUB2 updates

Major Linux distributions have released a corrective update for the GRUB2 bootloader package addressing issues, issues arising after the vulnerability BootHole. After the initial update, some users encountered inability download to boot their systems.

  • Debian:
    grub2_2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u2, grub2_2.02~beta3-5+deb9u2
  • Ubuntu: grub-efi-*26.2, grub-efi-*8.17, grub-efi-*3.27, and grub-efi-*1.17.
  • SUSE/openSUSE:
    shim-*el8_2 (RHEL 8) and shim*-15-8.el7 (RHEL 7).
  • CentOS: shim-x64-15-15.el8_2.x86_64.rpm (CentOS 7) and shim-x64-15-8.el7_8.x86_64.rpm (CentOS 8). The packages have already been published on mirrors but have not been announced.
