I'll post here again once we have pushed the EL8 and CentOS Stream updates.
OK .. I have also now pushed the CentOS Linux 8 update .. you should see an update to SHIM .. the new versions are:
PowerTools/x86_64/os/Packages/shim-unsigned-x64-15-8.el8.x86_64.rpm BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/shim-ia32-15-15.el8_2.x86_64.rpm BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/shim-x64-15-15.el8_2.x86_64.rpm
For CentOS Linux 7 .. the new files are:
x86_64/Packages/mokutil-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-ia32-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-unsigned-ia32-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-unsigned-x64-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-x64-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm
You need only replace the files you currently have installed, not install every file.
Please report both positive and negative results.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
I updated my Centos 7, and it's awaiting a reboot. The version of shim says 15-7, which I presume is the bad one.
What do I need to do? Obviously, a reboot will encounter the failure. Or, should I perform "yum update" periodically and wait for shim 15-8 to appear, and only after that do the reboot? Or is there some other remedy?
And by the way, I'm amazed at the speed with which this problem was addressed and a fix provided. You guys work wonders.
