How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:10 grub2-ppc64le-modules to version 1:2.12-15.el10_0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-ppc64le-modules package and not the grub2-ppc64le-modules package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in command/gpg. In some scenarios, hooks created by loaded modules are not removed when the related module is unloaded. This flaw allows an attacker to force grub2 to call the hooks once the module that registered it was unloaded, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. If correctly exploited, this vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution, eventually allowing the attacker to bypass secure boot protections.
