NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream shim-ia32 package and not the shim-ia32 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Shim when an error happened while creating a new ESL variable. If Shim fails to create the new variable, it tries to print an error message to the user; however, the number of parameters used by the logging function doesn't match the format string used by it, leading to a crash under certain circumstances.
