NVD Description

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

A PGP signature bypass flaw was found in fwupd (all versions), which could lead to the installation of unsigned firmware. As per upstream, a signature bypass is theoretically possible, but not practical because the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) is either not implemented or enabled in versions of fwupd shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
