How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 grub2-signed to version 1.187.3~20.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-signed package and not the grub2-signed package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The GRUB2's shim_lock verifier allows non-kernel files to be loaded on shim-powered secure boot systems. Allowing such files to be loaded may lead to unverified code and modules to be loaded in GRUB2 breaking the secure boot trust-chain.
