Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for shim fixes the following issues :

Update to the unified shim binary for SBAT support (bsc#1182057)

 + Merged EKU codesign check (bsc#1177315)

shim-install: Always assume 'removable' for Azure to avoid the endless reset loop (bsc#1185464).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
