The remote host is missing an update for the 'grub2'
package(s) announced via the CESA-2020:3217 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
The grub2 packages provide version 2 of the Grand Unified Boot Loader

chaining to a trusted full boot loader under secure boot environments.
The fwupdate packages provide a service that allows session software to
update device firmware.

arithmetic overflow and subsequent heap-based buffer overflow
(CVE-2020-14308)
