Shim vulnerability exposes most Linux systems to attack
(www.zdnet.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Given you need physical access (afaiu), there's an easier ~~root~~ route: you come with a flash drive that also has shim, boot from it, and do whatever you wanted to do.
Now if you don't want whoever to be able to bypass suckure boot, you remove microshit's keys and install your own ones. Coincidentally, you don't really need a crutch - that is shim - in that case.
Every fucking time. "Critical security problem with all Linux machines!!!" Turns out you need physical access and the ability to program tools that don't exist yet
