The remote host is missing an update for the 'edk2' package(s) announced via the USN-4684-1 advisory. It was discovered that EDK II incorrectly validated certain signed images. An attacker could possibly use this issue with a specially crafted image to cause EDK II to hang, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (CVE-2019-14562). It was also discovered that EDK II incorrectly parsed signed PKCS #7 data. An attacker could use this issue to cause EDK II to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2019-14584)
