Don't do upgrades to Fedora, RHEL, CentOS until you read those.
I'm not sure if it was necessary or not, but I killed all my dnfdragora-updater processes and also commented out the contents of /etc/xdg/autostart/org.mageia.dnfdragora-updater.desktop so that dnfdragora-updater dies if it tries to run
That's for the xfce spin of Fedora 31...
Now all I have to do is remember to re-enable it after the bug is fixed (;-))
I did rpm -qa grub2-\* shim-\* --qf "%{SOURCERPM}\n" | sort | uniq on my Fedora and got grub2-2.02-109.fc31.src.rpm shim-15-8.src.rpm so my version is ok. It looks like this problem was caused by a patch which then allowed a malformed token to cause a buffer overflow.
