Now that I read back again, I see you misunderstood it. The message is
that there's a dbx update to *block* those insecure software
applications from running. It's not about not being able to update.
I also noticed the db was updated today.
Very interesting. After running by hand the parts of your script that
test whether an update is necessary (It is.), I ran the actual update
and got the following output. As you see, I replied "n"; would it be
dangerous to try "Y"?
That sounds quite safe. Do you even use any software from those
companies? (Things that boot directly.)
One of them may be the author my system's firmware. I don't know who
wrote it.
That has nothing to do with the firmware. It's referring to software
that would be booting using UEFI. e.g. vmware for the bare metal
hypervisor. Possibly virus scanners, I'm not sure what else would be
involved.
BTW: I've been seeing the error message for about a week.
What error message?
The following message. I should have written "warning" rather than "error".
That's not even a warning, just a notification that there's an update
available.
