Research direction

Start by installing virt-firmware and running inspect-sbvar-update.py -u against PostSignedObjects/SignedByKEK2023/dbx_x64.efiauth2. Compare its 291 hashes with the previous version and determine why the two expected additions leave the object at 291; done means the signed object contains the expected 445 hashes and the inspection command confirms it.

It contains 291 hashes.

Expected Behavior

The previous version had 443 hashes, and with two hashes added I'd expect the number of hashes go up to 445, not down to 291.
