Binarly PKfail detector

I want to check if my Lenovo T480 is afftected by the recent PKFail, but have no idea how to extract the bios firmware for validation. Can someone detail the steps? Thanks.

      Except the directory structure is totally gone. At least I can’t see it with either by mounting or with archive software.

        I was able to extract the img from the ISO using geteltorito as described in section 5 of this ArchWiki article. Once you mount the resulting img file, you’ll end up with the same file contents achieved by running their Windows BIOS Utility through wine.

        The relevant binaries appear to be under the folders, N24ET76P and N24ET76W. Both scan clean for me, for whatever that’s worth:

        The linux command mentioned in the Ars Technica article elsewhere here is efi-readvar -v PK. For Fedora and Arch users, efi-readvar is available in the efitools package.
