This isn't really a "vulnerability". It's an API for performing certain
operations and some of the operations one can perform in this way
reportedly interact very badly with buggy firmware. 'Legacy boot mode'
should usually mean 'use a/the BIOS' instead of 'use UEFI' (that's at
least what it meant on my computer) hence, it should sidestep the issue.
