The UEFI firmware is being provided by the system/mainboard
manufacturer.

fwupd provides a way to update the UEFI if the vendor supports it.

In most cases it is, as it also provides an EFI bootloader that can
boot Linux. Even if there are ways to boot the Linux kernel directly
from the UEFI, most operating systems ship a boot loader like GRUB2.
This package will be updated by dnf.
You can check dnf for grub-efi, e.g. grub2-efi-x64.

Upgrade them via dnf.
Upgrade your system firmware by fwupd if supported, if not, check the
vendor's website for the update files (some enable loading them from a
USB thumb disk or even the internet).
