It injects a .EXE executable through Windows Platform Binary Table. It's a way for OEMs to have executables in a UEFI table that get silently and automatically installed when Windows boots.
Linux doesn't recognize the injected payload so it gets ignored. Even if it was a linux specific file, you have to make it executable first through setting the permissions before it will launch it.
