"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-14 (GRUB: Multiple Vulnerabilities)
- A buffer overflow was found in grub_font_construct_glyph(). A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an
overflow when calculating the max_glyph_size value, allocating a smaller than needed buffer for the glyph,
this further leads to a buffer overflow and a heap based out-of-bounds write. An attacker may use this
vulnerability to circumvent the secure boot mechanism. (CVE-2022-2601)
- When rendering certain unicode sequences, grub2's font code doesn't proper validate if the informed
glyph's width and height is constrained within bitmap size. As consequence an attacker can craft an input
which will lead to a out-of-bounds write into grub2's heap, leading to memory corruption and availability
issues. Although complex, arbitrary code execution could not be discarded. (CVE-2022-3775)
- An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in grub2's NTFS filesystem driver. This issue may allow an attacker
to present a specially crafted NTFS filesystem image, leading to grub's heap metadata corruption. In some
circumstances, the attack may also corrupt the UEFI firmware heap metadata. As a result, arbitrary code
execution and secure boot protection bypass may be achieved. (CVE-2023-4692)
- An out-of-bounds read flaw was found on grub2's NTFS filesystem driver. This issue may allow a physically
present attacker to present a specially crafted NTFS file system image to read arbitrary memory locations.
A successful attack allows sensitive data cached in memory or EFI variable values to be leaked, presenting
a high Confidentiality risk. (CVE-2023-4693)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
