"The version of grub2 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-0624 advisory.
- A flaw was found in grub2. During the network boot process, when trying to search for the configuration
file, grub copies data from a user controlled environment variable into an internal buffer using the
grub_strcpy() function. During this step, it fails to consider the environment variable length when
allocating the internal buffer, resulting in an out-of-bounds write. If correctly exploited, this issue
May result in remote code execution through the same network segment grub is searching for the boot
information, which can be used to by-pass secure boot protections. (CVE-2025-0624)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
