    * CVE-2023-4692: ntfs: checks to ensure that NTFS drive's sector numbers are
    never written beyond the boundary
    * CVE-2023-4693: ntfs: fix an out-of-bounds read flaw on NTFS filesystem driver
    CVE(s):
    CVE-2023-4692
    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-2023-4693
    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
