"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2024:1712672279 advisory.
- An authentication bypass flaw was found in GRUB due to the way that GRUB uses the UUID of a device to
search for the configuration file that contains the password hash for the GRUB password protection
feature. An attacker capable of attaching an external drive such as a USB stick containing a file system
with a duplicate UUID (the same as in the /boot/ file system) can bypass the GRUB password protection
feature on UEFI systems, which enumerate removable drives before non-removable ones. This issue was
introduced in a downstream patch in Red Hat's version of grub2 and does not affect the upstream package.
(CVE-2023-4001)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
