ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1742805183 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the grub2-set-bootflag utility of grub2. After the fix of CVE-2019-14865, grub2-set-
    bootflag will create a temporary file with the new grubenv content and rename it to the original grubenv
    file. If the program is killed before the rename operation, the temporary file will not be removed and may
    fill the filesystem when invoked multiple times, resulting in a filesystem out of free inodes or blocks.
    (CVE-2024-1048)

  - A flaw was found in grub2. A specially crafted JPEG file can cause the JPEG parser of grub2 to incorrectly
    check the bounds of its internal buffers, resulting in an out-of-bounds write. The possibility of
    overwriting sensitive information to bypass secure boot protections is not discarded. (CVE-2024-45774)

  - A flaw was found in grub2 where the grub_extcmd_dispatcher() function calls grub_arg_list_alloc() to
    allocate memory for the grub's argument list. However, it fails to check in case the memory allocation
    fails. Once the allocation fails, a NULL point will be processed by the parse_option() function, leading
    grub to crash or, in some rare scenarios, corrupt the IVT data. (CVE-2024-45775)

  - When reading the language .mo file in grub_mofile_open(), grub2 fails to verify an integer overflow when
    allocating its internal buffer. A crafted .mo file may lead the buffer size calculation to overflow,
    leading to out-of-bound reads and writes. This flaw allows an attacker to leak sensitive data or overwrite
    critical data, possibly circumventing secure boot protections. (CVE-2024-45776)

  - A flaw was found in grub2. The calculation of the translation buffer when reading a language .mo file in
    grub_gettext_getstr_from_position() may overflow, leading to a Out-of-bound write. This issue can be
    leveraged by an attacker to overwrite grub2's sensitive heap data, eventually leading to the circumvention
    of secure boot protections. (CVE-2024-45777)

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