grub2: Heap out-of-bounds write in short form option parser

A flaw was found in grub2. The option parser allows an attacker to write past the end of a heap-allocated buffer by calling certain commands with a large number of specific short forms of options. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as syste...

grub2: Heap out-of-bounds write due to miscalculation of space required for quoting

A flaw was found in grub2. Setparamprefix in the menu rendering code performs a length calculation on the assumption that expressing a quoted single quote will require 3 characters, while it actually requires 4 characters which allows an attacker to corrupt memory by one byte for each quote in th...

grub2: cutmem command allows privileged user to remove memory regions when Secure Boot is enabled

A flaw was found in grub2. The cutmem command does not honor secure boot locking allowing an privileged attacker to remove address ranges from memory creating an opportunity to circumvent SecureBoot protections after proper triage about grub's memory layout. The highest threat from this...

grub2: Stack buffer overflow in grub_parser_split_cmdline()

A flaw was found in grub2. Variable names present are expanded in the supplied command line into their corresponding variable contents, using a 1kB stack buffer for temporary storage, without sufficient bounds checking. If the function is called with a command line that references a variable with...

grub2: acpi command allows privileged user to load crafted ACPI tables when Secure Boot is enabled

A flaw was found in GRUB 2, where it incorrectly enables the usage of the ACPI command when Secure Boot is enabled. This flaw allows an attacker with privileged access to craft a Secondary System Description Table SSDT containing code to overwrite the Linux kernel lockdown variable content direct...

grub2: Out-of-bounds write in grub_usb_device_initialize()

A flaw was found in grub2. During USB device initialization, descriptors are read with very little bounds checking and assumes the USB device is providing sane values. If properly exploited, an attacker could trigger memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution allowing a bypass of the...

grub2: Use-after-free in rmmod command

A flaw was found in grub2. The rmmod implementation allows the unloading of a module used as a dependency without checking if any other dependent module is still loaded leading to a use-after-free scenario. This could allow arbitrary code to be executed or a bypass of Secure Boot protections. The...

CVE-2020-24637

Two vulnerabilities in ArubaOS GRUB2 implementation allows for an attacker to bypass secureboot. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability this could lead to remote compromise of system integrity by allowing an attacker to load an untrusted or modified kernel in Aruba 9000 Gateway; Aruba 7000...

grub2: Crafted grub.cfg file can lead to arbitrary code execution during boot process

A flaw was found in grub2, prior to version 2.06. An attacker may use the GRUB 2 flaw to hijack and tamper the GRUB verification process. This flaw also allows the bypass of Secure Boot protections. In order to load an untrusted or modified kernel, an attacker would first need to establish access...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: grub2 versions prior to 2.06 Description: A flaw was found in grub2 where it incorrectly enables the usage of the ACPI command when Secure Boot is enabled. This flaw allows an attacker with privileged access to craft a Secondary System...

The vulnerability of the implementation of the dynamic memory distribution function in the Grub2 operating system’s loader allows a attacker to influence the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of information.

The vulnerability of the implementation of the dynamic memory distribution function in the Grub2 operating system’s loader is related to integer overflow. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to influence the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of information...

Multiple integer underflows in Grub2 1.98 through 2.02 allow physically proximate attackers to bypass authentication obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (disk corruption) via backspace characters in the (1) grub_username_get function in grub-core/normal/auth.c or the (2) grub_password_get function in lib/crypto.c which trigger an "Off-by-two" or "Out of bounds overwrite" memory error.
