Updated grub2 packages fix security vulnerabilities

All CVEs below are against the SecureBoot functionality in GRUB2. We do not ship this as part of Mageia. Therefore, we ship an updated grub2 package to 2.06 for Mageia 8 fixing upstream bugfixes. A flaw was found in grub2, prior to version 2.06. An attacker may use the GRUB 2 flaw to hijack and...

EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.2.0 : grub2 (EulerOS-SA-2021-2082)

According to the versions of the grub2 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. Setparamprefix in the menu rendering code performs a length...

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...

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: 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...

CVE-2021-1453

A vulnerability in the software image verification functionality of Cisco IOS XE Software for the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Family of switches could allow an unauthenticated, physical attacker to execute unsigned code at system boot time. The vulnerability is due to an improper check in the code functi...

CVE-2021-1441

A vulnerability in the hardware initialization routines of Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco 1100 Series Industrial Integrated Services Routers and Cisco ESR6300 Embedded Series Routers could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute unsigned code at system boot time. This vulnerability is...

CVE-2021-1449

A vulnerability in the boot logic of Cisco Access Points Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute unsigned code at boot time. The vulnerability is due to an improper check that is performed by the area of code that manages system startup processes. An attacker could exploi...

CVE-2021-1398

A vulnerability in the boot logic of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker with level 15 privileges or an unauthenticated attacker with physical access to execute arbitrary code on the underlying Linux operating system of an affected device. This vulnerability is due ...

PT-2021-2447 · Cisco · Cisco Access Points

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Cisco Access Points Software affected versions not specified Description: A vulnerability in the boot logic of Cisco Access Points Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute unsigned code at boot time. The issue is due t...

If certificates that signed grub are installed into db grub can be booted directly. It will then boot any kernel without signature validation. The booted kernel will think it was booted in secureboot mode and will implement lockdown yet it could have been tampered. This flaw is a reintroduction of CVE-2020-15705 and only affects grub2 versions prior to 2.06 and upstream and distributions using the shim_lock mechanism.

A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. 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 vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. 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 Secure Boot mechanism. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Vulnerabilities fixed in GRUB2

Vulnerabilities have been fixed in GRUB2. The vulnerabilities allow a local malicious person to execute arbitrary code resulting in the circumvention of "Secure Boot." Also, the vulnerabilities can be used to cause a denial-of-service cause. With the exception of the vulnerability with attribute...
