The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2023:0752 advisory. - A buffer overflow was found in grubfontconstructglyph. A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an overflow when calculating the maxglyphsize value,...

SUSE CVE-2015-7837

The Linux kernel, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, kernel-rt, and Enterprise MRG 2 and when booted with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, allows local users to bypass intended securelevel/secureboot restrictions by leveraging improper handling of secureboot flag across kexec reboot...

SUSE CVE-2016-3699

The Linux kernel, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 and when booted with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, allows local users to bypass intended Secure Boot restrictions and execute untrusted code by appending ACPI tables to the initrd...

SUSE CVE-2017-1000363

Linux drivers/char/lp.c Out-of-Bounds Write. Due to a missing bounds check, and the fact that parportptr integer is static, a 'secure boot' kernel command line adversary can happen due to bootloader vulns, e.g. Google Nexus 6's CVE-2016-10277, where due to a vulnerability the adversary has partia...

SUSE CVE-2019-20908

An issue was discovered in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c in the Linux kernel before 5.4. Incorrect access permissions for the efivarssdt ACPI variable could be used by attackers to bypass lockdown or secure boot restrictions, aka CID-1957a85b0032...

SUSE CVE-2020-10713

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...

SUSE CVE-2020-14372

A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06, 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 lockdow...

SUSE CVE-2020-15705

SUSE CVE-2020-15707

Integer overflows were discovered in the functions grubcmdinitrd and grubinitrdinit in the efilinux component of GRUB2, as shipped in Debian, Red Hat, and Ubuntu the functionality is not included in GRUB2 upstream, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. These could be triggered by an extremely...

SUSE CVE-2020-15706

GRUB2 contains a race condition in grubscriptfunctioncreate leading to a use-after-free vulnerability which can be triggered by redefining a function whilst the same function is already executing, leading to arbitrary code execution and secure boot restriction bypass. This issue affects GRUB2...

SUSE CVE-2020-15780
