USN-5484-1 linux vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to the kernel debugger when booted in secure boot environments. A privileged attacker could use this to bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. CVE-2022-21499 It was discovered that a race condition existed in the network...

USN-5484-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to the kernel debugger when booted in secure boot environments. A privileged attacker could use this to bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. CVE-2022-21499 It was discovered that a race condition existed in the network...

Privilege Escalation

linux is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists due to a lack of sanitization of access to the kernel debugger when booted in secure boot environments allowing an attacker to bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions...

grub2: shim_lock verifier allows non-kernel files to be loaded

A flaw was found in grub2. The shimlock verifier from grub2 allows non-kernel files to be loaded when secure boot is enabled, giving the possibility of unverified code or modules to be loaded when it should not be allowed...

grub2: Crafted JPEG image can lead to buffer underflow write in the heap

A flaw was found in grub2 when handling JPEG images. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious JPEG image, which leads to an underflow on a grub2's internal pointer, leading to a heap-based out-of-bounds write. Secure-boot mechanisms circumvention and arbitrary code execution may also be...

grub2: Crafted PNG grayscale images may lead to out-of-bounds write in heap

A flaw was found in grub 2, where a crafted 16-bit grayscale PNG image may lead to an out-of-bounds write. This flaw allows an attacker to corrupt the data on the heap portion of the grub2's memory, leading to possible code execution and the circumvention of the secure boot mechanism...
