grub2: Fail kernel validation without shim protocol

GRUB2 fails to validate kernel signature when booted directly without shim, allowing secure boot to be bypassed. This only affects systems where the kernel signing certificate has been imported directly into the secure boot database and the GRUB image is booted directly without the use of shim...

grub2: Integer overflow read_section_as_string may lead to heap-based buffer overflow

A flaw was found in grub2. An expected font value is not verified before proceeding with buffer allocations allowing an attacker to use a malicious font file to create an arithmetic overflow, zero-sized allocation, and further heap-based buffer overflow. The highest threat from this vulnerability...

grub2: Integer overflow in grub_squash_read_symlink may lead to heap-based buffer overflow

A flaw was found in grub2. When handling squashfs filesystems containing a symbolic link with name length of UINT32 bytes in size, the name size leads to an arithmetic overflow leading to a zero-size allocation further causing a heap-based buffer overflow with attacker controlled data. The highes...

grub2: Use-after-free redefining a function whilst the same function is already executing

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...

grub2: Integer overflow in initrd size handling

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...

grub2: grub_malloc does not validate allocation size allowing for arithmetic overflow and subsequent heap-based buffer overflow

A flaw was found in current grub2 versions as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8, where the grub memory allocator doesn't check for possible arithmetic overflows on the requested allocation size. This issue leads the function to return invalid memory allocations, causing heap-based...

grub2: Integer overflow in initrd size handling

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...

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...

Moderate: Red Hat Security Advisory: grub2 security and bug fix update

An update for grub2, shim, shim-signed, and fwupdate is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed...

grub2: Integer overflow in grub_ext2_read_link leads to heap-based buffer overflow

A flaw was found in grub2 while handling symlink on ext filesystems. A filesystem containing a symbolic link with an inode size of UINT32MAX causes an arithmetic overflow, leading to a zero-sized memory allocation with a subsequent heap-based buffer overflow. The highest threat from this...
