Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. During USB device initialization, descriptors are read without sufficient bounds checking, assuming that the USB device provides valid values. If exploited properly, an attacker could cause memory corruption, leading to arbitrary code...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. When performing a symlink lookup from a romfs filesystem, grub’s romfs filesystem module uses user-controlled parameters from the filesystem geometry to determine the internal buffer size. However, it improperly checks for integer overflows. A maliciously crafted...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the GNU GRUB Grand Unified Bootloader. The flaw occurs because the process that closes files improperly retains a memory pointer, leaving an invalid reference to a file system structure. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause th...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in command/gpg. In some scenarios, hooks created by loaded modules are not removed when the related module is unloaded. This flaw allows an attacker to force grub2 to call the hooks once the module that registered them was unloaded, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerabilit...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. When performing a symlink lookup, the grub’s UFS module checks the data size of the inode to allocate an internal buffer to read the file content. However, it fails to check whether the data size of the symlink has exceeded its allocated limit. As a result, the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. When performing a symlink lookup from a ReiserFS filesystem, grub’s ReiserFS module uses user-controlled parameters from the filesystem’s geometry to determine the internal buffer size. However, it improperly checks for integer overflows. A maliciously crafted...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A heap out-of-bounds write may occur during the handling of Huffman tables in the PNG reader. This may lead to data corruption in the heap space. The impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability are considered low, as it is very complex for an attacker to control the encoding and...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A out-of-bounds read flaw was discovered in Grub2’s NTFS filesystem driver. This issue may allow a physically present attacker to present a specially crafted NTFS file system image to read arbitrary memory locations. A successful attack can result in sensitive data cached in memory or EFI variabl...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

An integer overflow flaw was discovered in the BFS file system driver within grub2. When reading a file using an indirect extent map, grub2 fails to validate the number of extent entries to be read. A maliciously crafted or corrupted BFS file system may cause an integer overflow during file...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A carefully crafted JPEG image may cause the JPEG reader to underflow its data pointer, allowing user-controlled data to be written into the heap. For the attack to succeed, the attacker must analyze the heap layout and create an image with malicious format and payloads. This vulnerability can le...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. The dump command of grub is not blocked when grub is in lockdown mode, which allows the user to read any memory information. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to extract signatures, salts, and other sensitive information from the memory...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A out-of-bounds write flaw was discovered in grub2’s NTFS filesystem driver. This issue may allow an attacker to present a specially crafted NTFS filesystem image, resulting in corruption of grub’s heap metadata. In some cases, the attack may also corrupt the UEFI firmware heap metadata. As a...

Photon OS 5.0: Grub2 PHSA-2026-5.0-90-0742

An update of the grub2 package has been released. %NASLMINLEVEL 80900 C Tenable, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from VMware Security Advisory PHSA-2026-5.0-90-0742. The text itself is copyright C VMware, Inc. include'compat.inc'; if description...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. A specially crafted JPEG file can cause the JPEG parser in grub2 to incorrectly check the boundaries of its internal buffers, leading to an out-of-bounds write. The possibility of overwriting sensitive information to bypass secure boot protections is still a concer...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A stack overflow flaw was discovered while reading a BFS file system. A specially crafted BFS file system may lead to an uncontrolled loop, causing grub2 to crash...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A vulnerability has been identified in the GRUB2 bootloader’s normal command, posing an immediate Denial of Service DoS risk. This flaw is a Use-after-Free issue, caused by the fact that the normal command is not properly unregistered when the module is unloaded. An attacker who can execute this...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A vulnerability has been identified in the GRUB2 bootloader’s network module, posing an immediate Denial of Service DoS risk. This flaw is a use-after-free issue, as the netsetvlan command is not properly unregistered when the network module is unloaded from memory. An attacker who can execute th...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2, where the grubextcmddispatcher function calls grubarglistalloc to allocate memory for the grub’s argument list. However, it does not check in case the memory allocation fails. Once the allocation fails, a NULL pointer will be processed by the parseoption function,...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

When reading the .mo file in grubmofileopen, grub2 fails to verify an integer overflow during the allocation of its internal buffer. A specially crafted .mo file may cause the buffer size calculation to overflow, resulting in out-of-bound reads and writes. This flaw allows an attacker to leak...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. The calculation of the translation buffer when reading a language .mo file in grubgettextgetstrfromposition may overflow, resulting in an out-of-bound write. This issue can be exploited by an attacker to overwrite grub2’s sensitive heap data, ultimately allowing th...
