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...

CVE-2020-25632

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

CVE-2020-27779

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...

CVE-2020-25647

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...

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...
