There’s an issue with grub2 in all versions before 2.06 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.
