GRUB2 contains a race condition in grub_script_function_create() 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 version 2.04 and prior versions.
