A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The option parser
allows an attacker to write past the end of a heap-allocated buffer by
calling certain commands with a large number of specific short forms of
options. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data
confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
