Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-01-21 18:13:28 UTC
When reading language .mo file in grub_mofile_open(), grub2 fails to verify to a integer overflow when allocating its internal buffer. A crafted .mo file may lead to the buffer size calculation to overflow leading to Out-of-bound reads and writes. An attacker may leverage this flaw to leak sensitive data or overwrite critical data possibly leading to the circumvention of secure boot protections.
