Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-18 19:46:45 UTC
The calculation of the translation buffer when reading a language .mo file in grub_gettext_getstr_from_position() may overflow leading to a Out-of-bound write. This may be leveraged by an attacker to overwrite senstive grub2's heap data, eventually leading to the circumvention of secure boot protections.
