Fixed In Version: grub 2.12
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in grub2 when handling split HTTP headers. While processing a split HTTP header, grub2 wrongly advances its control pointer to the internal buffer by one position, which can lead to an out-of-bounds write. This flaw allows an attacker to leverage this issue by crafting a malicious set of HTTP packages making grub2 corrupt its internal memory metadata structure. This leads to data integrity and confidentiality issues or forces grub to crash, resulting in a denial of service attack.

Description Marco Benatto 2022-05-25 19:50:52 UTC 
When handling split HTTP headers, grub2 HTTP code accidentally its internal data buffer point by one position. This can lead to a out-of-bound write further when parsing the HTTP request, writing a NULL byte past the buffer. It's conceivable that an attacker controlled set of packets can lead to corruption of the grub's internal memory metadata
