Descriptions
There's an issue with grub2 in all versions before 2.06 when handling squashfs filesystems containing a symbolic link with name length of UINT32 bytes in size. The name size leads to an arithmetic overflow leading to a zero-size allocation further causing a heap-based buffer overflow with attacker controlled data.
Se presenta un problema con grub2 en todas las versiones anteriores a 2.06, cuando se manejan sistemas de archivos squashfs que contienen un enlace simbólico con una longitud de nombre de UINT32 bytes de tamaño. El tamaño del nombre conlleva a un desbordamiento aritmético conllevando a una asignación de tamaño cero, causando un desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria con datos controlados por el atacante
