Descriptions

The GRUB2's shim_lock verifier allows non-kernel files to be loaded on shim-powered secure boot systems. Allowing such files to be loaded may lead to unverified code and modules to be loaded in GRUB2 breaking the secure boot trust-chain.

A flaw was found in grub2. The shim_lock verifier from grub2 allows non-kernel files to be loaded when secure boot is enabled, giving the possibility of unverified code or modules to be loaded when it should not be allowed.
