Descriptions
When reading the language .mo file in grub_mofile_open(), grub2 fails to verify an integer overflow when allocating its internal buffer. A crafted .mo file may lead the buffer size calculation to overflow, leading to out-of-bound reads and writes. This flaw allows an attacker to leak sensitive data or overwrite critical data, possibly circumventing secure boot protections.
This update for grub2 fixes the following issues. Fixed strcpy overflow in ufs. Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in hfs. Fixed strcpy overflow in hfs. Fixed an overflow in tar/cpio. Fixed a refcount overflow in hfsplus. Fixed a heap overflow in JPEG parser. Fixed a missing NULL check in extcmd parser. Fixed an overflow in .MO file handling. Fixed an integer overflow in gettext. Fixed bfs filesystem by removing it from lockdown capable modules. Fixed a heap overflow in bfs. Fixed an issue that can bypass TPM-bound disk encryption on SLM encrypted Images. Fixed an out-of-bounds write during the network boot process. Fixed a use-after-free when handling hooks during module unload in command/gpg. Fixed an integer overflow that may lead to an out-of-bounds write through the read command. Fixed an issue where the dump command was not being blocked when grub was in lockdown mode. Fixed an integer overflow that may lead to an out-of-bounds write when handling symlinks in ufs. Fixed an integer overflow that may lead to an out-of-bounds write when handling symlinks in reiserfs. Fixed an integer overflow that may lead to an out-of-bounds write when handling symlinks in jfs. Fixed an integer overflow that may lead to an out-of-bounds write when handling symlinks in romfs. Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in udf that may lead to arbitrary code execution. Fixed an integer overflow that may lead to an out-of-bounds write in hfs. Fixed an integer overflow that may lead to an out-of-bounds write in squash4.
