CVE-2021-3981 2 Fedoraproject, Gnu 2 Fedora, Grub2 2023-02-12 2.1 LOW 3.3 LOW
A flaw in grub2 was found where its configuration file, known as grub.cfg, is being created with the wrong permission set allowing non privileged users to read its content. This represents a low severity confidentiality issue, as those users can eventually read any encrypted passwords present in grub.cfg. This flaw affects grub2 2.06 and previous versions. This issue has been fixed in grub upstream but no version with the fix is currently released.
CVE-2019-14865 2 Gnu, Redhat 3 Grub2, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Eus 2023-02-12 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in the grub2-set-bootflag utility of grub2. A local attacker could run this utility under resource pressure (for example by setting RLIMIT), causing grub2 configuration files to be truncated and leaving the system unbootable on subsequent reboots.
CVE-2022-2601 3 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Redhat 8 Fedora, Grub2, Enterprise Linux Eus and 5 more 2023-02-03 N/A 8.6 HIGH
A buffer overflow was found in grub_font_construct_glyph(). A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an overflow when calculating the max_glyph_size value, allocating a smaller than needed buffer for the glyph, this further leads to a buffer overflow and a heap based out-of-bounds write. An attacker may use this vulnerability to circumvent the secure boot mechanism.
CVE-2022-3775 2 Gnu, Redhat 2 Grub2, Enterprise Linux 2022-12-28 N/A 7.1 HIGH
When rendering certain unicode sequences, grub2's font code doesn't proper validate if the informed glyph's width and height is constrained within bitmap size. As consequence an attacker can craft an input which will lead to a out-of-bounds write into grub2's heap, leading to memory corruption and availability issues. Although complex, arbitrary code execution could not be discarded.
CVE-2020-27779 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 8 Fedora, Grub2, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 5 more 2022-10-21 6.9 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The cutmem command does not honor secure boot locking allowing an privileged attacker to remove address ranges from memory creating an opportunity to circumvent SecureBoot protections after proper triage about grub's memory layout. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
CVE-2020-14372 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 9 Fedora, Grub2, Cloud Backup and 6 more 2022-07-22 6.2 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06, where it incorrectly enables the usage of the ACPI command when Secure Boot is enabled. This flaw allows an attacker with privileged access to craft a Secondary System Description Table (SSDT) containing code to overwrite the Linux kernel lockdown variable content directly into memory. The table is further loaded and executed by the kernel, defeating its Secure Boot lockdown and allowing the attacker to load unsigned code. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity, as well as system availability.
CVE-2020-27749 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 8 Fedora, Grub2, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 5 more 2022-05-13 7.2 HIGH 6.7 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. Variable names present are expanded in the supplied command line into their corresponding variable contents, using a 1kB stack buffer for temporary storage, without sufficient bounds checking. If the function is called with a command line that references a variable with a sufficiently large payload, it is possible to overflow the stack buffer, corrupt the stack frame and control execution which could also circumvent Secure Boot protections. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
CVE-2020-25647 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 8 Fedora, Grub2, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 5 more 2022-05-13 7.2 HIGH 7.6 HIGH
A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. During USB device initialization, descriptors are read with very little bounds checking and assumes the USB device is providing sane values. If properly exploited, an attacker could trigger memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution allowing a bypass of the Secure Boot mechanism. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
CVE-2020-25632 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 8 Fedora, Grub2, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 5 more 2022-05-13 7.2 HIGH 8.2 HIGH
A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The rmmod implementation allows the unloading of a module used as a dependency without checking if any other dependent module is still loaded leading to a use-after-free scenario. This could allow arbitrary code to be executed or a bypass of Secure Boot protections. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
CVE-2020-14309 2 Gnu, Opensuse 2 Grub2, Leap 2022-04-28 4.6 MEDIUM 6.7 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2021-20225 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 8 Fedora, Grub2, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 5 more 2022-04-18 7.2 HIGH 6.7 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The option parser allows an attacker to write past the end of a heap-allocated buffer by calling certain commands with a large number of specific short forms of options. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
CVE-2021-20233 4 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 8 Fedora, Grub2, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 5 more 2022-04-18 7.2 HIGH 8.2 HIGH
A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. Setparam_prefix() in the menu rendering code performs a length calculation on the assumption that expressing a quoted single quote will require 3 characters, while it actually requires 4 characters which allows an attacker to corrupt memory by one byte for each quote in the input. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
CVE-2020-15705 7 Canonical, Debian, Gnu and 4 more 14 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Grub2 and 11 more 2022-04-18 4.4 MEDIUM 6.4 MEDIUM
GRUB2 fails to validate kernel signature when booted directly without shim, allowing secure boot to be bypassed. This only affects systems where the kernel signing certificate has been imported directly into the secure boot database and the GRUB image is booted directly without the use of shim. This issue affects GRUB2 version 2.04 and prior versions.
CVE-2020-14308 2 Gnu, Opensuse 2 Grub2, Leap 2022-04-18 4.4 MEDIUM 6.4 MEDIUM
In grub2 versions before 2.06 the grub memory allocator doesn't check for possible arithmetic overflows on the requested allocation size. This leads the function to return invalid memory allocations which can be further used to cause possible integrity, confidentiality and availability impacts during the boot process.
CVE-2021-46705 3 Gnu, Opensuse, Suse 3 Grub2, Factory, Linux Enterprise Server 2022-03-22 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
A Insecure Temporary File vulnerability in grub-once of grub2 in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4, openSUSE Factory allows local attackers to truncate arbitrary files. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4 grub2 versions prior to 2.06-150400.7.1. SUSE openSUSE Factory grub2 versions prior to 2.06-18.1.
CVE-2020-14311 4 Canonical, Gnu, Opensuse and 1 more 7 Ubuntu Linux, Grub2, Leap and 4 more 2021-10-19 3.6 LOW 6.0 MEDIUM
There is an issue with grub2 before version 2.06 while handling symlink on ext filesystems. A filesystem containing a symbolic link with an inode size of UINT32_MAX causes an arithmetic overflow leading to a zero-sized memory allocation with subsequent heap-based buffer overflow.
CVE-2020-14310 4 Canonical, Gnu, Opensuse and 1 more 7 Ubuntu Linux, Grub2, Leap and 4 more 2021-10-19 3.6 LOW 6.0 MEDIUM
There is an issue on grub2 before version 2.06 at function read_section_as_string(). It expects a font name to be at max UINT32_MAX - 1 length in bytes but it doesn't verify it before proceed with buffer allocation to read the value from the font value. An attacker may leverage that by crafting a malicious font file which has a name with UINT32_MAX, leading to read_section_as_string() to an arithmetic overflow, zero-sized allocation and further heap-based buffer overflow.
CVE-2020-15707 8 Canonical, Debian, Gnu and 5 more 15 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Grub2 and 12 more 2021-09-13 4.4 MEDIUM 6.4 MEDIUM
Integer overflows were discovered in the functions grub_cmd_initrd and grub_initrd_init in the efilinux component of GRUB2, as shipped in Debian, Red Hat, and Ubuntu (the functionality is not included in GRUB2 upstream), leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. These could be triggered by an extremely large number of arguments to the initrd command on 32-bit architectures, or a crafted filesystem with very large files on any architecture. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code and bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. This issue affects GRUB2 version 2.04 and prior versions.
CVE-2020-15706 6 Canonical, Debian, Gnu and 3 more 13 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Grub2 and 10 more 2021-04-30 4.4 MEDIUM 6.4 MEDIUM
GRUB2 contains a race condition in grub_script_function_create() leading to a use-after-free vulnerability which can be triggered by redefining a function whilst the same function is already executing, leading to arbitrary code execution and secure boot restriction bypass. This issue affects GRUB2 version 2.04 and prior versions.
CVE-2020-10713 1 Gnu 1 Grub2 2021-04-30 4.6 MEDIUM 8.2 HIGH
A flaw was found in grub2, prior to version 2.06. An attacker may use the GRUB 2 flaw to hijack and tamper the GRUB verification process. This flaw also allows the bypass of Secure Boot protections. In order to load an untrusted or modified kernel, an attacker would first need to establish access to the system such as gaining physical access, obtain the ability to alter a pxe-boot network, or have remote access to a networked system with root access. With this access, an attacker could then craft a string to cause a buffer overflow by injecting a malicious payload that leads to arbitrary code execution within GRUB. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
