CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15705
CWE-ID:
CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the affected software fails to validate kernel signature when booted directly without shim. An attacker with physical access can bypass secure boot.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15706
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code and bypass secure boot restriction.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the "grub_script_function_create()" function. An attacker with physical access can exploit the race and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

EUVDB-ID: #VU32925
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15707
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the "grub_cmd_initrd" and "grub_initrd_init" functions in the "efilinux" component. An attacker with physical access can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
