Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds Write
EUVDB-ID: #VU32922
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10713
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: Yes
Description
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a "BootHole" issue. An attacker with physical access can install persistent and stealthy bootkits or malicious bootloaders, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsgrub: 1.99 - 2.05

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. The attacker should have physical access to the system in order to successfully exploit this vulnerability.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU32923
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-2020-14308
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. An attacker with physical access can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system during the boot process.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

3) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU32934
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14309
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling symlinks on ext filesustem in grub_squash_read_symlink() function. A local user can create a specially crafted symlink, trigger an integer overflow and crash the system.
