Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU64057

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3695

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing PNG grayscale images. A local privileged user can pass specially crafted PNG image to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write error and potentially bypass secure boot protection mechanism.

Mitigation

Update the affected package grub2 to the latest version.

4) Integer underflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU64062

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28733

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow when processing IP packets within the grub_net_recv_ip4_packets() function. A remote attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to the affected system, trigger an integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
