NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-tools-efi-debuginfo package and not the grub2-tools-efi-debuginfo package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in grub2. When reading a symbolic link's name from a UFS filesystem, grub2 fails to validate the string length taken as an input. The lack of validation may lead to a heap out-of-bounds write, causing data integrity issues and eventually allowing an attacker to circumvent secure boot protections.
