NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub package and not the grub package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Grub Legacy 0.97 and earlier stores pre-boot authentication passwords in the BIOS Keyboard buffer and does not clear this buffer before and after use, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the physical memory locations associated with this buffer.
