NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-tools-efi package and not the grub2-tools-efi package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The rmmod implementation allows the unloading of a module used as a dependency without checking if any other dependent module is still loaded leading to a use-after-free scenario. This could allow arbitrary code to be executed or a bypass of Secure Boot protections. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
