NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-pc-modules package and not the grub2-pc-modules package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

There's a possible overflow in handle_image() when shim tries to load and execute crafted EFI executables; The handle_image() function takes into account the SizeOfRawData field from each section to be loaded. An attacker can leverage this to perform out-of-bound writes into memory. Arbitrary code execution is not discarded in such scenario.
