NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-efi-aa64 package and not the grub2-efi-aa64 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Out-of-bounds write when handling split HTTP headers; When handling split HTTP headers, GRUB2 HTTP code accidentally moves its internal data buffer point by one position. This can lead to a out-of-bound write further when parsing the HTTP request, writing a NULL byte past the buffer. It's conceivable that an attacker controlled set of packets can lead to corruption of the GRUB2's internal memory metadata.
