NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream shim-ia32 package and not the shim-ia32 package as distributed by Rocky-Linux.

A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The option parser allows an attacker to write past the end of a heap-allocated buffer by calling certain commands with a large number of specific short forms of options. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
