NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rear27a package and not the rear27a package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

Relax-and-Recover (aka ReaR) through 2.7 creates a world-readable initrd when using GRUB_RESCUE=y. This allows local attackers to gain access to system secrets otherwise only readable by root.
