NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-powerpc-ieee1275 package and not the grub2-powerpc-ieee1275 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the BFS file system driver in grub2. When reading a file with an indirect extent map, grub2 fails to validate the number of extent entries to be read. A crafted or corrupted BFS filesystem may cause an integer overflow during the file reading, leading to a heap of bounds read. As a consequence, sensitive data may be leaked, or grub2 will crash.
