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:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNU GRUB (aka GRUB2) through 2.12 does not use a constant-time algorithm for grub_crypto_memcmp and thus allows side-channel attacks.
