Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere in systems utilizing LUKS-encrypted disks with GRUB configured for TPM-based auto-decryption. An attacker can access unencrypted data and compromise data confidentiality by corrupting the filesystem's superblock to force GRUB into rescue mode where the decryption key remains in system memory.

Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker has physical access to the system.
