Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write due to an integer overflow in the grub_mofile_open function. An attacker can leak sensitive data or overwrite critical data by supplying a crafted .mo file.

Note:

This is only exploitable if secure boot protections are circumvented.
