Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the grub-core/gettext process. An attacker can manipulate memory and potentially execute arbitrary code by exploiting the integer overflow to trigger a heap out-of-bounds write.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the attacker has high-level privileges.
