CVE-2024-45782

A buffer overflow was found in grub_font_construct_glyph(). A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an overflow when calculating the max_glyph_size value, allocating a smaller than needed buffer for the glyph.

A Use-After-Free vulnerability has been discovered in GRUB's gettext module. The flaw occurs because the gettext command remains registered in memory after its module is unloaded. An attacker can invoke the orphaned command, causing access to an invalid memory location.

A vulnerability has been identified in the GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader) component due to improper string conversion when reading data from a USB device. A local attacker can connect a maliciously configured USB device during boot sequence, causing GRUB to crash and leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). Data corruption may also be possible, but due to exploit complexity the impact is likely limited.

In systems using LUKS-encrypted disks with GRUB configured for TPM-based auto-decryption, an attacker with physical access can corrupt the filesystem superblock. This forces GRUB into rescue mode while the decryption key remains in memory, allowing access to unencrypted data without authentication.

In the GRUB HFS+ module, an integer overflow vulnerability occurs when calculating buffer sizes based on user-controlled filesystem metadata. This can lead to allocating a smaller buffer than needed and subsequent out-of-bounds write in the hfsplus_open_compressed_real() function.

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the UDF filesystem module of GRUB allows an attacker to bypass Secure Boot protections. By crafting a malicious filesystem image, arbitrary code execution can be achieved during the boot process.
