CVE-2020-14372 grub2: acpi command allows privileged user to load crafted
ACPI tables when secure boot is enabled
CWE-184
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
GRUB2 enables the use of the command acpi even when secure boot is
signaled by the firmware. An attacker with local root privileges to
can drop a small SSDT in /boot/efi and modify grub.cfg to instruct
grub to load said SSDT. The SSDT then gets run by the kernel and it
overwrites the kernel lockdown configuration enabling the attacker to
load unsigned kernel modules and kexec unsigned code.
====================================================================
CVE-2020-25632 grub2: use-after-free in rmmod command
CWE-416
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
The rmmod implementation for grub2 is flawed, allowing an attacker to
unload a module used as dependency without checking if any other
dependent module is still loaded. This leads to an use-after-free
scenario possibly allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code and
by-pass Secure Boot protections.
====================================================================
CVE-2020-25647 grub2: out-of-bound write in grub_usb_device_initialize()
CWE-787
6.9/CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
grub_usb_device_initialize() is called to handle USB device
initialization. it reads out the descriptors it needs from the USB
device and uses that data to fill in some USB data
structures. grub_usb_device_initialize() performs very little bounds
checking and simply assumes the USB device provides sane values. This
behavior can trigger memory corruption. If properly exploited, this
would lead to arbitrary code execution allowing the attacker to
by-pass SecureBoot mechanism.

CVE-2020-27749 grub2: Stack buffer overflow in grub_parser_split_cmdline
CWE-121
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
grub_parser_split_cmdline expands variable names present in the
supplied command line in to their corresponding variable contents and
uses a 1kB stack buffer for temporary storage without sufficient
bounds checking. If the function is called with a command line that
references a variable with a sufficiently large payload, it is
possible to overflow the stack buffer, corrupt the stack frame and
control execution. An attacker may use this to circumvent Secure Boot
protections.
====================================================================
CVE-2020-27779 grub2: cutmem command allows privileged user to remove
memory regions when Secure Boot is enabled
CWE-285
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
The grub2's cutmem command does not honor secure boot locking. This
allows an privileged attacker to remove address ranges from memory
creating an opportunity to circumvent SecureBoot protections after
proper triage about grub's memory layout.
====================================================================
CVE-2021-20225 grub2: heap out-of-bounds write in short form option parser
CWE-787
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
The option parser in grub2 allows an attacker to write past the end of
a heap-allocated buffer by calling certain commands with a large
number of specific short forms of options.
====================================================================
CVE-2021-20233 grub2: heap out-of-bound write due to mis-calculation of
space required for quoting
CWE-787
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
There's a flaw on grub2 menu rendering code setparam_prefix() in the
menu rendering code performs a length calculation on the assumption
that expressing a quoted single quote will require 3 characters, while
it actually requires 4 characters. This allow an attacker to corrupt
memory by one byte for each quote in the input.
I have added grub-2.06~rc1 to the gentoo repository today. Let's give it a week for people to test it. x86 done ppc stable amd64 stable ppc64 stable arm64 done sparc done all arches done Please cleanup.
