CVE-2025-0689
March 03, 2025
A flaw was found in grub2. When reading data from disk, the grub's UDF filesystem module utilizes
the user controlled data length metadata to allocate its internal
buffers. In certain scenarios, while iterating through disk sectors,
it assumes the read size from the disk is always smaller than the
allocated buffer size which is not guaranteed. A crafted filesystem
image may lead to a heap-based buffer overflow resulting in critical
data to be corrupted, resulting in the risk of arbitrary code
execution by-passing secure boot protections.
