CVE-2022-2601

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, this further leads to a buffer overflow and a heap based out-of-bounds write. An attacker may use this vulnerability to circumvent the secure boot mechanism.

GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn.Briefly, a boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or Linux). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g. GNU).

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found where a maliciously crafted pf2 font could lead to an out-of-bounds write in grub2. A successful attack can lead to memory corruption and secure boot circumvention.(CVE-2022-2601)

A flaw was found in the grub2 font code. When rendering certain unicode sequences, it fails to properly validate the font width and height. These values are further used to access the font buffer, causing possible out-of-bounds writes. A malicious actor may craft a font capable of triggering this issue, allowing modifications in unauthorized memory segments, causing data integrity problems or leading to denial of service.(CVE-2022-3775)

The grub2 packages provide version 2 of the Grand Unified Boot Loader (GRUB), a highly configurable and customizable boot loader with modular architecture. The packages support a variety of kernel formats, file systems, computer architectures, and hardware devices.

Security Fix(es):

• grub2: Buffer overflow in grub_font_construct_glyph() can lead to out-of-bound write and possible secure boot bypass (CVE-2022-2601)

• grub2: Heap based out-of-bounds write when redering certain unicode sequences (CVE-2022-3775)
