EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.2 : grub2 (EulerOS-SA-2020-2184)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141377

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the grub2 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - A flaw was found in grub2, prior to version 2.06. An attacker may use the GRUB 2 flaw to hijack and tamper the GRUB verification process. This flaw also allows the bypass of Secure Boot protections. In order to load an untrusted or modified kernel, an attacker would first need to establish access to the system such as gaining physical access, obtain the ability to alter a pxe-boot network, or have remote access to a networked system with root access. With this access, an attacker could then craft a string to cause a buffer overflow by injecting a malicious payload that leads to arbitrary code execution within GRUB. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.(CVE-2020-10713)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected grub2 package.
