Debian DSA-5280-1 : grub2 - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 167746

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5280 advisory.

 - 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the grub2 packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2.06-3~deb11u4.
