EulerOS 2.0 SP10 : grub2 (EulerOS-SA-2024-1084)

high Nessus Plugin ID 188902

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the grub2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in grub2's NTFS filesystem driver. This issue may allow an attacker to present a specially crafted NTFS filesystem image, leading to grub's heap metadata corruption. In some circumstances, the attack may also corrupt the UEFI firmware heap metadata. As a result, arbitrary code execution and secure boot protection bypass may be achieved. (CVE-2023-4692)

 - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found on grub2's NTFS filesystem driver. This issue may allow a physically present attacker to present a specially crafted NTFS file system image to read arbitrary memory locations.
 A successful attack allows sensitive data cached in memory or EFI variable values to be leaked, presenting a high Confidentiality risk. (CVE-2023-4693)

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 packages.
