CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: grub2 (CVE-2022-28733)

high Nessus Plugin ID 201670

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of grub2 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-28733 advisory.

 - Integer underflow in grub_net_recv_ip4_packets; A malicious crafted IP packet can lead to an integer underflow in grub_net_recv_ip4_packets() function on rsm->total_len value. Under certain circumstances the total_len value May end up wrapping around to a small integer number which will be used in memory allocation. If the attack succeeds in such way, subsequent operations can write past the end of the buffer. (CVE-2022-28733)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
