CVE-2020-14308 MEDIUM

Published: 2020-07-29 | Last Modified: 2024-11-21 | Status: Modified

Description

In grub2 versions before 2.06 the grub memory allocator doesn't check for possible arithmetic overflows on the requested allocation size. This leads the function to return invalid memory allocations which can be further used to cause possible integrity, confidentiality and availability impacts during the boot process.

Additional Descriptions (1)

En grub2 versiones anteriores a 2.06, el asignador de memoria grub no comprueba posibles desbordamientos aritméticos en el tamaño de asignación solicitada. Esto conlleva a la función a devolver asignaciones de memoria no válidas que puedan ser usadas para causar posibles impactos de integridad, confidencialidad y disponibilidad durante el proceso de arranque
