CVE-2020-14311 MEDIUM

Published: 2020-07-31 | Last Modified: 2024-11-21 | Status: Modified

Description

There is an issue with grub2 before version 2.06 while handling symlink on ext filesystems. A filesystem containing a symbolic link with an inode size of UINT32_MAX causes an arithmetic overflow leading to a zero-sized memory allocation with subsequent heap-based buffer overflow.

Additional Descriptions (1)

Un sistema de archivos que contiene un enlace simbólico con un tamaño de inode de UINT32_MAX causa un desbordamiento aritmético conllevando a una asignación de memoria de tamaño cero con el posterior desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria
