REDHAT-BUG-2337461
First published: Mon Jan 13 2025(Updated: )
Extra SOF0 marker in JPEG file may lead to a out-of-bounds write. An attacker may leverage this by crafting a malicious JPEG file, leading the grub's JPEG parser to fail the bounds checking in its internal buffer resulting in a out-of-bounds memory write. The possibility of overwriting sensitive information in order to bypass secure boot protections are not discarded.
