REDHAT-BUG-2345858
First published: Fri Feb 14 2025(Updated: )
When reading a HFS volume's name at grub_fs_mount(), the HFS filesystem driver performs a strcpy() using the user provided volume name as input without proper validating the volume name's length. This may read to a heap based Out-of-bounds write, impacting on grub's sensitive data integrity and eventually leading to secure boot protection bypass.
