CVE-2024-45779

MEDIUM CVSS: 6.0 Published: 2025-03-03 Modified: 2026-06-29

Description

An integer overflow flaw was found in the BFS file system driver in grub2. When reading a file with an indirect extent map, grub2 fails to validate the number of extent entries to be read. A crafted or corrupted BFS filesystem may cause an integer overflow during the file reading, leading to a heap of bounds read. As a consequence, sensitive data may be leaked, or grub2 will crash.

Affected Platforms

Gnu Grub2

Weakness Type
