The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2023:0752 advisory.

  - A buffer overflow was found in grub_font_construct_glyph(). A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an     overflow when calculating the max_glyph_size value, allocating a smaller than needed buffer for the glyph,     this further leads to a buffer overflow and a heap based out-of-bounds write. An attacker may use this     vulnerability to circumvent the secure boot mechanism. (CVE-2022-2601)

  - When rendering certain unicode sequences, grub2's font code doesn't proper validate if the informed     glyph's width and height is constrained within bitmap size. As consequence an attacker can craft an input     which will lead to a out-of-bounds write into grub2's heap, leading to memory corruption and availability     issues. Although complex, arbitrary code execution could not be discarded. (CVE-2022-3775)

According to the versions of the grub2 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. The cutmem command does not honor secure boot locking     allowing an privileged attacker to remove address ranges from memory creating an opportunity to circumvent     SecureBoot protections after proper triage about grub's memory layout. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-27779)

  - A buffer overflow was found in grub_font_construct_glyph(). A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an     overflow when calculating the max_glyph_size value, allocating a smaller than needed buffer for the glyph,     this further leads to a buffer overflow and a heap based out-of-bounds write.

According to the versions of the grub2 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw in grub2 was found where its configuration file, known as grub.cfg, is being created with the wrong     permission set allowing non privileged users to read its content. This represents a low severity     confidentiality issue, as those users can eventually read any encrypted passwords present in grub.cfg.
    This flaw affects grub2 2.06 and previous versions. This issue has been fixed in grub upstream but no     version with the fix is currently released. (CVE-2021-3981)

  - A buffer overflow was found in grub_font_construct_glyph(). A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an     overflow when calculating the max_glyph_size value, allocating a smaller than needed buffer for the glyph,     this further leads to a buffer overflow and a heap based out-of-bounds write. An attacker may use this     vulnerability to circumvent the secure boot mechanism. (CVE-2022-2601)

The version of grub2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.06-14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2146 advisory.

    A flaw was found in grub 2, where a crafted 16-bit grayscale PNG image may lead to an out-of-bounds write.
    This flaw allows an attacker to corrupt the data on the heap portion of the grub2's memory, leading to     possible code execution and the circumvention of the secure boot mechanism. (CVE-2021-3695)

    A flaw was found in grub2 when handling a PNG image header. When decoding the data contained in the     Huffman table at the PNG file header, an out-of-bounds write may happen on grub's heap. (CVE-2021-3696)

    A flaw was found in grub2 when handling JPEG images. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious     JPEG image, which leads to an underflow on a grub2's internal pointer, leading to a heap-based out-of-     bounds write. Secure-boot mechanisms circumvention and arbitrary code execution may also be achievable.
    (CVE-2021-3697)

    A flaw was found where a maliciously crafted pf2 font could lead to an out-of-bounds write in grub2. A     successful attack can lead to memory corruption and secure boot circumvention. (CVE-2022-2601)

    A flaw was found in grub2 when handling IPv4 packets. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious     packet, triggering an integer underflow in grub code. Consequently, the memory allocation for handling the     packet data may be smaller than the size needed. This issue causes an out-of-bands write during packet     handling, compromising data integrity, confidentiality issues, a denial of service, and remote code     execution. (CVE-2022-28733)

    A flaw was found in grub2 when handling split HTTP headers. While processing a split HTTP header, grub2     wrongly advances its control pointer to the internal buffer by one position, which can lead to an out-of-     bounds write. This flaw allows an attacker to leverage this issue by crafting a malicious set of HTTP     packages making grub2 corrupt its internal memory metadata structure. This leads to data integrity and     confidentiality issues or forces grub to crash, resulting in a denial of service attack. (CVE-2022-28734)

    A flaw was found in grub2. The shim_lock verifier from grub2 allows non-kernel files to be loaded when     secure boot is enabled, giving the possibility of unverified code or modules to be loaded when it should     not be allowed. (CVE-2022-28735)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found on grub2's chainloader command. This flaw allows an attacker to     gain access to restricted data or cause arbitrary code execution if they can establish control from grub's     memory allocation pattern. (CVE-2022-28736)

    A flaw was found in the grub2 font code. When rendering certain unicode sequences, it fails to properly     validate the font width and height. These values are further used to access the font buffer, causing     possible out-of-bounds writes. A malicious actor may craft a font capable of triggering this issue,     allowing modifications in unauthorized memory segments, causing data integrity problems or leading to     denial of service.

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5041773. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows based systems supporting Virtualization Based     Security (VBS) including a subset of Azure Virtual Machine SKUS. This can allow an attacker with     administrator privileges to replace current versions of Windows system files with outdated versions. By     exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could reintroduce previously mitigated vulnerabilities,     circumvent some features of VBS, and exfiltrate data protected by VBS. (CVE-2024-21302)

  - A buffer overflow was found in grub_font_construct_glyph(). A malicious crafted pf2 font can lead to an     overflow when calculating the max_glyph_size value, allocating a smaller than needed buffer for the glyph,     this further leads to a buffer overflow and a heap based out-of-bounds write.

  - A remote code execution vulnerability was found in Shim. The Shim boot support trusts attacker-controlled     values when parsing an HTTP response. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a specific malicious HTTP     request, leading to a completely controlled out-of-bounds write primitive and complete system compromise.
    This flaw is only exploitable during the early boot phase, an attacker needs to perform a Man-in-the-     Middle or compromise the boot server to be able to exploit this vulnerability successfully.
