Summary
The grub2 packages provide version 2 of the Grand Unified Boot Loader (GRUB), a highly configurable and customizable boot loader with modular architecture. The packages support a variety of kernel formats, file systems, computer architectures, and hardware devices.
The shim package contains a first-stage UEFI boot loader that handles chaining to a trusted full boot loader under secure boot environments.
Security Fix(es):
* grub2: Integer underflow in grub_net_recv_ip4_packets (CVE-2022-28733)
* grub2: Crafted PNG grayscale images may lead to out-of-bounds write in heap (CVE-2021-3695)
* grub2: Crafted PNG image may lead to out-of-bound write during huffman table handling (CVE-2021-3696)
* grub2: Crafted JPEG image can lead to buffer underflow write in the heap (CVE-2021-3697)
* grub2: Out-of-bound write when handling split HTTP headers (CVE-2022-28734)
* grub2: shim_lock verifier allows non-kernel files to be loaded (CVE-2022-28735)
* grub2: use-after-free in grub_cmd_chainloader() (CVE-2022-28736)
* shim: Buffer overflow when loading crafted EFI images (CVE-2022-28737)

High 8.1
Integer underflow in grub_net_recv_ip4_packets
Integer underflow in grub_net_recv_ip4_packets; A malicious crafted IP packet can lead to an integer underflow in grub_net_recv_ip4_packets() function on rsm->total_len value. Under certain circumstances the total_len value may end up wrapping around to a sma…

High 8.1
Out-of-bounds write when handling split HTTP headers
Out-of-bounds write when handling split HTTP headers; When handling split HTTP headers, GRUB2 HTTP code accidentally moves its internal data buffer point by one position. This can lead to a out-of-bound write further when parsing the HTTP request, writing a N…

There's a possible overflow in handle_image() when shim tries to load and execute crafted EFI executables
There's a possible overflow in handle_image() when shim tries to load and execute crafted EFI executables; The handle_image() function takes into account the SizeOfRawData field from each section to be loaded. An attacker can leverage this to perform out-of-b…
