Summary
CVE-2025-0685 affecting package grub2 for versions less than 2.06-25
Details

A flaw was found in grub2. When reading data from a jfs filesystem, grub's jfs filesystem module uses user-controlled parameters from the filesystem geometry to determine the internal buffer size, however, it improperly checks for integer overflows. A maliciouly crafted filesystem may lead some of those buffer size calculations to overflow, causing it to perform a grubmalloc() operation with a smaller size than expected. As a result, the grubjfslookupsymlink() function will write past the internal buffer length during grubjfsread_file(). This issue can be leveraged to corrupt grub's internal critical data and may result in arbitrary code execution, by-passing secure boot protections.
