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.

HIGH 7.0EPSS 1.12%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

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 NULL byte past the buffer. It's conceivable that an attacker controlled set of packets can lead to corruption of the GRUB2's internal memory metadata.
