The flaw occurs because the file-closing process incorrectly retains a memory pointer, leaving an invalid reference to a file system structure. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause grub to crash, leading to a Denial of Service. Possible data integrity or confidentiality compromise is not discarded.","published":"2025-11-18T19:15:49.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-18T20:10:00.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":4.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"},"cwe":["CWE-825"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00152,"percentile":0.04275,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.15%).
