Description

The grub_ext2_read_block function in fs/ext2.c in GNU GRUB before 2013-11-12, as used in shlr/grub/fs/ext2.c in radare2 1.5.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive stack use and application crash) via a crafted binary file, related to use of a variable-size stack array.

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-grub2-x86_64-efi
  • suse-upgrade-grub2-x86_64-xen
