Description Marco Benatto 2021-02-08 14:18:19 UTC 
There's a flaw on grub2 menu rendering code setparam_prefix() in the menu rendering code performs a length calculation on the assumption that expressing a quoted single quote will require 3 characters, while it actually requires 4 characters. This allow an attacker to corrupt memory by one byte for each quote in the input.
