A flaw was found in grub2 in versions prior to 2.06. 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 which allows an attacker to corrupt memory
by one byte for each quote in the input. The highest threat from this
vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system
availability.

Notes

Author Note
sbeattie grub2-unsigned will contain fixes and supersede grub2, which will contain only BIOS grub bits.
