When rendering certain unicode sequences, grub2’s font code doesn’t proper
validate if the informed glyph’s width and height is constrained within
bitmap size. As consequence an attacker can craft an input which will lead
to a out-of-bounds write into grub2’s heap, leading to memory corruption
and availability issues. Although complex, arbitrary code execution could
not be discarded.
