CVE-2020-15705 · GRUB2: avoid loading unsigned kernels when GRUB is booted directly under secureboot without shim

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

GRUB2 fails to validate kernel signature when booted directly without shim, allowing secure boot to be bypassed. This only affects systems where the kernel signing certificate has been imported directly into the secure boot database and the GRUB image is booted directly without the use of shim. This issue affects GRUB2 version 2.04 and prior versions.
