CVE-2021-3981

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

A flaw in grub2 was found where its configuration file, known as grub.cfg, is being created with the wrong permission set allowing non privileged users to read its content.

This issue has been fixed in grub upstream but no version with the fix is currently released.
