Apocalyptic: "In the course of Eclypsium’s analysis, we have identified a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way that GRUB2 parses content from the GRUB2 config file (grub.cfg)."
snsabot: Logged on 2020-05-05 12:51:05 asciilifeform: violadivias: the 'attack resistance' in the linked piece is an artful distraction/disinfo. cr50 is there specifically to prevent the owner of the machine from getting 100% control over it.
Apocalyptic: my understanding is that the buffer overflow is independent from 'SecureBoot', but enabling the attack, still lulzy though
Apocalyptic: against the whole "signed by CAs" shitshow that occurs in SecureBoot, supposedly
Apocalyptic: "To dig a little deeper into the vulnerability itself, we’ll take a closer look at how the code works internally. In order to process commands from the external configuration file, GRUB2 uses flex and bison to generate a parsing engine for a domain-specific language (DSL) from language description files and helper functions." this also is telling what a pile of shit grub2 is
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, you switched to lilo on all irons ?
