      <title>CVE-2023-4001 — Grub2: bypass the grub password protection feature</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-4001</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 Extended Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An authentication bypass flaw was found in GRUB due to the way that GRUB uses the UUID of a device to search for the configuration file that contains the password hash for the GRUB password protection feature. An attacker capable of attaching an external drive such as a USB stick containing a file system with a duplicate UUID (the same as in the &amp;#34;/boot/&amp;#34; file system) can bypass the GRUB password protection feature on UEFI systems, which enumerate removable drives before non-removable ones. This issue was introduced in a downstream patch in Red Hat&amp;#39;s version of grub2 and does not affect the upstream package.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
