Title: High-risk vulnerability
Post by: yeraycito on July 30, 2020, 03:32:44 pm

A team of cybersecurity researchers today disclosed details of a new high-risk vulnerability affecting billions of devices worldwide—including servers and workstations, laptops, desktops, and IoT systems running nearly any Linux distribution or Windows system.
Dubbed 'BootHole' and tracked as CVE-2020-10713, the reported vulnerability resides in the GRUB2 bootloader, which, if exploited, could potentially let attackers bypass the Secure Boot feature and gain high-privileged persistent and stealthy access to the targeted systems.

Shouldn't this be in general discussion to avoid a general panic? (we do not use grub)
