Security Fix(es):
grub2: A flaw was found in the grub2 font code. When rendering certain unicode sequences, it fails to properly validate the font width and height. These values are further used to access the font buffer, causing possible out-of-bounds writes. A malicious actor may craft a font capable of triggering this issue, allowing modifications in unauthorized memory segments, causing data integrity problems or leading to denial of service.(CVE-2022-3775)
grub2: bugfix
glibc: An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the ISO-2022-CN-EXT plugin for glibc's iconv library. When converting from UCS4 charset, adding certain escape charterers is required to indicate where the charset was changed to the library. During this process, iconv improperly checks the boundaries of internal buffers, leading to a buffer overflow, which allows writing up to 3 bytes outside the desired memory location. This issue may allow an attacker to craft a malicious characters sequence that will trigger the out-of-bounds write and perform remote code execution, presenting a high impact to the Integrity, Confidentiality, and Availability triad.(CVE-2024-2961)
glibc: bugfix
