FKIE_CVE-2026-25828

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-12 22:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:25
Severity
5.4 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
Summary
grub-btrfs through 2026-01-31 (on Arch Linux and derivative distributions) allows initramfs OS command injection because it does not sanitize the $root parameter to resolve_device(). NOTE: a third party reports "exploitation may not be feasible under normal conditions and may depend on specific implementation details within resolve_device."
