CVE-2025-54770

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A vulnerability has been identified in the GRUB2 bootloader's network module that poses an immediate Denial of Service (DoS) risk. This flaw is a Use-after-Free issue, caused because the net_set_vlan command is not properly unregistered when the network module is unloaded from memory. An attacker who can execute this command can force the system to access memory locations that are no longer valid. Successful exploitation leads directly to system instability, which can result in a complete crash and halt system availability

      "value": "Se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad en el módulo de red del gestor de arranque GRUB2 que plantea un riesgo inmediato de denegación de servicio (DoS). Este fallo es un problema de uso después de liberación, causado porque el comando net_set_vlan no se anula de registro correctamente cuando el módulo de red se descarga de la memoria. Un atacante que pueda ejecutar este comando puede forzar al sistema a acceder a ubicaciones de memoria que ya no son válidas. La explotación exitosa conduce directamente a la inestabilidad del sistema, lo que puede resultar en un fallo completo y detener la disponibilidad del sistema."
