CVE-2020-10565
Last modified
CVE-2020-10565 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. grub2-bhyve, as used in FreeBSD bhyve before revision 525916 2020-02-12, does not validate the address provided as part of a memrw command (read_* or write_*) by a guest through a grub2.cfg file. This allows an untrusted guest to perform arbitrary read or write operations in the context of the grub-bhyve process, resulting in code execution as root on the host OS.. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
