Grub2: missing unregister call for normal commands may lead to use-after-free
CVE-2025-61663 is fixed in 25 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2025-61663, released November 18, 2025. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A vulnerability has been identified in the GRUB2 bootloader's normal command that poses an immediate Denial of Service (DoS) risk. This flaw is a Use-after-Free issue, caused because the normal command is not properly unregistered when the module is unloaded. An attacker who can execute this command can force the system to access memory locations that are no longer valid.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. Impact on the data integrity and confidentiality is also not discarded.
