When grub2 (i386-pc) is built with -O2 or -O3 it is unable to boot
and the system will reboot in a loop.
Tony Battersby has bisected [0] the error down to this security bugfix:
boot/grub2/0132-kern-parser-Fix-a-stack-buffer-overflow.patch
There is also a bug report by Peter Seiderer about this [1].
As discussed on the mailing list [2], this patch introduces a workaround
in the grub2.mk overriding the global optimization settings with -Os
which results in a booting system.

CVE-2020-14372 grub2: The acpi command allows privileged user to load crafted
ACPI tables when Secure Boot is enabled
CWE-184
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
GRUB2 enables the use of the command acpi even when Secure Boot is signaled by
the firmware. An attacker with local root privileges to can drop a small SSDT
in /boot/efi and modify grub.cfg to instruct grub to load said SSDT. The SSDT
then gets run by the kernel and it overwrites the kernel lock down configuration
enabling the attacker to load unsigned kernel modules and kexec unsigned code.

CWE-416
7.5/CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
The rmmod implementation for GRUB2 is flawed, allowing an attacker to unload

still loaded. This leads to an use-after-free scenario possibly allowing an
attacker to execute arbitrary code and by-pass Secure Boot protections.

6.9/CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
grub_usb_device_initialize() is called to handle USB device initialization. It
reads out the descriptors it needs from the USB device and uses that data to
fill in some USB data structures. grub_usb_device_initialize() performs very
little bounds checking and simply assumes the USB device provides sane values.
This behavior can trigger memory corruption. If properly exploited, this would
lead to arbitrary code execution allowing the attacker to by-pass Secure Boot

grub_parser_split_cmdline() expands variable names present in the supplied
command line in to their corresponding variable contents and uses a 1kB stack
buffer for temporary storage without sufficient bounds checking. If the
function is called with a command line that references a variable with a
sufficiently large payload, it is possible to overflow the stack buffer,

Fixes the following security issues:
* CVE-2020-10713
A flaw was found in grub2, prior to version 2.06. An attacker may
use the GRUB 2 flaw to hijack and tamper the GRUB verification
process. This flaw also allows the bypass of Secure Boot
protections. In order to load an untrusted or modified kernel, an
attacker would first need to establish access to the system such as
gaining physical access, obtain the ability to alter a pxe-boot
network, or have remote access to a networked system with root
access. With this access, an attacker could then craft a string to
cause a buffer overflow by injecting a malicious payload that leads
to arbitrary code execution within GRUB. The highest threat from
this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well
as system availability.
* CVE-2020-14308
In grub2 versions before 2.06 the grub memory allocator doesn't
check for possible arithmetic overflows on the requested allocation
size. This leads the function to return invalid memory allocations
which can be further used to cause possible integrity,
confidentiality and availability impacts during the boot process.
* CVE-2020-14309
There's an issue with grub2 in all versions before 2.06 when
handling squashfs filesystems containing a symbolic link with name
length of UINT32 bytes in size. The name size leads to an
arithmetic overflow leading to a zero-size allocation further
causing a heap-based buffer overflow with attacker controlled data.
* CVE-2020-14310
An integer overflow in read_section_from_string may lead to a heap
based buffer overflow.
* CVE-2020-14311
An integer overflow in grub_ext2_read_link may lead to a heap-based
buffer overflow.
* CVE-2020-15706
GRUB2 contains a race condition in grub_script_function_create()
leading to a use-after-free vulnerability which can be triggered by
redefining a function whilst the same function is already
executing, leading to arbitrary code execution and secure boot
restriction bypass
* CVE-2020-15707
Integer overflows were discovered in the functions grub_cmd_initrd
and grub_initrd_init in the efilinux component of GRUB2, as shipped
in Debian, Red Hat, and Ubuntu (the functionality is not included
in GRUB2 upstream), leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. These
could be triggered by an extremely large number of arguments to the
initrd command on 32-bit architectures, or a crafted filesystem
with very large files on any architecture. An attacker could use
this to execute arbitrary code and bypass UEFI Secure Boot
restrictions. This issue affects GRUB2 version 2.04 and prior
versions.

Backport a patch from upstream to fix the build on certain versions of
gsc, notably:
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 8.3.0-26ubuntu1~19.10) 8.3.0
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2) 9.2.1 20191008
The upstream patch is simply a change in the gentpl.py script, which is
used to generate parts of the automake machinery, so if we just backport
the upstream patch, we need to call the script to regenerate those files.
However, the modified script is a python script, so we would need to add
a dependency on host-python (2 or 3), which is not so nice.
Furthermore, calling the script is not enough: it needs a specific set
of optionss for each file it is to generate. That set of options is not
static; it is constructed in the convoluted autogen.sh. Calling
autogen.sh is usally not so good an idea in the Buildroot context, and
indeed this fails becasue it calls to autoreconf, but without our
carefuly crafted options and environment variables.
There was a little light in the tunnel, in that autogen.sh can be told
not to run autoreconf, by setting the environemnt variable
FROM_BOOTSTRAP to an non-=empty string, but this is fraught with various
other side-effects, as in that cause, autogen.sh expects to be valled by
an upper sciopt, bootstrap, which is not provided in the tarball
distribution...
So, between all those issues, autogen, bootstrap, and a host-python (2
or 3) dependency, we choose another route: path the script *and* the one
generated file affected by the change. Since that patched file is a .am
file, we also patch the corresponding .in file
However, we're faced with another issue: the other generated file is
now older than the script, so the automake machinery will now want to
re-run autoconf et al during the build step, which is still not a good
idea for us. So we touch the other generated file so it is mopre recent
than the script.
This is still not sufficient, because the patched file also has a
dependency on the generated file, so we need to touch as well.

This commit enables the arm-uboot, arm-efi and aarch64-efi grub2
platforms in Buildroot.
With the uboot platform, the grub2 image gets built as a u-boot image
and is loaded from u-boot through a regular "bootm". The only
requirement from the u-boot side in order to allow this is that u-boot
is built with CONFIG_API enabled. CONFIG_API seems to not be enabled
by default in most in-tree configurations, however, it seems to be
available for quite some time now. So it might be possible to use this
even on older u-boot versions. This is available only for arm
(32-bit).
With the efi platform, grub2 gets built as an EFI executable. This
allows EFI firmware to find and load it similarly as it can be done
for x86_64. Also, since u-boot v2016.05, u-boot is able to load and
boot an EFI executable, so the uboot efi platform can also be used
from u-boot in recent versions. This has been enabled (mostly) by
default for ARM u-boot. efi platform is available for both arm and
aarch64.

grub2 requires the host grub2-mkimage tool to build some of its target
images. The current way of building this tool in the grub2 package is
to perform a simultaneous host-tools/target-bootloader build during
the grub2 build step.
This method makes the recipe complex to understand, and proved to be a
complication during the work to enable grub2 support for architectures
other than x86.

After many years since the last release and a long time with grub 2.02

grub2's build system interprets CC, CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS as for the host

While we're at it, also pass TARGET_LDFLAGS.
This problem had not been noticed up to now because usually we build on

$(call DOWNLOAD,$($(PKG)_SITE:/=)/$($(PKG)_SOURCE))
so it is redundant.
This patch removes it from $(PKG)_SITE variable for BR consistency.

The help text of grub2 explains the detailed steps to create a disk
image with grub2 installed on it. However, the steps for the
BIOS-based systems have a few minor issues fixed by this patch:
- When calling partx to get the partitions detected, we should do it
on the /dev/loop0 block device, and not on the underlying disk.img
image file.
- The grub-bios-setup utility must be called as root to work properly
on /dev/loop0.
- The steps to cleanup the partx and loop device were missing.

Since boot partition was not specified, grub tools try to detect it
automatically. This patch add an option to force it.

Grub 2 has been marked BROKEN in June 2010, and nobody cared to fix it
since then.
At that time, it was marked broken because the build process needed a
Ruby interpreter available on the host, and it's really a pain that
building a bootloader needs such a thing.
I've tried to upgrade the package to Grub2 1.99-rcX, and now it does
not need a Ruby interpreter anymore, but instead requires a tool
called "autogen", which itself needs the Guile Scheme interpreter.
Since we haven't heard any complaints about Grub2 being marked broken,
and since it's such a pain to package, let's get rid of it. Of course,
anybody interested in Grub2 is invited to contribute a working
package.

Now that TARGET_CC contains several space-separated words, it must be
used quoted everywhere.

The build process of grub2 breaks the compilation. It breaks with:
./configure: line 4766: syntax error near unexpected token `external'
./configure: line 4766: `AM_GNU_GETTEXT(external)'
In addition to this, it later requires Ruby. Do we really want to make
Buildroot depend on Ruby being installed on the host ? Do we really
want to build our own Ruby ? Do we even care about Grub2 ?

Much of the grub2.mk seems to have been copy/pasted from
grub.mk. However, all the network/splashimage related ./configure
options do not exist in grub2.

grub2 now builds fine, but some work remains to make it usable. What
should be installed exactly in the TARGET_DIR ? What is the
installation procedure and what should Buildroot do ?
