CVE-2024-45776 is an integer-overflow vulnerability in GRUB2's gettext catalog loader, specifically grub_mofile_open(). While processing a crafted GNU gettext message catalog, GRUB2 does not validate an overflow in its internal buffer-size calculation. The wrapped allocation size can result in heap-based out-of-bounds reads and writes.
