Unknown · Relax-And-Recover · CVE-2024-23301
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Relax-and-Recover (aka ReaR) versions 2.7 and earlier **Description** The issue is related to information disclosure. It allows local attackers to gain access to system secrets that are otherwise only readable by root. This occurs when using GRUB RESCUE=y, which creates a world-readable initrd. **Recommendations** For Relax-and-Recover (aka ReaR) versions 2.7 and earlier, consider disabling the use of GRUB RESCUE=y until a patch is available to prevent the creation of a world-readable initrd. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive system secrets to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
