What is CVE-2025-61664?

A memory Use After Free vulnerability has been discovered in the normal module of the GRUB2 bootloader. This issue arises when the normal_exit command fails to unregister properly once the associated module is unloaded. Consequently, if an attacker invokes this command after the module has been removed, the system may attempt to access a memory location that has already been freed. This can lead to system crashes and poses risks to data confidentiality and integrity.
