CVE-2025-61662High

An attacker can exploit a flaw in GRUB's gettext module to crash the system, leading to a Denial of Service. This happens because the system mistakenly keeps a command in memory after it should have been removed, allowing the attacker to trigger errors when that command is called.

CVE-2021-35942Critical

This vulnerability allows an attacker to crash applications or read sensitive information from memory by providing a specially crafted input to the wordexp function in the GNU C Library. It can be exploited when the function is used with untrusted data, potentially leading to service disruptions or data leaks.
