Dist Fedora Esm H88
Tackling vulnerabilities in grub2 on Fedora 30, focusing on memory management flaws and automating boot entries. Keep informed!
In systemd: backport of bunch of patches from the v242 release

Summary

The GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) is a highly configurable and

customizable bootloader with modular architecture. It supports a rich

variety of kernel formats, file systems, computer architectures and

hardware devices.

In systemd: backport of bunch of patches from the v242 release. Most important:

- kernel-install will not create the boot loader entry automatically - a memory

leak is fixed. In grub2: - 10_linux_bls: don't add --users option to generated

menu entries (#1693515) - Only set blsdir if /boot/loader/entries is in a btrfs

or zfs partition (#1688453) - Fix some BLS snippets not being displayed in the

GRUB menu (#1691232) - Never remove boot loader configuration for other boot

loaders from the ESP (#1648907) - Do not mask systemd's kernel-install

scriptlets. No need to log out or reboot.
