[Bug 2012972] Re: grub2 bug preventing loading kernels

[Aleksandar Atanasovski]

** Description changed:

  Hello everyone,
  
  I found a critical bug in your latest version of grub2 (2.06) that prevents loading some types of kernel.
  I attached a proposed fix.
+ 
+ In some kernels header size by specification can be less than "sizeof"
+ header struct. In original GRUB 2.06 source code there is same condition
+ which is missing in your version.
  
  You're welcome to contact me for more info,
  
  Cheers,
  
  Aleksandar
