I doubt this vulnerability exists though it is my opinion of it. And like it is stated, it's a non-story.
If a "hacker" can get physical access to the machine then it is already vulnerable. Control-Alt-Delete and then 'F1', 'F2', 'F10', 'F12', 'Esc', 'Delete' or what ever your systems' key combination for BIOS Access is, change a few BIOS Entries and then Reboot. They will have full access afterwards if they boot up from CD/DVD or Thumb Drive. Want to post this as a vulnerability? I almost did.

1. That URL
should be taken out and shot.
2. Also, loading it takes one to a LinkedIn
login dialogue for one Ruben
Safir, and I
gather that it cannot be read except after logging into
LinkedIn.
FYI,
there was actually decent coverage and discussion of the
GRUB2
'vulnerability', noting
correctly that this is inherently pretty much a
non-story. https://lwn.net/Articles/668695/
So, you basically referred
people to a LinkedIn walled garden for
probable bullshit coverage of a non-story
better put into proper
perspective
elsewhere. Nice!
Fallen
in love with proprietary Internet sources for regurgitation
of
other people's news coverage, have
we?
