From: Chris Coulson <chris.coulson@canonical.com>
grub_parser_split_cmdline() expands variable names present in the
supplied
command line in to their corresponding variable contents and uses a 1 kiB
stack buffer for temporary storage without sufficient bounds checking. If
the function is called with a command line that references a variable
with
a sufficiently large payload, it is possible to overflow the stack
buffer via tab completion, corrupt the stack frame and potentially
control execution.
Fixes: CVE-2020-27749
