Summary: GRand Unified Bootloader
Description:
GNU GRUB is a multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB. It is an attempt to produce a boot loader for IBM PC-compatible machines that has both the ability to be friendly to beginning or otherwise nontechnically interested users and the flexibility to help experts in diverse environments. It is compatible with Free/Net/OpenBSD and Linux. It supports Win 9x/NT and OS/2 via chainloaders. It has a menu interface and a command line interface. It implements the Multiboot standard, which allows for flexible loading of multiple boot images (needed for modular kernels such as the GNU Hurd).

- CVE-2015-8370: those who have set up GRUB passwords MUST upgrade or find their use of this "protection" inefficient: http://hmarco.org/bugs/CVE-2015-8370-Grub2-authentication-bypass.html (closes: #31631) - added fedora patch to piggyback --unrestricted through CLASS thus changing the default for password-protected menuentry items to request password only when an attempt to change boot parameters is made (but to let the system boot by default); see also http://altlinux.org/grub#password - added upstream texinfo patch to fix FTBFS - explicit BR: texinfo
