+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2024-56738
+
+Backport an algorithmic change to grub_crypto_memcmp() so that it completes in
+constant time and thus isn't susceptible to side-channel attacks.
+
+This is a partial backport of grub 0739d24cd
+("libgcrypt: Adjust import script, definitions and API users for libgcrypt 1.11")
+
+CVE: CVE-2024-56738
+Upstream-Status: Backport [0739d24cd]
