The gettext module does not entirely cleanup after itself in
its GRUB_MOD_FINI() leaving a few variables hooks in place.
It is not possible to unload gettext module because normal
module depends on it. Though fix the issues for completeness.

It was possible to overflow the value of mod->ref_count, a signed
integer, by repeatedly invoking insmod on an already loaded module.
This led to a use-after-free. As once ref_count was overflowed it became
possible to unload the module while there was still references to it.
This resolves the issue by using grub_add() to check if the ref_count
will overflow and then stops further increments. Further changes were
also made to grub_dl_unref() to check for the underflow condition and
the reference count was changed to an unsigned 64-bit integer.

An overly long filename can be passed to tftp_open() which would cause
grub_normalize_filename() to write out of bounds.
Fixed by adding an extra argument to grub_normalize_filename() for the
space available, making it act closer to a strlcpy(). As several fixed
strings are strcpy()'d after into the same buffer, their total length is
checked to see if they exceed the remaining space in the buffer. If so,
return an error.
On the occasion simplify code a bit by removing unneeded rrqlen zeroing.

The function included a call to grub_strcpy() which copied data from an
environment variable to a buffer allocated in grub_cmd_normal(). The
grub_cmd_normal() didn't consider the length of the environment variable.
So, the copy operation could exceed the allocation and lead to an OOB
write. Fix the issue by replacing grub_strcpy() with grub_strlcpy() and
pass the underlying buffers size to the grub_net_search_config_file().

The grub_file_open() and grub_file_close() should be the only places
that allow a reference to a filesystem to stay open. So, add grub_dl_t
to grub_fs_t and set this in the GRUB_MOD_INIT() for each filesystem to
avoid issues when filesystems forget to do it themselves or do not track
their own references, e.g. squash4.
The fs_label(), fs_uuid(), fs_mtime() and fs_read() should all ref and
unref in the same function but it is essentially redundant in GRUB
single threaded model.

Right now to access the next attribute the code reads the length of the

prone as bounds checking needs to be performed all over the place. So,
implement a helper and ensure its used across find_attr() and read_attr().

- implementing checks as init_attr() had its type change in its callers,
- updating the value of at->end when needed.
