Title:
  Grub2:  segmentation fault during install

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Debian (or Ubuntu) have a patch in source repository (named 07_core_in_fs.diff)
  which have a BUG

  + fp = fopen (DEFAULT_DIRECTORY "/" CORE_IMG_IN_FS, "w");
  + fclose (fp);

  1. It does not check for fp value after opening. If running grub not under root, segmentation fault generated.
  2. It touches HOST boot logick even when installing GRUB into image file.

  P.S. What purpose of this patch ? it adds/removes a file which is not
  used anywhere. I think You should just remove this patch. Notify me if
  this patch is upstream (debian)
