GRUB is the GRand Unified Bootloader. Briefly, bootloader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software (such as NetBSD or Linux). GRUB understands ffs, FAT{16,32}, ext2fs, ReiserFS, minixfs, and VSTafs. It can directly boot NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux without any other bootloader, loading a.out and ELF kernels from the disk and passing along necessary arguments (in most cases). It can also boot any operating system (the above, plus e.g. Windows, OS/2) by chaining to that operating system's specific loader. Grub features a runtime command line and loads its configuration at boot rather than requiring rerunning of a separate utility. Other features are TFTP booting, serial console support, large disk support, support for both DOS MBR label and BSD disklabel simultaneously, booting from hard drive or floppy. GRUB is available for the i386 architecture only.

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
