Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Trusted Firmware-A up to 2.9 (Firmware Software). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function sdei_interrupt_bind of the component SDEI Service. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) before 2.10 has a potential read out-of-bounds in the SDEI service. The input parameter passed in register x1 is not validated well enough in the function sdei_interrupt_bind. The parameter is passed to a call to plat_ic_get_interrupt_type. It can be any arbitrary value passing checks in the function plat_ic_is_sgi. A compromised Normal World (Linux kernel) can enable a root-privileged attacker to issue arbitrary SMC calls. Using this primitive, he can control the content of registers x0 through x6, which are used to send parameters to TF-A. Out-of-bounds addresses can be read in the context of TF-A (EL3). Because the read value is never returned to non-secure memory or in registers, no leak is possible. An attacker can still crash TF-A, however.

The weakness was presented 02/21/2024. The advisory is available at trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2023-49100 since 11/21/2023. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

Upgrading to version 2.10 eliminates this vulnerability.
