Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Renesas rcar_gen3_v2.5 up to c9fb3558410032d2660c7f3b7d4b87dec09fe2f2. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a write-what-where condition vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-123. Any condition where the attacker has the ability to write an arbitrary value to an arbitrary location, often as the result of a buffer overflow. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in Renesas arm-trusted-firmware allows Local Execution of Code. This vulnerability is associated with program files https://github.Com/renesas-rcar/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/rcar_gen3_v2.5/drivers/renesas/common/io/i... https://github.Com/renesas-rcar/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/rcar_gen3_v2.5/drivers/renesas/common/io/io_rcar.C . In line 313 "addr_loaded_cnt" is checked not to be "CHECK_IMAGE_AREA_CNT" (5) or larger, this check does not halt the function. Immediately after (line 317) there will be an overflow in the buffer and the value of "dst" will be written to the area immediately after the buffer, which is "addr_loaded_cnt". This will allow an attacker to freely control the value of "addr_loaded_cnt" and thus control the destination of the write immediately after (line 318). The write in line 318 will then be fully controlled by said attacker, with whichever address and whichever value ("len") they desire.

The weakness was shared by Ilay Levi as 235f85b654a031f7647e81b86fc8e4ffeb430164. The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2024-6563 since 07/08/2024. The exploitation is known to be difficult. Local access is required to approach this attack. Additional levels of successful authentication are needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
