Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in AMD Versal Adaptive SoC Devices, Versal RF, Versal AI Edge, Versal Prime, Versal Premium, Versal AI Core, Versal HBM and Alveo V80 Compute Accelerator up to 2025.1 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component State Coordination Interface. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a improper validation of specified quantity in input vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-1284. The product receives input that is expected to specify a quantity (such as size or length), but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the quantity has the required properties. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

The Secure Flag passed to Versal™ Adaptive SoC’s Trusted Firmware for Cortex®-A processors (TF-A) for Arm’s Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) commands were incorrectly set to secure instead of using the processor’s actual security state. This would allow the PSCI requests to appear they were from processors in the secure state instead of the non-secure state.

The advisory is shared for download at amd.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2025-54515 since 07/23/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

Upgrading to version 2025.2 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at EUVD (EUVD-2025-198581). Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
