Details
A vulnerability has been found in ChaN FatFs up to R0.16 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects the function mount_volume. The manipulation of the argument n_fats with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
In FatFS R0.16 and earlier contains a FAT32 integer overflow bug in mount_volume() where fasize *= fs->n_fats can wrap, leading to attacker-controlled file-size metadata and unsafe read lengths in downstream callers. This maps to CWE-190 (Integer Overflow or Wraparound). Estimated CVSS v3.1 vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H (7.6, High). Remote delivery is also possible in OTA/update pipelines. The estimated CISA SSVC vectors are Exploitation: PoC, Technical Impact: Total.
