Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in AMD Alveo Accelerator Cards, Versal Prime Adaptive SoCs, Versal Premium Adaptive SoCs, Versal AI Edge Adaptive SoCs, Versal AI Core Adaptive SoCs, Versal HBM Adaptive SoCs, Versal RF Adaptive SoCs and Versal Premium Gen 2 Adaptive SoCs up to 2026.0 and classified as very critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the component USB boot mode. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-120. The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoC devices, insufficient boundary checks in USB boot mode—when enabled through board modifications—could allow crafted images to trigger a buffer overflow and overwrite an active function pointer, which may result in arbitrary code execution during boot process. This condition could lead to potential impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The advisory is available at amd.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-0482 since 12/06/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 10/06/2026).

Upgrading to version 2026.1 eliminates this vulnerability.
