Technical details

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Das U-Boot version 2022.01 due to an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). The flaw is distinct from CVE-2022-30552. An attacker with local access and low privileges can exploit this vulnerability to overwrite memory, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution or causing a system crash (denial-of-service). The vulnerability has been observed in downstream implementations, such as Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX II devices. Patches are available in newer versions of U-Boot and vendor-specific firmware updates like RUGGEDCOM ROX V2.17.1.
