Technical details
A vulnerability exists in the `entry_get_attribute_value()` function within `ta/pkcs11/src/object.c` of OP-TEE OS. The issue stems from missing bounds checks when processing template parameters via the `PKCS11_CMD_GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE` command. Specifically, the code fails to verify that the attribute head is fully within the template buffer and does not check for integer overflows in the length field. An attacker with local access can provide a malformed template to trigger an out-of-bounds read of up to 7 bytes or an out-of-bounds write into the TA heap. This can result in the disclosure of sensitive heap data, such as previously used secret keys, or memory corruption leading to a crash. Patches have been developed in commits e031c4e, 16926d5, and 149e8d7, with a formal fix expected in version 4.11.0.
