Technical details

An improper or implicit cast of a negative buffer size in GetSharedMemory of trusty_shared_memory_manager.cc allows sign-extension to cause an out-of-bounds read. The vulnerability requires local access with system execution privileges. This is a classic integer handling issue that can leak confidential data stored in memory.
