Technical details

An untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability exists in Altera Trusted Firmware on the HPS (Hard Processor System) component that improperly validates or implements memory protections. The vulnerability allows an attacker to dereference arbitrary pointers, circumventing memory isolation mechanisms. This requires local or physical access to trigger and affects versions through socfpga_v2.14.0.
