Technical details

An untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability exists in Altera Trusted Firmware for Hard Processor System (HPS) that allows an attacker to exploit improperly configured or implemented memory protections. The vulnerability permits dereferencing of attacker-controlled or insufficiently validated pointers, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation within the trusted execution environment. Patching is recommended through updates beyond socfpga_v2.14.0.
