Technical details

A race condition exists in the trusty_dputc function of generic-arm64-smcall.c in Google Trusty, leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. The vulnerability is reachable locally with System execution privileges and does not require user interaction for exploitation. An attacker with system-level access can exploit this race condition to write beyond memory boundaries, achieving local privilege escalation within the Trusty environment.
