## Technical details

A logic error in sys_state_setup_otp_ta.c's has_booted_successfully function allows premature anti-rollback fuse updates. The vulnerability resides in the bootloader/OTP (one-time programmable) management component and can be exploited locally without requiring elevated privileges. Successful exploitation results in permanent DoS by corrupting OTP fuse state needed for secure boot verification.
