CVE-2024-57255 Details
Description
An integer overflow in sqfs_resolve_symlink in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 occurs via a crafted squashfs filesystem with an inode size of 0xffffffff, resulting in a malloc of zero and resultant memory overwrite.
A vulnerability exists in Das U-Boot bootloader versions prior to 2025.01-rc1, due to an integer overflow in the 'sqfs_resolve_symlink' function. This vulnerability can be triggered by a crafted SquashFS filesystem that includes an inode size of 0xffffffff. The resulting memory corruption occurs because the overflow leads to a memory allocation of zero, which is then overwritten, creating potential for exploitation.
Users are advised to upgrade to U-Boot version 2025.01-rc1 or later.
