zephyrproject CVE Vulnerabilities & Metrics

A lack of input validation allows for out of bounds reads caused by malicious or malformed packets.

A malicious or malformed DNS packet without a payload can cause an out-of-bounds read, resulting in a crash (denial of service) or an incorrect computation.

When the Global Pointer (GP) relative addressing is enabled (CONFIG_RISCV_GP=y), the gp reg points at 0x800 bytes past the start of the .sdata section which is then used by the linker to relax accesses to global symbols.

No proper validation of the length of user input in olcp_ind_handler in zephyr/subsys/bluetooth/services/ots/ots_client.c.

In utf8_trunc in zephyr/lib/utils/utf8.c, last_byte_p can point to one byte before the string pointer if the string is empty.

Possible buffer overflow in is_mount_point

The documentation specifies that the BT_GATT_PERM_READ_LESC and BT_GATT_PERM_WRITE_LESC defines for a Bluetooth characteristic: Attribute read/write permission with LE Secure Connection encryption. If set, requires that LE Secure Connections is used for read/write access, however this is only true when it is combined with other permissions, namely BT_GATT_PERM_READ_ENCRYPT/BT_GATT_PERM_READ_AUTHEN (for read) or BT_GATT_PERM_WRITE_ENCRYPT/BT_GATT_PERM_WRITE_AUTHEN (for write), if these additional permissions are not set (even in secure connections only mode) then the stack does not perform any permission checks on these characteristics and they can be freely written/read.

Union variant confusion allows any malicious BT controller to execute arbitrary code on the Zephyr host.

The bluetooth HCI host layer logic not clearing a global reference to a state pointer after handling connection events may allow a malicious HCI Controller to cause the use of a dangling reference in the host layer, leading to a crash (DoS) or potential RCE on the Host layer.

The bluetooth HCI host layer logic not clearing a global reference to a semaphore after synchronously sending HCI commands may allow a malicious HCI Controller to cause the use of a dangling reference in the host layer, leading to a crash (DoS) or potential RCE on the Host layer.

At the most basic level, an invalid pointer can be input that crashes the device, but with more knowledge of the device’s memory layout, further exploitation is possible.

A malicious / defective bluetooth controller can cause buffer overreads in the most functions that process HCI command responses.

Inconsistent handling of error cases in bluetooth hci may lead to a double free condition of a network buffer.

A malicious / defect bluetooth controller can cause a Denial of Service due to unchecked input in le_read_buffer_size_complete.

usb device bluetooth class includes a buffer overflow related to implementation of net_buf_add_mem.

There is no check to see if slot 0 is being uploaded from the device to the host. When using encrypted images this means the unencrypted firmware can be retrieved easily.

There is an error in the condition of the last if-statement in the function smp_check_keys. It was rejecting current keys if all requirements were unmet.

The denial-of-service can be triggered by transmitting a carefully crafted CAN frame on the same CAN network as the vulnerable node. The frame must have a CAN ID matching an installed filter in the vulnerable node (this can easily be guessed based on CAN traffic analyses). The frame must contain the opposite RTR bit as what the filter installed in the vulnerable node contains (if the filter matches RTR frames, the frame must be a data frame or vice versa).

In subsys/net/ip/tcp.c , function tcp_flags , when the incoming parameter flags is ECN or CWR , the buf will out-of-bounds write a byte zero.
