Vulnerabilities

A software vulnerability has been identified in the U-Boot Secondary Program Loader (SPL) before 2023.07 on select NXP i.MX 8M family processors. Under certain conditions, a crafted Flattened Image Tree (FIT) format structure can be used to overwrite SPL memory, allowing unauthenticated software to execute on the target, leading to privilege escalation. This affects i.MX 8M, i.MX 8M Mini, i.MX 8M Nano, and i.MX 8M Plus.

An information-disclosure vulnerability exists on select NXP devices when configured in Serial Download Protocol (SDP) mode: i.MX RT 1010, i.MX RT 1015, i.MX RT 1020, i.MX RT 1050, i.MX RT 1060, i.MX 6 Family, i.MX 7Dual/Solo, i.MX 7ULP, i.MX 8M Quad, i.MX 8M Mini, and Vybrid. In a device security-enabled configuration, memory contents could potentially leak to physically proximate attackers via the respective SDP port in cold and warm boot attacks. (The recommended mitigation is to completely disable the SDP mode by programming a one-time programmable eFUSE. Customers can contact NXP for additional information.)

NXP MCUXpresso SDK versions prior to 2.8.2 are vulnerable to integer overflow in SDK_Malloc function, which could allow to access memory locations outside the bounds of a specified array, leading to unexpected behavior such segmentation fault when assigning a particular block of memory from the heap via malloc.

NXP MQX Versions 5.1 and prior are vulnerable to integer overflow in mem_alloc, _lwmem_alloc and _partition functions. This unverified memory assignment can lead to arbitrary memory allocation, resulting in unexpected behavior such as a crash or a remote code injection/execution.

NXP LPC55S66JBD64, LPC55S66JBD100, LPC55S66JEV98, LPC55S69JBD64, LPC55S69JBD100, and LPC55S69JEV98 microcontrollers (ROM version 1B) have a buffer overflow in parsing SB2 updates before the signature is verified. This can allow an attacker to achieve non-persistent code execution via a crafted unsigned update.

NXP Kinetis K82 devices have a buffer over-read via a crafted wlength value in a GET Status-Other request during use of USB In-System Programming (ISP) mode. This discloses protected flash memory.

NXP LPC55S69 devices before A3 have a buffer over-read via a crafted wlength value in a GET Descriptor Configuration request during use of USB In-System Programming (ISP) mode. This discloses protected flash memory.

NXP MCUXpresso SDK v2.7.0 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow in the function USB_HostParseDeviceConfigurationDescriptor().

On NXP MIFARE Ultralight and NTAG cards, an attacker can interrupt a write operation (aka conduct a "tear off" attack) over RFID to bypass a Monotonic Counter protection mechanism. The impact depends on how the anti tear-off feature is used in specific applications such as public transportation, physical access control, etc.

NXP LPC55S6x microcontrollers (0A and 1B), i.MX RT500 (silicon rev B1 and B2), i.MX RT600 (silicon rev A0, B0), LPC55S6x, LPC55S2x, LPC552x (silicon rev 0A, 1B), LPC55S1x, LPC551x (silicon rev 0A) and LPC55S0x, LPC550x (silicon rev 0A) include an undocumented ROM patch peripheral that allows unsigned, non-persistent modification of the internal ROM.

An electromagnetic-wave side-channel issue was discovered on NXP SmartMX / P5x security microcontrollers and A7x secure authentication microcontrollers, with CryptoLib through v2.9. It allows attackers to extract the ECDSA private key after extensive physical access (and consequently produce a clone). This was demonstrated on the Google Titan Security Key, based on an NXP A7005a chip. Other FIDO U2F security keys are also impacted (Yubico YubiKey Neo and Feitian K9, K13, K21, and K40) as well as several NXP JavaCard smartcards (J3A081, J2A081, J3A041, J3D145_M59, J2D145_M59, J3D120_M60, J3D082_M60, J2D120_M60, J2D082_M60, J3D081_M59, J2D081_M59, J3D081_M61, J2D081_M61, J3D081_M59_DF, J3D081_M61_DF, J3E081_M64, J3E081_M66, J2E081_M64, J3E041_M66, J3E016_M66, J3E016_M64, J3E041_M64, J3E145_M64, J3E120_M65, J3E082_M65, J2E145_M64, J2E120_M65, J2E082_M65, J3E081_M64_DF, J3E081_M66_DF, J3E041_M66_DF, J3E016_M66_DF, J3E041_M64_DF, and J3E016_M64_DF).

The Bluetooth Low Energy implementation on NXP SDK through 2.2.1 for KW41Z devices does not properly restrict the Link Layer payload length, allowing attackers in radio range to cause a buffer overflow via a crafted packet.

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stack implementation on the NXP KW41Z (based on the MCUXpresso SDK with Bluetooth Low Energy Driver 2.2.1 and earlier) does not properly restrict the BLE Link Layer header and executes certain memory contents upon receiving a packet with a Link Layer ID (LLID) equal to zero. This allows attackers within radio range to cause deadlocks, cause anomalous behavior in the BLE state machine, or trigger a buffer overflow via a crafted BLE Link Layer frame.

On NXP Kinetis KV1x, Kinetis KV3x, and Kinetis K8x devices, Flash Access Controls (FAC) (a software IP protection method for execute-only access) can be defeated by leveraging a load instruction inside the execute-only region to expose the protected code into a CPU register.

On NXP Kinetis KV1x, Kinetis KV3x, and Kinetis K8x devices, Flash Access Controls (FAC) (a software IP protection method for execute-only access) can be defeated by observing CPU registers and the effect of code/instruction execution.

A stack-based buffer overflow issue was discovered in NXP i.MX 50, i.MX 53, i.MX 6ULL, i.MX 6UltraLite, i.MX 6SoloLite, i.MX 6Solo, i.MX 6DualLite, i.MX 6SoloX, i.MX 6Dual, i.MX 6Quad, i.MX 6DualPlus, i.MX 6QuadPlus, Vybrid VF3xx, Vybrid VF5xx, and Vybrid VF6xx. When the device is configured in security enabled configuration, SDP could be used to download a small section of code to an unprotected region of memory.
