Summary
uboot-tools security update
Details

This package includes the mkimage program, which allows generation of U-Boot images in various formats, and the fw_printenv and fw_setenv programs to read and modify U-Boot's environment.

Security Fix(es):

An integer overflow in sqfs_inode_size in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 occurs in the symlink size calculation via a crafted squashfs filesystem.(CVE-2024-57254)

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.(CVE-2024-57255)

An integer overflow in ext4fs_read_symlink in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 occurs for zalloc (adding one to an le32 variable) via a crafted ext4 filesystem with an inode size of 0xffffffff, resulting in a malloc of zero and resultant memory overwrite.(CVE-2024-57256)

A stack consumption issue in sqfs_size in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 occurs via a crafted squashfs filesystem with deep symlink nesting.(CVE-2024-57257)

Integer overflows in memory allocation in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 occur for a crafted squashfs filesystem via sbrk, via request2size, or because ptrdiff_t is mishandled on x86_64.(CVE-2024-57258)

sqfs_search_dir in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 exhibits an off-by-one error and resultant heap memory corruption for squashfs directory listing because the path separator is not considered in a size calculation.(CVE-2024-57259)
