CVE-2024-6285

Summary

CVE-2024-6285 is a newly disclosed vulnerability affecting Renesas arm-trusted-firmware. This issue involves an integer underflow in image range check calculations, which can result in bypassing address restrictions. Consequently, unauthorized images can be loaded to unintended addresses, potentially leading to serious security implications. The underflow condition occurs when a value is subtracted from a smaller number, causing it to wrap around and become a larger number. This behavior can be exploited to gain unauthorized access, bypassing crucial security mechanisms. Renesas is urged to release patches to address this vulnerability promptly to prevent potential exploitation.
