Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-02-23 13:04 – Updated: 2026-04-27 14:11 – Source website

Summary

u-boot vulnerabilities

Details

Simon Diepold discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled certain DHCP responses. An attacker on the local network could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive memory contents. (CVE-2024-42040)

It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled symlink size calculations in squashfs file systems. An attacker could use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57254)

It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled inode size calculations in squashfs file systems. An attacker could use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57255)

It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled inode size calculations in EXT4 file systems. An attacker could use this issue with a specially crafted EXT4 file system to cause U-Boot to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57256)

It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled deep symlink nesting in squashfs file systems. An attacker could possibly use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-57257)

It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled memory allocation in squashfs file systems. An attacker could use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57258)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
