Summary

NVIDIA Jetson Linux Driver Package contains a vulnerability in the Cboot module tegrabl_cbo.c, where, if TFTP is enabled, a local attacker with elevated privileges can cause a memory buffer overflow, which may lead to code execution, loss of Integrity, limited denial of service, and some impact to confidentiality.

CWE-119 - Buffer Overflow

Buffer overflow attacks involve data transit and operations exceeding the restricted memory buffer, thereby corrupting or overwriting data in adjacent memory locations. Such overflow allows the attacker to run arbitrary code or manipulate the existing code to cause privilege escalation, data breach, denial of service, system crash and even complete system compromise. Given that languages such as C and C++ lack default safeguards against overwriting or accessing data in their memory, applications utilizing these languages are most susceptible to buffer overflows attacks.
