DescriptionNVD

Azure RTOS FileX is a FAT-compatible file system that’s fully integrated with Azure RTOS ThreadX. In versions before 6.2.0, the Fault Tolerant feature of Azure RTOS FileX includes integer under and overflows which may be exploited to achieve buffer overflow and modify memory contents. When a valid log file with correct ID and checksum is detected by the _fx_fault_tolerant_enable function an attempt to recover the previous failed write operation is taken by call of _fx_fault_tolerant_apply_logs. This function iterates through the log entries and performs required recovery operations. When properly crafted a log including entries of type FX_FAULT_TOLERANT_DIR_LOG_TYPE may be utilized to introduce unexpected behavior. This issue has been patched in version 6.2.0. A workaround to fix line 218 in fx_fault_tolerant_apply_logs.c is documented in the GHSA.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Copy without Size Check (CWE-120), which allows attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory. Azure RTOS FileX is a FAT-compatible file system that’s fully integrated with Azure RTOS ThreadX. In versions before 6.2.0, the Fault Tolerant feature of Azure RTOS FileX includes integer under and overflows which may be exploited to achieve buffer overflow and modify memory contents. When a valid log file with correct ID and checksum is detected by the _fx_fault_tolerant_enable function an attempt to recover the previous failed write operation is taken by call of _fx_fault_tolerant_apply_logs. This function iterates through the log entries and performs required recovery operations. When properly crafted a log including entries of type FX_FAULT_TOLERANT_DIR_LOG_TYPE may be utilized to introduce unexpected behavior. This issue has been patched in version 6.2.0. A workaround to fix line 218 in fx_fault_tolerant_apply_logs.c is documented in the GHSA. Affected products include: Microsoft Azure Rtos Filex. Version information: before 6.2.0.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Always validate buffer sizes before copy operations. Use bounded functions (strncpy, snprintf). Enable compiler protections.
