Untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability in Samsung Open Source mTower allows Pointer Manipulation.
This issue affects mTower: before 06994e303637512e39062f3e037c222e8448e57e.
AnalysisAI
Untrusted pointer dereference in Samsung mTower's Secure world entry point allows a Non-Secure world caller to supply pointer values referencing Secure RAM, causing the TEE kernel to dereference those addresses on behalf of the attacker and potentially exposing or corrupting cryptographic material and other Secure world state. All mTower deployments before commit 06994e303637512e39062f3e037c222e8448e57e on ARM Cortex-M TrustZone hardware are affected, spanning both the session-open and invoke-command paths. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires executing arbitrary code in the Normal World of an ARM Cortex-M TrustZone system running mTower as the TEE. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, score 5.5) materially understates real-world impact and contains metric assignments that conflict with the described vulnerability mechanism. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available via GitHub PR #250 (https://github.com/Samsung/mTower/pull/250); the patch introduces nsec_check() attribution validation for all Non-Secure-supplied buffer pointers and snapshots tee_ta_param into Secure local storage to eliminate the TOCTOU exposure. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
