3Description
openFPGALoader is a utility for programming FPGAs. In 1.1.1 and earlier, a heap-buffer-overflow read vulnerability exists in POFParser::parseSection() that allows out-of-bounds heap memory access when parsing a crafted .pof file. No FPGA hardware is required to trigger this vulnerability.
Analysis
Heap buffer overflow in openFPGALoader 1.1.1 and earlier allows local attackers to read sensitive heap memory and cause denial-of-service by supplying a maliciously crafted .pof FPGA bitstream file. The vulnerability triggers during POF file parsing without requiring physical FPGA hardware, enabling information disclosure (high confidentiality impact) and application crashes (high availability impact). …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running openFPGALoader 1.1.1 or earlier through software inventory and restrict file handling of untrusted .pof bitstream files to air-gapped development environments. Within 7 days: Implement input validation controls to reject malformed POF files and consider disabling openFPGALoader if not actively required. …
