Integer Overflow in Sec Boot Causes Local DoS Without User Interaction

Publication date: 2026-04-07

Last updated on: 2026-04-07

Assigner: MediaTek, Inc.

Description
In sec boot, there is a possible out of bounds write due to an integer overflow. This could lead to local denial of service, if an attacker has physical access to the device, with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS09963054; Issue ID: MSV-3899.

CWE ID Description
CWE-787 The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
CWE-190 The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
