Description
Improper handling of non-secure-world input in NSC veneer
functions of NXP MCUXpresso SDK TrustZone-M examples (trustzone_examples),
affecting versions through 26.06.00-lts and 26.09.00-pvw2, may allow a
non-secure caller to supply unvalidated pointers or untrusted data, causing a
timing side-channel, TOCTOU condition, or format-string misuse, potentially
resulting in secure-world memory disclosure or denial of service. All software
versions starting from 26.06.01-lts and 26.09.00 have fixed this issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

Improper handling of non‑secure‑world input in NXP MCUXpresso SDK TrustZone‑M example NSC veneer functions allows an attacker to supply unvalidated pointers or untrusted data, resulting in a timing side‑channel, TOCTOU condition, or format‑string misuse. The flaw can lead to disclosure of secure‑world memory or denial of service, as it permits reading or corrupting protected data without proper validation.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the NXP MCUXpresso SDK, specifically TrustZone‑M examples through 26.06.00‑lts and 26.09.00‑pvw2. All software versions beginning with 26.06.01‑lts and 26.09.00 are fixed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.7, indicating moderate severity. EPSS information is unavailable and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The main attack vector is a non‑secure world caller that can trigger the vulnerable NSC veneer functions, presumably locally on the device. An attacker with such access could read secure memory or cause a denial of service by exploiting the unchecked pointers or format‑string vulnerability.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the MCUXpresso SDK to version 26.06.01‑lts or newer, which contains the patch for this vulnerability.
  • Upgrade to MCUXpresso SDK 26.09.00 or newer if using the 26.09 release line.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, eliminate or guard the use of the vulnerable NSC veneer functions in non‑secure code paths and replace them with validated alternatives.
