Description
An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the SPI host command interface of Semtech's LR11xx transceiver firmware where a crafted SPI host command with an oversized length field can cause the firmware to write up to 254 arbitrary bytes past the bounds of an internal, non-persistent memory buffer. Exploitation requires physical access to the device and logical access to the SPI bus.

AI Analysis

Impact

An out-of-bounds write occurs when a crafted SPI host command contains an oversized length field, allowing the firmware to write up to 254 arbitrary bytes past the bounds of an internal non‑persistent memory buffer. This buffer overflow can corrupt critical in‑memory data and cause the device to behave unpredictably, as defined by CWE‑787.

Affected Systems

Semtech LR1110, LR1120, and LR1121 product families, including both Modem‑e and Transceiver variations, are impacted by the LR11xx firmware flaw. The advisory does not list specific firmware revisions, so all current releases may be vulnerable until a corrected firmware is distributed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.2 reflects moderate severity. No EPSS score is provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The description specifies that exploitation requires physical access to the device and logical access to the SPI bus, indicating a local attack vector. While physical access limits the potential attack surface, any environment where devices are accessible in the field should evaluate the risk of device compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest LR11xx firmware update released by Semtech, as described in the vendor's security advisory.
  • Restrict physical access to the devices and secure the SPI bus against unauthorized use.
  • When feasible, validate length fields in the SPI host command interface to reject oversized commands and mitigate the buffer‑overflow risk.
