Vulnerabilities in the TPM 2.0 reference implementation code

In this blog post we discuss the details of two vulnerabilities we discovered in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 reference implementation code. These two vulnerabilities, an out-of-bounds write (CVE-2023-1017) and an out-of-bounds read (CVE-2023-1018), affected several TPM 2.0 software implementations (such as the ones used by virtualization software) as well as a number of hardware TPMs.

Heap Overflow in OpenBSD's slaacd via Router Advertisement

In this blog post we analyze a heap overflow vulnerability we discovered in the IPv6 stack of OpenBSD, more specifically in its slaacd daemon. This issue, whose root cause can be found in the mishandling of Router Advertisement messages containing a DNSSL option with a malformed domain label, was patched by OpenBSD on March 21, 2022. A proof-of-concept to reproduce the vulnerability is provided.

Bad Neighbor on FreeBSD: IPv6 Router Advertisement Vulnerabilities in rtsold (CVE-2020-25577)

This blog post provides details about four vulnerabilities we found in the IPv6 stack of FreeBSD, more specifically in rtsold(8), the router solicitation daemon. The bugs affected all supported versions of FreeBSD, and the most severe of them could allow an attacker attached to the same physical link to gain remote code execution as root on vulnerable systems. The vulnerabilities were discovered and reported to FreeBSD Security Team in November 2020. FreeBSD issued fixes for these bugs on December 1st, 2020 along with security advisory FreeBSD-SA-20:32.rtsold.
