Description
A NULL pointer dereference issue in the TEE_MACCompareFinal function in Samsung mTower through 0.3.0 allows a trusted application to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by invoking the function TEE_MACCompareFinal with a NULL pointer for the parameter operation.
mTower is Trusted Execution Environment specially designed to be used on MicroController Units (MCUs) supporting ARM TrustZone technology (e.g., Cortex-M23/33/35p). mTower operates well under restrictions typical for such environment – small RAM and ROM sizes, relatively low performance, absence of rich OSes providing variety of services available on PCs or in enterprise environments. mTower is intended for usage in IoT, embedded devices, Smart Home applications, distributed heterogeneous networks and other environments where secure processing of sensitive data is necessary.
