Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) before 2.10 has a potential read out-of-bounds in the SDEI service. The input parameter passed in register x1 is not validated well enough in the function sdei_interrupt_bind. The parameter is passed to a call to plat_ic_get_interrupt_type. It can be any arbitrary value passing checks in the function plat_ic_is_sgi. A compromised Normal World (Linux kernel) can enable a root-privileged attacker to issue arbitrary SMC calls. Using this primitive, he can control the content of registers x0 through x6, which are used to send parameters to TF-A. Out-of-bounds addresses can be read in the context of TF-A (EL3). Because the read value is never returned to non-secure memory or in registers, no leak is possible. An attacker can still crash TF-A, however.

ARM Trusted Firmware-A allows information disclosure.

In all versions of ARM Trusted Firmware up to and including v1.4, not initializing or saving/restoring the PMCR_EL0 register can leak secure world timing information.

The BL1 FWU SMC handling code in ARM Trusted Firmware before 1.4 might allow attackers to write arbitrary data to secure memory, bypass the bl1_plat_mem_check protection mechanism, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted AArch32 image, which triggers an integer overflow.

In ARM Trusted Firmware 1.3, RO memory is always executable at AArch64 Secure EL1, allowing attackers to bypass the MT_EXECUTE_NEVER protection mechanism. This issue occurs because of inconsistency in the number of execute-never bits (one bit versus two bits).

In ARM Trusted Firmware through 1.3, the secure self-hosted invasive debug interface allows normal world attackers to cause a denial of service (secure world panic) via vectors involving debug exceptions and debug registers.

In ARM Trusted Firmware 1.2 and 1.3, a malformed firmware update SMC can result in copying unexpectedly large data into secure memory because of integer overflows. This affects certain cases involving execution of both AArch64 Generic Trusted Firmware (TF) BL1 code and other firmware update code.
