CWE-1233

Western Digital has identified a weakness in the UFS standard that could result in a security vulnerability. This vulnerability may exist in some systems where the Host boot ROM code implements the UFS Boot feature to boot from UFS compliant storage devices. The UFS Boot feature, as specified in the UFS standard, is provided by UFS devices to support platforms that need to download the system boot loader from external non-volatile storage locations. Several scenarios have been identified in which adversaries may disable the boot capability, or revert to an old boot loader code, if the host boot ROM code is improperly implemented. UFS Host Boot ROM implementers may be impacted by this vulnerability. UFS devices are only impacted when connected to a vulnerable UFS Host and are not independently impacted by this vulnerability. When present, the vulnerability is in the UFS Host implementation and is not a vulnerability in Western Digital UFS Devices. Western Digital has provided details of the vulnerability to the JEDEC standards body, multiple vendors of host processors, and software solutions providers.

Missing lock bit protection for NBIO registers could allow a local admin-privileged attacker to gain arbitrary System Management Network (SMN) access, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in AMD Secure Processor (ASP) and loss of the SEV-SNP guest's confidentiality and integrity.

Kapsch TrafficCom RIS-9160 & RIS-9260 Roadside Units (RSUs) v3.2.0.829.23, v3.8.0.1119.42, and v4.6.0.1211.28 was discovered to contain an unauthenticated EFI shell which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges during the boot process.

Missing lock bit protection for NBIO registers could allow a local admin-privileged attacker to modify MMIO routing configurations, potentially resulting in loss of SEV-SNP guest integrity.

Kapsch TrafficCom RIS-9160 & RIS-9260 Roadside Units (RSUs) v3.2.0.829.23, v3.8.0.1119.42, and v4.6.0.1211.28 were discovered to lack SPI Protected Range Registers (PRRs), allowing attackers with software running on the system to modify SPI flash in real-time.

Incorrect access control in the SPI Flash Chip of Kapsch TrafficCom RIS-9160 & RIS-9260 Roadside Units (RSUs) v3.2.0.829.23, v3.8.0.1119.42, and v4.6.0.1211.28 allows physically proximate attackers to arbitrarily modify SPI flash regions, leading to a degradation of the security posture of the device.
