Summary

A vulnerability in Das U-Boot before version 2026.04 allows bypassing FIT (Flat Image Tree) signature verification by omitting hashed-nodes from the hash calculation. An attacker can supply a modified FIT image that will be accepted as properly signed.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the possibility of executing unauthorized, malicious software on devices using U-Boot, potentially leading to system compromise or integrity violation of the boot process.

Recommendation

Immediately update Das U-Boot to version 2026.04 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability. In the meantime, restrict access to the FIT image update process.
