A stack-based buffer overflow issue was discovered in NXP i.MX 50, i.MX 53, i.MX 6ULL, i.MX 6UltraLite, i.MX 6SoloLite, i.MX 6Solo, i.MX 6DualLite, i.MX 6SoloX, i.MX 6Dual, i.MX 6Quad, i.MX 6DualPlus, i.MX 6QuadPlus, Vybrid VF3xx, Vybrid VF5xx, and Vybrid VF6xx. When the device is configured in security enabled configuration, SDP could be used to download a small section of code to an unprotected region of memory.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
