DENX U-Boot through 2018.09-rc1 has a locally exploitable buffer overflow via a crafted kernel image because filesystem loading is mishandled.
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.
