Descriptions

The image_verify function in platform/msm_shared/image_verify.c in the Little Kernel (LK) bootloader, as distributed with Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, does not check whether a certain digest size is consistent with the RSA_public_decrypt API specification, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass boot-image authentication requirements via trailing data.

La función image_verify en platform/msm_shared/image_verify.c en el bootloader Little Kernel (LK), distribuido con las contribuciones Android Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) para dispositivos MSM y otros productoss, no comprueba si cierto tamaño digest es consistente con la especificación RSA_public_decrypt API, lo que facilita a atacantes evadir los requisitos de la autenticación para arranque de imágenes a través de datos finales.
