Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2026-33317 impacting trustedfirmware op-tee. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 8.7 (HIGH).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
OP-TEE is a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) designed as companion to a non-secure Linux kernel running on Arm; Cortex-A cores using the TrustZone technology. In versions 3.13.0 through 4.10.0, missing checks in `entry_get_attribute_value()` in `ta/pkcs11/src/object.c` can lead to out-of-bounds read from the PKCS#11 TA heap or a crash. When chained with the OOB read, the PKCS#11 TA function `PKCS11_CMD_GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE` or `entry_get_attribute_value()` can, with a bad template parameter, be tricked into reading at most 7 bytes beyond the end of the template buffer and writing beyond the end of the template buffer with the content of an attribute value of a PKCS#11 object. Commits e031c4e562023fd9f199e39fd2e85797e4cbdca9, 16926d5a46934c46e6656246b4fc18385a246900, and 149e8d7ecc4ef8bb00ab4a37fd2ccede6d79e1ca contain patches and are anticipated to be part of version 4.11.0.
