- Severity: CVSS 2.0 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial

## Affected

- arm-trusted-firmware: v2.5

An attacker can bypass memory range restriction and write data out of buffer bounds, which could result in bypass of secure boot. Affected git version from c2f286820471ed276c57e603762bd831873e5a17 until (not
