CVE-2020-13600: Malformed SPI in response for eswifi can corrupt kernel memory

Malformed SPI in response for eswifi can corrupt kernel memory. Zephyr versions >= 1.14.2, >= 2.3.0 contain Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122). For more information, see https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/security/advisories/GHSA-hx4p-j86p-2mhr

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2020-13600 is a heap-based buffer overflow in Zephyr’s eswifi handling. A malformed SPI response can corrupt kernel memory. Business risk is highest for embedded devices using affected Zephyr firmware where an attacker can get physical or peripheral-level access. Exposure is likely limited to products using affected Zephyr versions or ranges with the eswifi SPI path. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated by the provided CVSS vector or sources. Treat this as high priority for affected embedded products, especially fielded devices in accessible locations. It is not presented as a mass remote exploitation issue, but successful exploitation could compromise device confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Mitigation focus: Inventory Zephyr-based firmware for the affected versions or ranges cited in the CVE.; Identify whether the eswifi SPI path is enabled or reachable in affected products.; Review the Zephyr GitHub advisory for fixed releases or vendor-specific mitigation guidance..
