CVE-2023-41325
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. Starting in version 3.20 and prior to version 3.22, `shdr_verify_signature` can make a double free. `shdr_verify_signature` used to verify a TA binary before it is loaded. To verify a signature of it, allocate a memory for RSA key. RSA key allocate function (`sw_crypto_acipher_alloc_rsa_public_key`) will try to allocate a memory (which is optee’s heap memory).

RSA key is consist of exponent and modulus (represent as variable `e`, `n`) and it allocation is not atomic way, so it may succeed in `e` but fail in `n`. In this case sw_crypto_acipher_alloc_rsa_public_key` will free on `e` and return as it is failed but variable ‘e’ is remained as already freed memory address . `shdr_verify_signature` will free again that memory (which is `e`) even it is freed when it failed allocate RSA key. A patch is available in version 3.22. No known workarounds are available.

A partir de la versión 3.20 y anteriores a la versión 3.22, `shdr_verify_signature` puede hacer un doble libremente. `shdr_verify_signature` se usa para verificar un binario TA antes de cargarlo. Para verificar una firma del mismo, asigne una memoria para la clave RSA. La función de asignación de clave RSA (`sw_crypto_acipher_alloc_rsa_public_key`) intentará asignar una memoria (que es la memoria del montón del candidato). La clave RSA consta de exponente y módulo (representados como variables `e`, `n`) y su asignación no es de forma atómica, por lo que puede tener éxito en `e` pero fallar en `n`. En este caso, sw_crypto_acipher_alloc_rsa_public_key` se liberará en `e` y regresará cuando falló, pero la variable “e” permanece como dirección de memoria ya liberada. `shdr_verify_signature` liberará nuevamente esa memoria (que es `e`), incluso si se libera cuando no se pudo asignar la clave RSA. Hay un parche disponible en la versión 3.22. No hay workarounds conocidos disponibles."
