An arbitrary memory overwrite vulnerability in Asylo versions up to 0.6.0 allow an attacker to make an Ecall_restore function call to reallocate untrusted code and overwrite sections of the Enclave memory address. We recommend updating your library.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
