Code execution via untrusted RCM boot payload
Published Feb 25, 2025 · Updated Feb 25, 2025
Improper UEFI behavior in NVIDIA Jetson Linux before 36.4.3 and IGX OS before 1.1 allows physically proximate attackers to load untrusted code. The RCM boot path accepts an untrusted boot payload, but NVIDIA has not disclosed the exact absent or unsupported enforcement operation. Physical device access is required; successful execution can escalate privileges, tamper with or disclose data, and interrupt service across components.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
