CVE-2024-0148

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.
