Remote crash via wrapped RSA padding length
Published Apr 24, 2026 · Updated Apr 24, 2026
Integer underflow in OP-TEE OS 3.8.0 through 4.10 allows remote attackers to crash the trusted OS with a small RSA modulus. The emsa_pkcs1_v1_5_encode() function subtracts digest and encoding overhead from the modulus size without checking for underflow, then passes the wrapped padding length to memset(), which overwrites heap memory with 0xFF bytes. The path is reachable only on platforms with RSA acceleration registered; exploitation interrupts secure-world services by crashing OP-TEE.

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.
