Ubuntu Security Notice 6796-1 - Fergus Dall discovered that TPM2 Software Stack did not properly handle layer arrays. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause TPM2 Software Stack to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Jurgen Repp and Andreas Fuchs discovered that TPM2 Software Stack did not validate the quote data after deserialization. An attacker could generate an arbitrary quote and cause TPM2 Software Stack to have unknown behavior.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-7166-01 - An update for tpm2-tss is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
tpm2-tss is an open source software implementation of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2 Software Stack (TSS2). In affected versions `Tss2_RC_SetHandler` and `Tss2_RC_Decode` both index into `layer_handler` with an 8 bit layer number, but the array only has `TPM2_ERROR_TSS2_RC_LAYER_COUNT` entries, so trying to add a handler for higher-numbered layers or decode a response code with such a layer number reads/writes past the end of the buffer. This Buffer overrun, could result in arbitrary code execution. An example attack would be a MiTM bus attack that returns 0xFFFFFFFF for the RC. Given the common use case of TPM modules an attacker must have local access to the target machine with local system privileges which allows access to the TPM system. Usually TPM access requires administrative privilege.
