Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions DAS U-Boot versions prior to 2025.01-RC1

Description A stack consumption issue occurs in the sqfs size function in DAS U-Boot through a crafted squashfs filesystem with deep symlink nesting. This issue affects the SquashFS symlink resolution function, leading to a stack-based overflow.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2025.01-RC1, update to version 2025.01-RC1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of crafted squashfs filesystems with deep symlink nesting to minimize the risk of exploitation.
