It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-0973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-0973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0973/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-0973","record":{"aliases":["CVE-2014-9794","GHSA-j2v2-fr8j-439j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Qualcomm LK bootloader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass boot-image authentication in Qualcomm LK bootloader by exploiting improper digest size validation, allowing unauthorized code execution at boot.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"little_kernel_bootloader","vendor":"little_kernel_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The image_verify function in platform/msm_shared/image_verify.c in the Little Kernel (LK) bootloader, as distributed with Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, does not check whether a certain digest size is consistent with the RSA_public_decrypt API specification, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass boot-image authentication requirements via trailing data.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0973","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0972"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-08-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4325","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-08-25"},{"cvss_score":1.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0974","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-08-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass boot-image authentication in Qualcomm LK bootloader by exploiting improper digest size validation, allowing unauthorized code execution at boot.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0973/"}
