CVE-2021-27208

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2021-27208 is a buffer overflow vulnerability affecting Xilinx Zynq-7000 and Zynq-7000S devices and their firmware. When booting from NAND flash, the ROM's NAND driver fails to validate parameter page inputs, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution if a field is excessively large. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.8) requires physical access to the board to replace the NAND flash with an emulation device, making it a complex attack. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
