An issue was discovered in Denx U-Boot before 2026.04. An integer overflow vulnerability in the ZFS filesystem support can be triggered by malformed on-disk metadata. The issue may result in incorrect memory allocation followed by out-of-bounds memory access, potentially leading to a crash or arbitrary code execution during the boot process.
