CVE-2020-11684  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-326  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade linux4sam/at91bootstrap to version 3.9.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Encryption. AT91bootstrap before 3.9.2 does not properly wipe encryption and authentication keys from memory before passing control to a less privileged software component. This can be exploited to disclose these keys and subsequently encrypt and sign the next boot stage (such as the bootloader).
