CVE-2021-36357

CRITICAL CVSS: 9.8 Published: 2021-10-22 Modified: 2026-06-17

Description

An issue was discovered in OpenPOWER 2.6 firmware. unpack_timestamp() calls le32_to_cpu() for endian conversion of a uint16_t "year" value, resulting in a type mismatch that can truncate a higher integer value to a smaller one, and bypass a timestamp check. The fix is to use the right endian conversion function.

Affected Platforms
