Shahriyar Jalayeri and Mehrun P. Hunter discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled certain NFS READ and NFS READLINK responses. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2026-74220, CVE-2026-74221)
Shahriyar Jalayeri and Mehrun P. Hunter discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled certain HTTP data storage failures in its lwIP implementation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger a use-after-free, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-74222)
Shahriyar Jalayeri and Mehrun P. Hunter discovered that U-Boot did not properly validate certain DHCPv6 option lengths during network boot. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger out-of-bounds memory access, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-74225)
