important · Firmware — EL3

A compromised Altera SoCFPGA normal world can cross into EL3-protected physical memory.

Affects

Altera Trusted Firmware for ARM Hard Processor System SoCFPGA platforms, providing the BL31 EL3 secure monitor beneath an embedded operating system.

High-privilege normal-world code can pass attacker-selected addresses and sizes to insufficiently validated SiP handlers; separate VAB and HKDF paths expose EL3 memory-corruption conditions.
