Pengutronix: >> Rauc >> 1.3 Security Vulnerabilities
RAUC controls the update process on embedded Linux systems. Prior to version 1.15.2, RAUC bundles using the 'plain' format exceeding a payload size of 2 GiB cause an integer overflow which results in a signature which covers only the first few bytes of the payload. Given such a bundle with a legitimate signature, an attacker can modify the part of the payload which is not covered by the signature. This issue has been patched in version 1.15.2.

The install.c module in the Pengutronix RAUC update client prior to version 1.5 has a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use vulnerability, where signature verification on an update file takes place before the file is reopened for installation. An attacker who can modify the update file just before it is reopened can install arbitrary code on the device.
