CVE-2025-59605: Out-of-bounds Write in HLOS
Memory Corruption when processing device identifier strings that exceed the expected maximum length.
Affected Software
Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Configuration
Implement proper bounds checking for device identifier strings in HLOS. Enforce the expected maximum length and either reject or safely truncate inputs that exceed that length to prevent out-of-bounds writes (memory corruption).
HLOS device identifier length handling = enforce expected maximum length / reject or safely truncate inputs that exceed the limit - Compensating control
Until a code fix is available, restrict or block untrusted sources from sending device identifier strings to the HLOS interface (for example using network ACLs, firewall rules, or a WAF) to reduce exposure to malformed overly-long identifiers.
