CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N

An issue in Raspberry Pi Imager version 1.9.6 for Windows, affecting its OS customization feature. The imager's 'public-key authentication' setting unintentionally re-adds a user's idrsa.pub key from their local Windows machine to the authorizedkeys file on the Raspberry Pi, even after the user explicitly deletes the key from the user interface. This creates an unintended attack surface, as it could allow an attacker to use a different key than the intended one to login to the device.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ARM: dts: bcm2711: Fix xHCI power-domain

During s2idle tests on the Raspberry CM4 the VPU firmware always crashes on xHCI power-domain resume:

root@raspberrypi:/sys/power# echo freeze > state [ 70.724347] xhcisuspend finished [ 70.727730] xhciplatsuspend finished [ 70.755624] bcm2835-power bcm2835-power: Power grafx off [ 70.761127] USB: Set power to 0

[ 74.653040] USB: Failed to set power to 1 (-110)

This seems to be caused because of the mixed usage of raspberrypi-power and bcm2835-power at the same time. So avoid the usage of the VPU firmware power-domain driver, which prevents the VPU crash.

EEPROM firmware on Raspberry Pi 5 and Compute Module 5 devices produced non-random KASLR and RNG seed values. This resulted in consistent kernel addresses across boots and devices, potentially making it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities. Additionally, the low-quality RNG seed may affect the quality of random numbers or delay booting while sufficient entropy is accumulated from other sources.
