What to do

Description

CVE-2025-70290 is a critical integer overflow vulnerability in the ZFS filesystem support of Denx U-Boot before version 2026.04. It can be triggered by malformed on-disk metadata, causing incorrect memory allocation and potentially leading to out-of-bounds memory access. This may result in a crash or arbitrary code execution during the boot process.
