Title
Ledger Nano X, Flex, Stax MCU Firmware Update Denial of Service
Summary
Ledger Nano X, Flex, and Stax devices contain a denial of service vulnerability in the MCU firmware update process due to missing validation of the reset_handler parameter during firmware flashing. An attacker can provide a crafted reset_handler address pointing to invalid memory or attacker-controlled code to cause the device to enter an unrecoverable fault state during boot, resulting in permanent loss of operability.
