| FIRM partitions known-plaintext
| The [[Flash_Filesystem|FIRM partitions]] are encrypted with AES-CTR without a MAC. Since this works by XOR'ing data with a static (per-console in this case) keystream, one can deduce the keystream of a portion of each FIRM partition if they have the actual FIRM binary stored in it.
This can be paired with many exploits. For example, it allows minor FIRM downgrades (i.e. 10.4 to 9.6 or 9.5 to 9.4, but not 9.6 to 9.5).
However it is most commonly used to install arbitrary FIRMs (usually boot9strap), thanks to sighax.
This can be somewhat addressed by having a FIRM header skip over previously used section offsets, but this would just air-gap newer FIRMs without fixing the core bug. This can also only be done a limited number of times due to the size of FIRM versus the size of the partitions.

| sighax: Boot9 improper validation of FIRM partition RSA signatures
| The [[Flash_Filesystem|FIRM partitions]] are signed with RSA-2048 using SHA-256 and PKCS #1 v1.5 padding. Boot9, however, improperly validates the padding in three ways:
# Boot9 permits block type 02, meant for encrypted messages, to be used for signatures. Only 01, for signatures, should have been permitted. As a result, when using block type 02, a signature block is not required to have a long string of FF bytes as padding, but rather any nonzero random values suffice.
# Boot9 does not require that the length of the padding fill out the signature block completely. As a result, there is considerable freedom in the layout of a signature.
# Boot9 fails to do bounds checking in its parsing of the DER-encoded hash algorithm type and hash value; the length values given in DER are permitted to point outside the signature block.
Flaw 3 allows the DER encoding to be such that boot9 believes that the signature's hash value is outside the range of the block itself, somewhere on the stack. This can be pointed at the correct hash value it computes. Boot9 then memcmp's the calculated hash against itself, and thinks that the hash is valid.
As a result of the above, we estimate that one in 2<sup>43</sup> (~8.8 trillion) random fake signatures will be considered by Boot9 to be valid. This is well within the range of brute force, particularly with an optimized GPU implementation. An Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti would take about one week to find a match.

| "superhax": Boot9 FIRM loading blacklist check is flawed
| Boot9 only makes sure the '''start''' and '''end''' address of each section is not covered by a blacklisted region. Thus, it is possible to overwrite blacklisted regions (e.g. ARM9 Exception Vectors) by choosing a FIRM section range that encloses an entire blacklisted region. The vulnerable code looks like this: if(blRegions[i].start <= sectionStart && blRegions[i].end > sectionStart <nowiki>||</nowiki> blRegions[i].start <= sectionEnd && blRegions[i].end > sectionEnd) return false; // failure

| arm9loader runs on Old3DS
| Despite being written only for New3DS, all of arm9loader runs fine on Old3DS. It's not until booting Kernel9 that a New3DS FIRM partition would crash on an Old3DS. As a result, if a bug exists in arm9loader to get control, it can be exploited on Old3DS by writing New3DS FIRM to the FIRM partitions. Thus, arm9loaderhax works on both Old3DS and New3DS.

| twlhax: Corrupted SRL header leads to memory overwrite
| During TWL_FIRM boot, the ARM11 process TwlBg puts launcher.srl, the DSi bootloader, into FCRAM. TWL_FIRM Process9 then parses the [http://dsibrew.org/wiki/NDS_Format SRL header] to place launcher.srl's code where DSi mode can execute it.
DSi-mode memory is in FCRAM, but interleaved. Each byte of DSi-mode memory also exists at some address in 3DS FCRAM space.
Process9 does not validate the RSA signature on launcher.srl, unlike SRLs loaded from cartridge or NAND (DSiWare). A compromised ARM11 can, in a manner similar to firmlaunchhax, send a launcher.srl with a modified SRL header. By setting the SRL header's ARM7/ARM9 load addresses and sizes carefully, accounting for the different memory map and for DSi mode's interleaved memory, it is possible to overwrite part of Process9's stack and take control with a ROP chain.

| safefirmhax 1.1
| Nintendo's original safefirmhax fix was flawed -- they added a global boolean that got set to true whenever a non-sysmodule title got launched (except for a hardcoded repair title id), and panic()'d if that boolean was true to prevent launching safefirm after hax was active. However, because the boolean was initially false after firmlaunch -- With ARM11-kernel execution, one could FIRM-launch into NATIVE_FIRM, and then immediately FIRM-launch again into SAFE_FIRM early in NATIVE_FIRM boot before the boolean got set to true to repeat the safehax attack.
This was fixed by adding additional CFG9_BOOTENV checks to firmlaunch code in 11.4.

| TWL_FIRM cmd-9 unchecked offset
| In [[1.0.0-0|1.0.0-X]]'s TWL_FIRM, cmds 8 and 9 were not stubbed (whereas in the corresponding NATIVE_FIRM, they were).
Command 8 does the Process9 initialisation for NTR carts if an NTR cart is inserted (NTR, not TWL, judged by chipid).
Command 9 takes (u32 offset_read, u32 offset_write, u32 offset_read_end), and basically just copies (offset_read_end - offset_read) bytes starting at (offset_read) of [NTR cart header in arm9mem, NTR secure area in fcram, TWL secure area in fcram], to 0x18001000 + offset_write + offset_read.
offset_write is not checked at all, thus this leads to ARM9 code execution as long as any NTR cart, including flashcarts that would normally be blocked by TWL_FIRM, is inserted.
In [[2.0.0-2|2.0.0-X]] TWL_FIRM, those commands were stubbed out.

| FIRM launch doesn't check target FIRM version
| When executing a FIRM launch, Process9 doesn't validate that the target FIRM isn't an old version. This allows booting an exploitable FIRM from a newer FIRM, if you can get the exploitable FIRM installed. ([[11.0.0-33|11.0.0-X]] now prevents installing old versions of system titles, but this doesn't affect titles already installed.)
This had a use after [[9.6.0-24|9.6.0-X]]: on a compromised 3DS running 9.2.0, you could install the 9.6.0 NATIVE_FIRM to FIRM0/FIRM1, but avoid putting it into the NATIVE_FIRM title. This would boot the 9.2.0 system software but with the 9.6.0 Process9 and Kernel11. With a user-mode exploit in a sufficiently-privileged application (e.g. mset), you could trigger a FIRM launch back to NATIVE_FIRM, which would load the 9.2.0 Process9 and Kernel11.
9.6.0's keyslots 0x15 and 0x16 are unknown to 9.2.0, so 9.2.0 would not clear them. You then could do firmlaunchhax against 9.2.0 to get ARM9 access with keyslots 0x15 and 0x16 set to their proper 9.6.0 values, allowing decrypting 9.6.0's encrypted titles. Once the New3DS keystore was dumped, this became moot.

| Half of the movable.sed keyY's 128 bits are leaked through the [[Nandrw/sys/LocalFriendCodeSeed_B|LFCS]], which is available in userland and below. The LFCS itself also leaks almost half of the remaining bits by following the ratio: u32 keyY[3]=1/5(LFCS). The remaining keyY[3] uncertainty of about ±2000 can be greatly reduced by plotting expected error margins with several keyYs. This results in a final uncertainty of about 2^40, easily within practical brute force range of an average modern PC.

| [[SVC|svcGetThreadList]] process reference leak
| When given a valid process handle (including <code>0xFFFF8001</code>), svcGetThreadList forgets to decrement the reference count of the underlying [[KProcess]] instance, after having finished using it.

| [[SM]] out-of-bounds BSS write (table 1 entry too small)
| After accepting a new session, [[SM]] writes a (handler ID (0 for srv: sessions (max. 64), 1 for the srv:pm one), pointer to session context structure in BSS) pair in a global array. However that array is only 64-entry-big instead of 65 (as it ought to be), and no bound check is done in that regard.
Unfortunately, as of [[11.4.0-37]], the overwritten fields are totally unused after their initialization by <code>__libc_init_array</code>.

| [[Config_Services|CFG]]:CreateConfigInfoBlk integer underflow
| When creating a new block it checks the size of the block is <= 0x8000, but it doesn't check that the block size is less than the remaining space. This induces an integer underflow (remaining_space-block_size), the result is then used for another check (buf_start+current_offset+constant <= remaining_space-block_size) and then in a mempcy call (dest = buf_start+(u16)(remaining_space-block_size), size =block_size). This allow for writing past the buffer, however because of the u16 cast in the memcpy call memory has to be mapped from buf_start to buf_start+0x10000 (cannot write backward).
| Theoritically ROP under CFG services, but BSS section is to small (size <= 0x10000) so it only results in a crash.

| GSP module does not validate addresses given to the GPU. This allows a user-mode application/applet to read/write to a large part of physical FCRAM using GPU DMA. From this, you can overwrite the .text segment of the application you're running under, and gain real code-execution from a ROP-chain. Normally applets' .text([[Home Menu]], [[Internet Browser]], etc) is located beyond the area accessible by the GPU, except for [[RO_Services|CROs]] used by applets([[Internet Browser]] for example).
