CVE-2024-6030
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows local attackers with initial code execution in the oFono sandbox on Tesla Model S vehicles to escape the sandbox and modify interfaces. This bypasses the iptables network sandbox, potentially allowing broader system access. Only Tesla Model S vehicles with the vulnerable oFono configuration are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Tesla Model S
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
An attacker could gain full control of the vehicle's infotainment system, potentially accessing other vehicle systems, modifying critical interfaces, or establishing persistence for further attacks.
Likely Case
An attacker with initial access could bypass network restrictions, access other processes or data within the system, and potentially execute code with higher privileges.
If Mitigated
With proper sandboxing and network controls, the impact would be limited to the oFono process scope only.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires initial code execution in the oFono sandbox, then exploitation of the privilege issue to escape sandbox and modify interfaces.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not specified in public advisory
Vendor Advisory: https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-25-263/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Check for Tesla vehicle software updates via the vehicle's touchscreen. 2. Install any available updates. 3. Ensure the vehicle is connected to Wi-Fi for updates. 4. Restart the vehicle after update installation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict oFono privileges
linuxModify oFono process permissions to remove unnecessary interface modification capabilities
# Requires Tesla-specific system access and configuration
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Limit physical access to the vehicle and monitor for unauthorized modifications
- Implement network segmentation to isolate vehicle systems from critical networks
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Tesla vehicle software version and compare with patched versions from Tesla advisoriesCheck Version:
# Check via Tesla vehicle touchscreen: Controls > Software > Vehicle Software VersionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify oFono process no longer has unnecessary interface modification privileges after update📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual oFono process behavior
- Unauthorized interface modifications
- Sandbox escape attempts
Network Indicators:
- Unexpected network traffic from vehicle systems
