Researchers disclose multiple exploitable bugs: a race condition in the diagnostic service lets an attacker win a TOCTOU to write a signed update and get root via USB or OBD; a stack buffer overflow in navigation map update (no canary, ASLR off) yields code execution; a provisioning MD5/HTTP flaw plus hardcoded NGTP keys and SMS triggers let a fake GSM (USRP/OpenBTS) force updates, exploit an out‑of‑date WebKit UAF for a browser shell, escalate to CAN transmit and craft UDS to reach other ECUs; mitigations roll out OTA—86% first attempt, 96% after retries.
