DNS Leak in Native System VPN in Google ChromeOS Dev Channel on ChromeOS 129.0.6668.36 allows network observers to expose plaintext DNS queries via failure to properly tunnel DNS traffic during VPN state transitions.

Weakness

The device is susceptible to electromagnetic fault injection attacks, causing device internal information to be compromised or security mechanisms to be bypassed.

Extended Description

Electromagnetic fault injection may allow an attacker to locally and dynamically modify the signals (both internal and external) of an integrated circuit. EM-FI attacks consist of producing a local, transient magnetic field near the device, inducing current in the device wires. A typical EMFI setup is made up of a pulse injection circuit that generates a high current transient in an EMI coil, producing an abrupt magnetic pulse which couples to the target producing faults in the device, which can lead to:
