barebox version prior to 2026.04.0 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in ext4 directory parsing in fs/ext4/ext4_common.c where the ext4fs_iterate_dir() function fails to validate that directory entry length values are non-zero. Attackers can supply a malicious ext4 filesystem image with a crafted directory entry containing a direntlen value of 0 to cause an infinite loop during directory listing or path resolution, resulting in the boot process hanging indefinitely.
Review the upstream advisory, identify the affected product in your inventory, and apply the vendor update when one is available.
CVE-2026-34962 is listed in the HOL Guard supply-chain feed, but affected software is not mapped to a package.
