| Poor System Menu TMD size check
|
boot1 loads the System Menu's TMD for verification and loading, and it attempts to check the size. However, instead of checking if size > capacity, it checks if size > size, which is always false, resulting in a buffer overflow.

| Overlays are not verified when they are loaded.
|
While the System Menu checks all cartridge overlays to prevent unauthorized software, no such check exists when the overlays are actually loaded. By changing the overlay after it is checked, it is possible to run arbitrary code.
