U-Boot and barebox both have the vulnerability (signature verification
with FIT images).
Barebox published an advisory[0] linking to the fixing U-Boot commit.
The commit is on u-boot v2026.04-rc4 and had to be adjusted for v2026.01.
Removed the check for the an inexistant property since it was not
supported in v2026.01.

+Subject: [PATCH] boot: Add fit_config_get_hash_list() to build signed node
+ list
+
+The hashed-nodes property in a FIT signature node lists which FDT paths
+are included in the signature hash. It is intended as a hint so should
+not be used for verification.
+
+Add a function to build the node list from scratch by iterating the
+configuration's image references. Skip properties known not to be image
+references. For each image, collect the path plus all hash and cipher
+subnodes.
+
+Use the new function in fit_config_check_sig() instead of reading
+'hashed-nodes'.
+
+Update the test_vboot kernel@ test case: fit_check_sign now catches the
+attack at signature-verification time (the @-suffixed node is hashed
+instead of the real one, causing a mismatch) rather than at
+fit_check_format() time.
+
+Update the docs to cover this. The FIT spec can be updated separately.
