CVE-2024-28231: Manipulated DATA Submessage causes a heap-buffer-overflow error

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.94% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 60.9% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: fastdds (Debian:13) 2.14.0+ds-2.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 9.7, NVD 7.5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to fastdds (Debian:13) 2.14.0+ds-2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard of the Object Management Group. Prior to versions 2.14.0, 2.13.4, 2.12.3, 2.10.4, and 2.6.8, manipulated DATA Submessage can cause a heap overflow error in the Fast-DDS process, causing the process to be terminated remotely. Additionally, the payload_size in the DATA Submessage packet is declared as uint32_t. When a negative number, such as -1, is input into this variable, it results in an Integer Overflow (for example, -1 gets converted to 0xFFFFFFFF). This eventually leads to a heap-buffer-overflow, causing the program to terminate. Versions 2.14.0, 2.13.4, 2.12.3, 2.10.4, and 2.6.8 contain a fix for this issue.
