CVE-2025-68137: EVerest's Integer Overflow and Signed to Unsigned conversion lead to either stack buffer overflow or infinite loop

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 33/100)

Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 70.7% of all records.
Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Prior to version 2025.10.0, an integer overflow occurring in `SdpPacket::parse_header()` allows the current buffer length to be set to 7 after a complete header of size 8 has been read. The remaining length to read is computed using the current length subtracted by the header length which results in a negative value. This value is then interpreted as `SIZE_MAX` (or slightly less) because the expected type of the argument is `size_t`. Depending on whether the server is plain TCP or TLS, this leads to either an infinite loop or a stack buffer overflow. Version 2025.10.0 fixes the issue.

Root cause

When data is copied, the source length is not compared with the size of the destination buffer. Excess data overwrites adjacent memory.
