CVE-2023-46256
31.10.2023, 16:15
PX4-Autopilot provides PX4 flight control solution for drones. In versions 1.14.0-rc1 and prior, PX4-Autopilot has a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the parser function due to the absence of `parserbuf_index` value checking. A malfunction of the sensor device can cause a heap buffer overflow with leading unexpected drone behavior. Malicious applications can exploit the vulnerability even if device sensor malfunction does not occur. Up to the maximum value of an `unsigned int`, bytes sized data can be written to the heap memory area. As of time of publication, no fixed version is available.

Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-120 - Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')The program copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
- CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds WriteThe software writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
