CVE-2024-28231

Summary

CVE-2024-28231 is a vulnerability affecting eprosima Fast DDS, a C++ implementation of the Object Management Group's Data Distribution Service standard. Prior to versions 2.14.0, 2.13.4, 2.12.3, 2.10.4, and 2.6.8, a manipulated DATA Submessage can induce a heap overflow error in the Fast-DDS process, potentially allowing remote termination. This issue arises due to an incorrect handling of a uint32_t variable named payload_size in the DATA Submessage packet. When a negative number is input, it results in an integer overflow, triggering a heap-buffer-overflow that terminates the program. Versions 2.14.0, 2.13.4, 2.12.3, 2.10.4, and 2.6.8 have been released with the necessary fixes for this vulnerability.
