Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in TCP Stack of Apache NuttX (incubating) versions up to and including 9.1.0 and 10.0.0 allows attacker to corrupt memory by supplying and invalid fragmentation offset value specified in the IP header. This is only impacts builds with both CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL and CONFIG_NET_TCP_REASSEMBLY build flags enabled.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in TCP Stack of Apache NuttX (incubating) versions up to and including 9.1.0 and 10.0.0 allows attacker to corrupt memory by supplying and invalid fragmentation. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in TCP Stack of Apache NuttX (incubating) versions up to and including 9.1.0 and 10.0.0 allows attacker to corrupt memory by supplying and invalid fragmentation offset value specified in the IP header. This is only impacts builds with both CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL and CONFIG_NET_TCP_REASSEMBLY build flags enabled. Affected products include: Apache Nuttx.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
