Espressif ESP-IDF USB Host UVC Class Driver allows video streaming from USB cameras. Prior to 2.4.0, a vulnerability in the esp-usb UVC host implementation allows a malicious USB Video Class (UVC) device to trigger a stack buffer overflow during configuration-descriptor parsing. When UVC configuration-descriptor printing is enabled, the host prints detailed descriptor information provided by the connected USB device. A specially crafted UVC descriptor may advertise an excessively large length. Because this value is not validated before being copied into a fixed-size stack buffer, an attacker can overflow the buffer and corrupt memory. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.4.0.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Espressif ESP-IDF USB Host UVC Class Driver should be aware of notable risk from CVE-2025-68622, a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability rated CVSS 6.8. Exploitation could cause memory corruption or application crashes. A patch is available and should be applied during regular vulnerability management.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: enable ASLR/DEP, apply network segmentation.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
