A remote attacker with user privileges can exploit a stack buffer overflow in dali-devconfig to gain full system access as root.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation to root via stack buffer overflow in dali-devconfig affects MBS gateway products including Single-A, Single-X, and the Double-A/Double-X family (Profibus, X-Link, CAN, DALI, KNX, LON, M-Bus, Profinet). A remote attacker holding low-level user credentials can exploit the flaw to gain full system access, with CVSS 4.0 scoring it 8.7 (High). No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) and resides in dali-devconfig, a configuration utility tied to the DALI lighting/automation interface exposed by the MBS gateway line. The affected CPEs cover MBS protocol gateways used to bridge fieldbus and building-automation networks (Profibus, Profinet, KNX, LON, M-Bus, CAN, DALI, X-Link). Stack overflows in such embedded fieldbus gateways typically arise from unbounded copies of attacker-controlled configuration strings into fixed-size stack buffers, enabling control-flow hijack once the saved return address or adjacent stack data is overwritten. Because dali-devconfig appears to execute with elevated privileges, exploitation yields root on the gateway operating system.
RemediationAI
Patch availability is not explicitly stated in the provided data; consult the CERT@VDE advisory at https://www.certvde.com/en/advisories/VDE-2026-039/ for the vendor-released fixed firmware version for each MBS Single-A, Single-X, Double-A, and Double-X model and upgrade to that build. Until patched firmware can be deployed, compensating controls should focus on the PR:L prerequisite: restrict network reachability of the gateway management/configuration interface to a dedicated engineering VLAN or jump host so dali-devconfig is not reachable from operator or IT networks (side effect: remote configuration workflows must transit the jump host), rotate any shared or default low-privilege gateway accounts and enforce unique strong credentials per operator (side effect: operational overhead), and monitor authentication and configuration activity on the gateway for anomalous dali-devconfig invocations. Disabling the DALI configuration service entirely is only viable on gateways where DALI functionality is unused.
