Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in RTI Connext Professional (Web Integration Service) allows Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow.This issue affects Connext Professional: from 7.4.0 before 7.*, from 7.0.0 before 7.3.1.3, from 6.1.2 before 6.1.*.
AnalysisAI
Remote denial of service and partial data exposure in RTI Connext Professional's Web Integration Service results from a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) reachable over the network without authentication. Versions 7.4.0 before 7.x, 7.0.0 before 7.3.1.3, and 6.1.2 before 6.1.x are vulnerable, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 reflects high availability impact with low confidentiality and integrity impact, consistent with a filter-failure overflow that crashes the service rather than yielding full code execution.
Technical ContextAI
RTI Connext Professional is a Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware platform widely used in real-time and mission-critical systems (defense, robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical devices). The vulnerable component is the Web Integration Service, which bridges DDS topics to web clients over HTTP/WebSocket. CWE-120 (Classic Buffer Overflow) indicates that input data is copied into a fixed-size buffer without proper length validation; the description characterizes the consequence as 'Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow', meaning oversized input bypasses a filter check and corrupts adjacent memory in the parsing path.
RemediationAI
Upgrade RTI Connext Professional to 7.3.1.3 or later on the 7.0-7.3 branch, and to the fixed 6.1.x or 7.4.x maintenance release as published by RTI per https://www.rti.com/vulnerabilities/#cve-2026-7300 (Vendor-released patch: 7.3.1.3 for the 7.0-7.3 line; consult the advisory for exact 6.1.x and 7.4.x fix builds). Until patching is possible, restrict network reachability of the Web Integration Service to trusted management VLANs by firewalling its listener port, place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy or WAF that enforces request-size limits on the affected endpoints, and disable or unload the Web Integration Service if it is not in active use - accepting the trade-off that web-based DDS clients will lose connectivity. Monitor the service for unexpected restarts or crash dumps as a high-signal indicator of exploitation attempts.
