DescriptionCVE.org

MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 fails to validate that serialized string lengths are non-negative in CMOOSMsg::operator>>. Unauthenticated attackers can send a crafted message with a negative length value to the MOOSDB port, causing an unhandled exception that terminates the database process.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated denial-of-service in MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 allows remote attackers to crash the central MOOSDB process by sending a single crafted message containing a negative serialized string length value. The negative integer passes the existing arithmetic check in CMOOSMsg::operator>> but is then implicitly widened to an enormous size_t by string allocation routines, triggering an unhandled std::exception that escapes the server accept loop and terminates the MOOSDB process - halting all MOOS inter-process communication. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation MOOSDB must be running and its TCP port must be reachable by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) yields a score of 8.7, indicating a high-severity, network-reachable, zero-prerequisite denial-of-service with no ambiguity in metric choice - the attack requires a single crafted packet with no authentication, complexity, or user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the upstream fix by cherry-picking commit 04c92981091fdaa2ff85e2ba7eff94f6288bdbaf or building from the patched branch referenced in GitHub PR #74 (https://github.com/themoos/core-moos/pull/74). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all MOOS core-moos deployments and identify instances running version 10.4.0 or earlier; retrieve the patched version from the vendor advisory. …
