2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the µD3TN node to be processing BPv6 bundles through its fragmenter, AND a memory allocation to fail during the fragmenter cleanup path - the allocation failure is the specific precondition that reaches the use-after-free (per the description's 'on Allocation Failure'). No authentication is required (PR:N) and the vector is network-based (AV:N), but the realistic limiter is that the attacker does not directly control whether an allocation fails; this is reflected in AC:H and means reliable triggering typically depends on the node being under memory pressure or otherwise resource-constrained. Impact is confined to availability (daemon crash/DoS); there is no confidentiality or integrity effect. Affected versions are not enumerated in the available data. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity availability issue (CVSS 5.9) rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw with no confidentiality or integrity impact - purely a denial-of-service on the availability axis - and a HIGH attack complexity, meaning the attacker cannot reliably trigger it on demand. The limiting signal here is the trigger condition: per the description the use-after-free fires specifically 'on Allocation Failure' during BPv6 fragmenter cleanup, i.e. the vulnerable path is reached only when a memory allocation fails, which is why AC:H is assigned. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), which is consistent with a real but non-urgent DoS. EPSS is not provided in the input, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no proof-of-concept or exploit code is indicated - so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization. Net assessment: a genuine but bounded remote DoS against a niche product; worth patching on a normal cycle rather than treating as a drop-everything incident. Note the input 'Information Disclosure' tag conflicts with the CVSS impact (C:N) and the DoS-only description - treat the tag as suspect, not evidence of data exposure. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends BPv6 bundles to a reachable µD3TN node so that the bundle protocol agent performs fragmentation. If a memory allocation fails during the fragmenter cleanup path, a use-after-free is triggered that crashes or destabilizes the daemon, denying service to legitimate DTN traffic. The high attack complexity reflects that the attacker must coincide the malicious processing with an allocation-failure condition rather than triggering it at will; no public exploit code is identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026
µD3TN daemon crashes and denial of service can result from a use-after-free in the Bundle Protocol version 6 (BPv6) fragmenter cleanup path. The flaw is reachable by remote, unauthenticated attackers per the CVSS vector, but triggering it requires the node to be processing BPv6 bundles and a memory allocation to fail during cleanup, so reliable exploitation depends on memory pressure or resource constraints. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis and active exploitation has not been confirmed; the CVSS 5.9 score reflects availability-only impact with high attack complexity.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, and no fixed release can be confirmed at time of analysis. The GitLab work item https://gitlab.com/d3tn/ud3tn/-/work_items/291 is the only fix-tracking reference supplied. The available advisory does not document a specific workaround for the BPv6 fragmenter cleanup path, so no verified configuration mitigation can be stated; operators should monitor the vendor work item for a patched release and should not assume any µD3TN version is fixed until that reference names one.

Technical ContextAI · show details
µD3TN is a delay-tolerant networking implementation associated with d3tn_gmbh, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:d3tn_gmbh:µd3tn:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with a wildcard version match. The flaw is CWE-416 (use-after-free) in the BPv6 fragmenter cleanup path: the description states the use-after-free is reached on allocation failure during fragmenter cleanup, which points to cleanup logic that accesses memory after it has been freed when an allocation does not succeed. The CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, confirming network reachability and no authentication or user interaction from the vector, while AC:H is consistent with the assessment that the attacker does not directly control whether the allocation failure occurs. The supplied sources do not describe the exact code path or how an attacker would induce the allocation failure, and affected version ranges are not enumerated.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Network-reachable and unauthenticated (AV:N/PR:N); AC:H because the use-after-free is only reached when an allocation fails during cleanup; impact is availability-only DoS, so C:N/I:N/A:H.

Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when a program continues to access memory through a pointer after that memory has been deallocated.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
