Buffer Over-read vulnerability in RTI Connext Professional (Core Libraries) allows Overread Buffers.This issue affects Connext Professional: from 7.4.0 before 7.7.0, from 7.0.0 before 7.3.1.1, from 6.1.0 before 6.1.*, from 6.0.0 before 6.0.*, from 5.3.0 before 5.3.*, from 4.3x before 5.2.*.
AnalysisAI
Buffer over-read vulnerability in RTI Connext Professional Core Libraries allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read beyond allocated buffer boundaries, potentially leaking sensitive data. Affected versions span multiple major release lines: 7.4.0-7.6.x, 7.0.0-7.3.0.x, 6.1.0-6.1.x, 6.0.0-6.0.x, 5.3.0-5.3.x, and 4.3x-5.2.x. The CVSS 6.3 score reflects low confidentiality impact with network-based attack surface; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is rooted in CWE-126 (Buffer Over-read), a memory safety flaw in which the affected Core Libraries component of RTI Connext Professional fails to properly validate buffer boundaries during read operations. The defect affects the messaging middleware framework across multiple architectural revisions. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network-accessible attack surface (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), temporal attacks (AT:P), and unauthenticated access (PR:N), suggesting the vulnerability can be triggered via malformed network packets or specially crafted middleware protocol messages. The confidentiality impact (VC:L) and availability impact (VA:L) indicate an attacker could leak non-critical data or trigger service degradation.
RemediationAI
Apply vendor-released patches immediately: upgrade Connext Professional 7.4.x-7.6.x installations to version 7.7.0 or later, upgrade 7.0.0-7.3.0.x to version 7.3.1.1 or later, and upgrade all versions 6.1.x and earlier to the next available major release per RTI's release roadmap. Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should isolate Connext Professional infrastructure from untrusted networks, restrict inbound network access to known safe peers, and monitor RTI's security advisory page at https://www.rti.com/vulnerabilities/ for additional guidance. Consult RTI support for long-term support (LTS) versions and upgrade timelines specific to your deployment.
