DescriptionGitHub Advisory

BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. Prior to 1.4.3, decode_signed32() in src/bacnet/bacint.c reconstructs a 32-bit signed integer from four APDU bytes using signed left shifts. When any of the four bytes has bit 7 set (value ≥ 0x80), the left-shift operation overflows a signed int32_t, which is undefined behavior per the C standard. This is flagged thousands of times per minute by UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer on any BACnet input containing signed-integer property values with high-bit-set bytes. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.3.

AnalysisAI

BACnet Stack prior to version 1.4.3 exhibits undefined behavior in the decode_signed32() function when processing signed-integer property values containing bytes with the high bit set, causing denial of service through integer overflow. Network-remote attackers can trigger this vulnerability by sending specially crafted BACnet packets with high-bit-set byte sequences, resulting in application instability or crash on embedded systems running vulnerable versions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Attacker must be network-reachable to the BACnet Stack instance (implying BACnet service port exposure, typically UDP port 47808). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 3.7 with AV:N/AC:H indicates network-remote attack vector but requires high attack complexity, suggesting non-trivial exploitation constraints. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker on the network sends a BACnet frame containing a signed-integer property value with bytes having bit 7 set (e.g., 0x80 or higher). The vulnerable decode_signed32() function processes this frame, triggering a signed left-shift integer overflow that violates C standard undefined behavior. …
Remediation Upgrade BACnet Stack to version 1.4.3 or later, which corrects the signed integer overflow in decode_signed32(). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
