Reachable over the Zigbee network (AV:N) with a single low-complexity frame, but requires an already-joined device (PR:L); impact is process crash only, so A:H with C:N/I:N.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
In EmberZNet v9.0.2 and earlier, a malformed GetProfileResponse message can trigger out-of-bounds reads while iterating interval entries and terminate the process. These messages must come from a device that has already joined the network, and no information leakage back to the sender was observed. Only devices supporting the Simple Metering cluster may be impacted.
AnalysisAI
Remote denial of service in Silicon Labs EmberZNet Zigbee stack (v9.0.2 and earlier) lets an already-joined network device crash the target by sending a malformed Simple Metering GetProfileResponse message that triggers an out-of-bounds read while iterating interval entries, terminating the process. Exploitation requires the attacker to be an authenticated member of the Zigbee network and only affects devices implementing the Simple Metering cluster. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no information leakage back to the sender was observed.
Technical ContextAI
EmberZNet is Silicon Labs' widely-embedded Zigbee protocol stack used in smart metering and IoT mesh devices. The flaw lives in the handling of the Simple Metering cluster's GetProfileResponse command, which carries a count of profile interval entries followed by the entry data. The root cause is CWE-125 (Out-of-Bounds Read): the parser iterates over interval entries based on an attacker-influenced count/length without correctly bounding the read against the actual payload size, causing it to read past the buffer and crash. Per the CPE, the affected product is cpe:2.3:a:silicon_labs:emberznet across versions, scoped specifically to firmware that supports the Simple Metering (metering) cluster.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade EmberZNet beyond the affected 9.0.2-and-earlier line using the fixed release distributed through Silicon Labs (advisory: https://siliconlabs.lightning.force.com/sfc/servlet.shepherd/document/download/069Vm00000pEGPQIA4?operationContext=S1; source/release tracking: https://github.com/SiliconLabsSoftware/sisdk-release/) - an exact fixed version number was not stated in the available data, so confirm the target build with Silicon Labs before deploying firmware to fielded devices. Where immediate firmware update is impractical, compensating controls include disabling or not provisioning the Simple Metering cluster on devices that do not require it (trade-off: breaks metering/profile reporting functionality), and tightening Zigbee network admission so only trusted, vetted devices can join and obtain the network key (trade-off: increased commissioning friction), since exploitation requires an already-joined device. Monitor affected nodes for unexpected resets/process termination as a detection signal.
