Multiple memory leaks in openNDS before 11.0.0 allow an unauthenticated attacker on the captive portal network to exhaust all available memory on the device within minutes.
AnalysisAI
Memory exhaustion vulnerabilities in openNDS before 11.0.0 allow an unauthenticated attacker on the captive portal network to crash the portal daemon within minutes by triggering unfreed heap allocations in the authentication handler. The root cause is CWE-401 (missing memory release) in src/auth.c, where intermediate buffers allocated during gateway interface lookups in client_auth() are never freed on certain code paths. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have network adjacency to the captive portal segment served by openNDS - in practice, this means connecting to the associated WiFi access point, which is typically open or trivially accessible in public hotspot deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 5.3 vector AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H correctly captures the availability-only, adjacent-network nature of this flaw but the AC:H rating appears conservative given that the CVE description states exhaustion occurs within minutes with no described timing or race condition prerequisite. … 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 | Upgrade to openNDS 11.0.0 or later, which incorporates the fixes from commits f2332e68c6d34f8403db346e380fff3817020d5c and b2801d9f14af44a23be7e9a1c378623bc5947c4c in the openNDS GitHub repository (https://github.com/openNDS/openNDS). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
