CVE-2022-35624

Heap overflow via invalid segmented-packet offset

Published Aug 15, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Heap overflow in Nordic nRF5 SDK for Mesh 5.0 allows physically proximate attackers to corrupt memory via segmented packets. The transport reassembly path fails to reject a segment whose SegO exceeds SegN and uses that offset while placing segment data, writing past the heap-backed reassembly allocation. Reachability requires Bluetooth Mesh packet injection by a sender able to participate in the mesh; the documented outcome stops at heap corruption.
