Heap-memory disclosure via unchecked UD2 encapsulated-file size
Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Mar 18, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Mercedes Benz NTG 6 allows physically proximate attackers to read heap memory via a crafted USB profile backup. The profile-import path decodes a proprietary UD2 file and reads its encapsulated content without validating its size against the allocated heap buffer. Physical access to the exposed in-vehicle USB service and interaction to import the backup are required; the reported consequence is limited to adjacent heap-memory disclosure.
