CVE-2023-51455

Code execution via unchecked packet acknowledgment index

Published Apr 2, 2024 · Updated Aug 8, 2024

Improper array-index validation in DJI drone firmware allows attackers to execute code through crafted adjacent-network packets. The on_receive_session_packet_ack function in libv2_sdk.so uses an acknowledgment array index without validating it, allowing a crafted packet to corrupt a controlled memory location. The v2_sdk_service listens on port 10000; exploitation requires adjacent access, low privileges, high-complexity conditions, and user interaction, and can disclose memory or execute code.
