Remote service crash via unchecked AOS security index
Published Sep 27, 2024 · Updated Mar 19, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in NASA CryptoLib 1.3.0 allows remote attackers to crash dependent software via a crafted AOS frame. Crypto_AOS_ProcessSecurity passes an attacker-controlled SPI to sa_get_from_spi without checking the in-memory SA array bounds, then dereferences the resulting invalid pointer. Exploitation requires a valid GVCID in the AOS primary header and interrupts the spacecraft or ground-station process with a segmentation fault.
