Remote process crash via unbounded filter recursion
Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 9, 2026
Uncontrolled recursion in eProsima Fast DDS allows remote attackers in a DDS domain to crash participants via a crafted SEDP DATA submessage. The DDSSQLFilter PEG parser builds a recursive parse tree for an untrusted filterExpression without depth or practical length limits, exhausting the process stack on deeply nested conditions. Reaching the flaw requires RTPS access to the same DDS domain and a victim writer that processes content-filter discovery data; successful exploitation terminates the participant process.
