Flight-control crash via unbounded CAN frame assembly
Published Mar 13, 2026 · Updated Mar 13, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in PX4 Autopilot before 1.17.0-rc2 allows physically proximate attackers to crash flight control via crafted CAN frames. The tattu_can multi-frame loop copies each payload into the stack-allocated Tattu12SBatteryMessage while advancing an offset without checking the destination size. Exploitation requires firmware built with CONFIG_DRIVERS_TATTU_CAN and the tattu_can service running, and it can corrupt memory and interrupt flight-control service.
