Zenoh bridge crash via unchecked payload length
Published Mar 13, 2026 · Updated Mar 13, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in PX4 Autopilot before 1.17.0-rc2 allows remote attackers to crash the Zenoh bridge task. The data_handler path in uorb_subscriber.hpp sizes a stack VLA from an unbounded fragmented-message length and copies the entire payload into it. Exploitation requires access as a publisher to an adjacent Zenoh network and a firmware build containing the Zenoh module; the demonstrated consequence is a bridge-task crash.
