Firmware crash via unchecked debug frame length
Published Sep 10, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Bosch Sensortec BHI385 SensorAPI 1.1.0 through 2.1.0 allows attackers to crash host firmware. bhi385_parse_debug_message trusts callback_info->data_ptr[0] as a copy length and passes it to memcpy for a 17-byte stack buffer without limiting the payload to 16 bytes. A malicious or compromised sensor or bus participant can supply an oversized FIFO debug frame, causing a firmware crash or adjacent-stack corruption that enables arbitrary code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=1.1.0 <=2.1.0
