Remote server crash via shallow range copy
Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Aug 31, 2026
Use-after-free in o6 Automation GmbH open62541 1.5.0 through 1.5.5 allows remote attackers to crash servers via crafted history reads. UA_DataValue_backend_copyRange makes a shallow copy before validating the untrusted indexRange, allowing failed-copy cleanup to free storage still referenced by the original value. Reachability requires the in-memory History Backend and exposure of the affected range-copy path to remote OPC UA requests; the bounded consequence is a service-interrupting process crash.
