Overview

CVE-2024-31225 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 1, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

RIOT is a real-time multi-threading operating system that supports a range of devices that are typically 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers. The `_on_rd_init()` function does not implement a size check before copying data to the `_result_buf` static buffer. If an attacker can craft a long enough payload, they could cause a buffer overflow. If the unchecked input above is attacker-controlled and crosses a security boundary, the impact of the buffer overflow vulnerability could range from denial of service to arbitrary code execution. This issue has yet to be patched. Users are advised to add manual bounds checking.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
