CVE-2026-71255
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
nanoMODBUS through v1.23.0 contains an out-of-bounds write in the Modbus client-side recv_read_device_identification_res function (FC 0x2B/MEI 0x0E, Read Device Identification) in nanomodbus.c. The server-supplied object_length field (0-246) is validated only against the remaining PDU size (res_size_left) and is never validated against the caller-supplied buffers_length parameter.

"value": "nanoMODBUS hasta la v1.23.0 contiene una escritura fuera de límites en la función recv_read_device_identification_res() del lado del cliente Modbus (FC 0x2B/MEI 0x0E, Identificación de Lectura de Dispositivo) en nanomodbus.c. El campo object_length (0-246) suministrado por el servidor se valida solo contra el tamaño PDU restante (res_size_left) y nunca se valida contra el parámetro buffers_length suministrado por el llamador. Después de copiar datos con strncpy(buffers_out[buf_index], str, buffers_length), el código escribe incondicionalmente un terminador NUL en buffers_out[buf_index][object_length]. Cuando un servidor Modbus malicioso o comprometido envía una respuesta con object_length mayor o igual que el buffers_length del cliente, esta escritura NUL aterriza más allá del final del búfer proporcionado por el llamador, corrompiendo la memoria adyacente de la pila o del montón en el cliente."
