CVE-2025-30216 Details
Description
CryptoLib provides a software-only solution using the CCSDS Space Data Link Security Protocol - Extended Procedures (SDLS-EP) to secure communications between a spacecraft running the core Flight System (cFS) and a ground station. In versions 1.3.3 and prior, a Heap Overflow vulnerability occurs in the `Crypto_TM_ProcessSecurity` function (`crypto_tm.c:1735:8`). When processing the Secondary Header Length of a TM protocol packet, if the Secondary Header Length exceeds the packet's total length, a heap overflow is triggered during the memcpy operation that copies packet data into the dynamically allocated buffer `p_new_dec_frame`. This allows an attacker to overwrite adjacent heap memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or system instability. A patch is available at commit 810fd66d592c883125272fef123c3240db2f170f.
A heap overflow vulnerability has been identified in CryptoLib versions through 1.3.3. The issue arises in the `Crypto_TM_ProcessSecurity` function when the Secondary Header Length of a TM protocol packet exceeds the total packet length. This oversight allows for a heap overflow during the `memcpy` operation, where packet data is copied into a dynamically allocated buffer. The vulnerability can be exploited to overwrite adjacent heap memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or system instability.
Users can update to the patched version of CryptoLib, which is available in the commit 810fd66d592c883125272fef123c3240db2f170f.
