CVE-2026-42469 Details
Description
Buffer overflow vulnerability in Open Vehicle Monitoring System 3 (OVMS3) 3.3.005. In canformat_canswitch.cpp the parser does not properly validate a CANswitch DLC value, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted CANswitch frames.
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in Open Vehicle Monitoring System 3 (OVMS3) version 3.3.005. The issue arises in the CANswitch log format parser, where the parser fails to properly validate the Data Length Code (DLC) of incoming CANswitch frames. This lack of validation allows remote attackers to send crafted CANswitch frames that can lead to a denial-of-service condition or potentially execute arbitrary code.
