CVE-2019-17211 (GCVE-0-2019-17211)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-11-05 15:06 – Updated: 2024-08-05 01:33
VLAI
Summary
An integer overflow was discovered in the CoAP library in Arm Mbed OS 5.14.0. The function sn_coap_builder_calc_needed_packet_data_size_2() is used to calculate the required memory for the CoAP message from the sn_coap_hdr_s data structure. Both returned_byte_count and src_coap_msg_ptr->payload_len are of type uint16_t. When added together, the result returned_byte_count can wrap around the maximum uint16_t value. As a result, insufficient buffer space is allocated for the corresponding CoAP message.
