{"id":"CVE-2025-29911","aliases":["EUVD-2025-6610","GHSA-7g6g-9gj4-8c68"],"status":"published","title":"CryptoLib Has Heap Buffer Overflow in Crypto_AOS_ProcessSecurity Function","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. A critical heap buffer overflow vulnerability was identified in the `Crypto_AOS_ProcessSecurity` function of CryptoLib versions 1.3.3 and prior. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) or potentially execute arbitrary code (RCE) by providing a maliciously crafted AOS frame with an insufficient length. The vulnerability lies in the function `Crypto_AOS_ProcessSecurity`, specifically during the processing of the Frame Error Control Field (FECF). The affected code attempts to read from the `p_ingest` buffer at indices `current_managed_parameters_struct.max_frame_size - 2` and `current_managed_parameters_struct.max_frame_size - 1` without verifying if `len_ingest` is sufficiently large. This leads to a heap buffer overflow when `len_ingest` is smaller than `max_frame_size`. As of time of publication, no known patched versions exist.","severity":{"version":"4.0","score":8.9,"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","level":"high","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-11","score":0.00743,"percentile":0.55146,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-122","CWE-787"],"published":"2025-03-17T22:20:15Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:30:22Z","products":[{"vendor":"nasa","product":"cryptolib"}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/nasa/CryptoLib/security/advisories/GHSA-7g6g-9gj4-8c68","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM","exploit","Exploit","Vendor Advisory","advisory"]},{"url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/29xxx/CVE-2025-29911.json","tags":["advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-29911","tags":["advisory"]}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2025-29911","title":"CryptoLib Has Heap Buffer Overflow in Crypto_AOS_ProcessSecurity Function","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.
