Vulnerability Description

Buffer overflow vulnerability in cannelloni v2.0.0 in CAN frame parsing in parser.cpp in function parseCANFrame, and decoder.cpp in function decodeFrame, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted CAN FD frames.

Required Actions

Update cannelloni to a release newer than 2.0.0 that contains the fix. Until updated, restrict network access to hosts running cannelloni - especially ports receiving CAN-over-UDP traffic. In automotive and industrial deployments, enforce network segmentation and monitor CAN-over-IP traffic for unusual frames.

Who Is Affected?

This vulnerability affects the cannelloni project (CAN-over-UDP tunnelling). Check whether your organization uses this software in automotive, robotics, or IoT deployments and roll out the update.
