Impact
A classic buffer overflow flaw exists in the Web Integration Service component of RTI Connext Professional, caused by a buffer copy that does not check input size. This vulnerability can corrupt memory during filter processing, potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary code or trigger a denial of service. The flaw is classified as CWE-120.
Affected Systems
The affected product is RTI Connext Professional. Vulnerable versions include all releases from 7.4.0 up to (but not including) 7.*, from 7.0.0 up to (but not including) 7.3.1.3, and from 6.1.2 up to (but not including) 6.1.*. Users of these releases should verify their current version against the specified ranges.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a low probability that the vulnerability has been actively exploited as of the assessment date. The issue is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be remote network-based, as the flaw resides in the Web Integration Service which communicates with external clients. Consequently the risk is significant for environments that expose the Web Integration Service to untrusted networks.
