CVE-2026-32705 | PX4 autopilot BST Device Name Length Can Overflow Driver Buffer

Exp

PX4 autopilot is a flight control solution for drones. Prior to 1.17.0-rc2, the BST telemetry probe writes a string terminator using a device-provided length without bounds. A malicious BST device can report an oversized dev_name_len, causing a stack overflow in the driver and crashing the task (or enabling code execution). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.0-rc2.

6.8 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:P)
Hands-on access—USB, keyboard, opening the case—not something you do purely over the wire.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
