Description

BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. Prior to versions 1.4.4, 1.5.1, and 1.6.0, the current master demo server can be crashed remotely over BACnet/IP by sending a valid Confirmed WriteProperty request that updates loop-1's controlled-variable-reference to point to life-safety-zone-1 / accepted-modes. This issue has been patched in versions 1.4.4, 1.5.1, and 1.6.0.

Exploitability

CWE
CWE Icon
KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-131 The product does not correctly calculate the size to be used when allocating a buffer, which could lead to a buffer overflow.
CWE-121 A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
CWE-805 The product uses a sequential operation to read or write a buffer, but it uses an incorrect length value that causes it to access memory that is outside of the bounds of the buffer.
CWE-787 The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-47711 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the BACnet-stack library affecting versions up to 1.6.0-rc1. It occurs when a remote attacker sends a malicious Confirmed WriteProperty request to update loop-1's controlled-variable-reference to point to life-safety-zone-1's accepted-modes property. The server crashes due to memory corruption during object timer execution.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires monitoring BACnet/IP traffic for Confirmed WriteProperty requests targeting loop-1's controlled-variable-reference property. Inspect demo server logs for crashes after such requests. Use Wireshark with BACnet protocol filters to capture and analyze WriteProperty packets. Check for memory corruption errors in server logs during object timer execution.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can cause remote denial-of-service (DoS) by crashing the BACnet/IP server. An attacker can send a single malicious request, and the server will crash during subsequent timer processing. This disrupts operations dependent on the BACnet stack.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade BACnet-stack to patched versions 1.4.4, 1.5.1, or 1.6.0 immediately. If upgrading is not possible, disable the demo server or restrict network access to BACnet/IP ports. Monitor for suspicious WriteProperty requests targeting loop-1 properties. Apply network segmentation to isolate BACnet devices.
