Description

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the PC bridge protocol decoder of BoschSensortec COINES_SDK (versions 2.10 through 2.12.2) allows attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code. The bridge decoder ({{bridge_decoder.c}}) trusts the packet length field provided by the external device and forwards it to the host response queue ({{mqueue_add_data}}) without validating the bounds of the destination buffer. A malicious or compromised USB or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripheral can advertise a payload size up to ~3 KB, which exceeds the default queue slot size of 255 bytes. This results in an unbounded heap overwrite ({{memcpy}}), corrupting adjacent heap metadata on the host system when processing the device's response.

CWE ID Description
CWE-122 A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().

Executive Summary

This is a heap-based buffer overflow in BoschSensortec COINES_SDK versions 2.10 through 2.12.2. The vulnerability occurs in the PC bridge protocol decoder where an attacker can send a malicious payload via USB or BLE that exceeds the expected buffer size. The decoder does not validate the packet length, leading to a heap overwrite that can crash the process or allow arbitrary code execution.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service by crashing the affected system or execute arbitrary code, potentially gaining control over the device. This is possible if the device is connected to a malicious or compromised USB or BLE peripheral.

Mitigation Strategies

Update COINES_SDK to a version outside the affected range (2.10 through 2.12.2) to patch the heap-based buffer overflow in the bridge protocol decoder.
