MOOS-IvP Buffer Overflow in String Decoders

Publication date: 2026-09-03

Last updated on: 2026-09-03

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description

MOOS-IvP through 24.8.1 contains multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in IvP function string decoders that trust attacker-controlled length fields without validation. Attackers can craft malicious encoded strings with mismatched declared and actual field lengths to overflow heap and stack buffers, potentially achieving remote code execution through MOOS variables or alog files.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

MOOS-IvP through version 24.8.1 has multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in string decoders used by IvP functions. These decoders do not validate attacker-controlled length fields, allowing crafted strings with mismatched declared and actual lengths to overflow heap and stack buffers. This could lead to remote code execution via MOOS variables or alog files.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code on systems running vulnerable MOOS-IvP versions. This may allow unauthorized access, data manipulation, or denial of service. Systems processing untrusted input are particularly at risk.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating confidentiality and integrity requirements in GDPR and HIPAA. Organizations may face compliance violations if exploited, resulting in legal penalties or reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update MOOS-IvP to the latest version (24.8.1 or later) to patch buffer overflow vulnerabilities. Disable network-exposed MOOS variables or alog file parsing if not required. Monitor for suspicious activity in MOOS-IvP processes and network traffic.
