wb2osz/direwolf (Dire Wolf) versions up to and including 1.8, prior to commit 3658a87, contain a reachable assertion vulnerability in the APRS MIC-E decoder function aprs_mic_e() located in src/decode_aprs.c. When processing a specially crafted AX.25 frame containing a MIC-E message with an empty or truncated comment field, the application triggers an unhandled assertion checking for a non-empty comment. This assertion failure causes immediate process termination, allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service by sending malformed APRS traffic.
A flaw was found in Dire Wolf. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit a reachable assertion vulnerability in the APRS MIC-E decoder. By sending a specially crafted AX.25 frame that contains a MIC-E message with an empty or truncated comment field, the attacker can cause the application to terminate. This leads to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the system unavailable.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated Important because a remote, unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service in Dire Wolf by sending specially crafted AX.25 frames with malformed APRS MIC-E messages. This flaw affects Dire Wolf as shipped in Fedora 42 and Fedora 43.
