CVE-2026-85437
MOOS-IvP through 24.8.1 contains multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in IvP function string decoders that trust attacker-controlled length fields without validation.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.44%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
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.
