Summary
A vulnerability was found in PX4 PX4-Autopilot up to version 1.16.0. The functions MavlinkLogHandler::state_listing and MavlinkLogHandler::log_entry_from_id in the file src/modules/mavlink/mavlink_log_handler.cpp are affected by a stack-based buffer overflow. The attack requires local access. A patch is identified as commit 338595edd1d235efd885fd5e9f45e7f9dcf4013d.
Risk Assessment
A person with local access could cause a system crash or gain unauthorized access, potentially compromising system integrity.
Recommendation
Apply the available patch (commit 338595edd1d235efd885fd5e9f45e7f9dcf4013d) or upgrade to a version that includes it.
Other vulnerabilities in PX4-Autopilot
See all- CVE-2026-102809Medium
PX4 Autopilot through 1.17.0 contains an uncontrolled stack allocation vulnerability in the file2 test command that fails to validate the write chunk size parameter. Attackers with shell access can supply an excessively large value to the -c option to trigger stack overflow and crash the flight controller.
- CVE-2026-102808Medium
PX4 Autopilot through 1.17.0 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the sd_stress command where the -b byte count parameter is parsed without validation before being passed to malloc() and memset(). Attackers with shell access, including through MAVLink, can supply invalid byte count values to crash the flight controller.
- CVE-2026-86714Medium
PX4 Autopilot through 1.17.0 contains a stack buffer over-read vulnerability in the netman system command that fails to validate interface name length. Attackers can supply interface names of 74 bytes or more via the -i option to read beyond buffer boundaries, leaking stack memory to console output or writing it into persistent network configuration files.
- CVE-2026-86713High
PX4 Autopilot through 1.17.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the load_mon module's stop path where exit_and_cleanup() deletes the LoadMon object and frees the performance counter before perf_end() attempts to access it. Attackers can trigger this vulnerability by issuing the load_mon stop command from any PXH or MAVLink shell, causing reads and writes through freed memory that corrupt heap objects and destabilize the flight stack.
- CVE-2026-86097Medium
PX4 Autopilot through 1.17.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in param_set_default_file() and param_set_backup_file() functions that allows attackers to crash the autopilot process. Attackers can invoke 'param select' or 'param select-backup' commands with no path argument from any PX4 shell to trigger the crash.
- CVE-2026-86096Medium
PX4 Autopilot through 1.17.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in TemperatureCalibration::start() due to a race condition between task spawning and object deletion. Attackers can trigger the calibration process via shell commands to write to freed heap memory, corrupting unrelated objects or allocator metadata and destabilizing heap operations.
- CVE-2026-84698Medium
PX4 Autopilot contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the sd_bench command that writes a four-byte block number into a user-supplied sized allocation. Attackers can invoke sd_bench with a block size below four bytes to overflow the heap buffer and potentially execute code or crash the system.
Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability was found in PX4 PX4-Autopilot up to 1.16.0. Affected by this issue is the function MavlinkLogHandler::state_listing/MavlinkLogHandler::log_entry_from_id of the file src/modules/mavlink/mavlink_log_handler.cpp. The manipulation results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is only possible with local access. The patch is identified as 338595edd1d235efd885fd5e9f45e7f9dcf4013d. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.
