Summary

In Zephyr's WireGuard subsystem, wg_process_data_message() linearizes an inbound transport-data payload into a fixed pool buffer of CONFIG_WIREGUARD_BUF_LEN bytes before decryption. The net_buf_linearize() call passes the attacker-derived data_len as both destination capacity and copy length, bypassing the function's internal bound. When data_len exceeds CONFIG_WIREGUARD_BUF_LEN, an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) occurs.

Risk Assessment

A malicious or compromised peer, or an on-path attacker for an established session, can remotely cause memory corruption, leading to at least a reliable denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability is reachable before the Poly1305 authentication check, requiring only a valid receiver session index.

Recommendation

Immediately update Zephyr to a version containing the fix, which adds an explicit rejection of data_len > CONFIG_WIREGUARD_BUF_LEN and corrects the linearize call to pass net_buf_max_len(buf) as the destination capacity.

Original NVD description (English source)

In Zephyr's WireGuard subsystem (subsys/net/lib/wireguard), wg_process_data_message() in wg_crypto.c linearizes an inbound transport-data payload into a fixed pool buffer of CONFIG_WIREGUARD_BUF_LEN bytes before decryption. The call net_buf_linearize(buf->data, data_len, pkt->buffer, ..., data_len) passed the attacker-derived data_len as both the destination capacity and the copy length, defeating the function's internal len = min(len, dst_len) bound. data_len is derived from the received UDP datagram length and is only lower-bounded by wg_ctrl_recv() (no upper bound). When data_len exceeds CONFIG_WIREGUARD_BUF_LEN — e.g. when the buffer length is lowered below the link MTU, on links with MTU above the buffer size, or via reassembled IPv4/IPv6 fragments that exceed it — the underlying memcpy writes past the end of the pool buffer, an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). The overflow occurs before the Poly1305 authentication check, so it requires only a valid receiver session index rather than a valid authenticator, and is reachable by a malicious or compromised peer (or an on-path attacker driving an established session) over the network, yielding remote memory corruption and at minimum a reliable denial of service. The defect was present in the WireGuard implementation shipped in Zephyr 4.4.0. The fix adds an explicit data_len > CONFIG_WIREGUARD_BUF_LEN rejection and corrects the linearize call to pass net_buf_max_len(buf) as the destination capacity.
