Summary

FastNetMon Community Edition up to version 1.2.9 contains multiple out-of-bounds reads in the BGP MP_REACH_NLRI IPv6 attribute decoder. The decode_mp_reach_ipv6() function does not validate data before use, allowing an attacker to control field lengths and trigger out-of-bounds reads.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code, compromising the integrity and availability of the network monitoring system.

Recommendation

Immediately update FastNetMon to a patched version. If unavailable, restrict access to the BGP service and monitor network traffic.

Original NVD description (English source)

FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains multiple out-of-bounds reads in the BGP MP_REACH_NLRI IPv6 attribute decoder. The function decode_mp_reach_ipv6() in src/bgp_protocol.cpp contains a TODO comment at line 156 explicitly acknowledging 'we should add sanity checks to avoid reads after attribute memory block.' The function casts raw pointers to structure types without verifying sufficient data exists (line 158), uses the attacker-controlled length_of_next_hop field to determine memcpy size (line 181), and computes prefix_length by dereferencing a pointer calculated from multiple attacker-controlled offsets without bounds validation (line 189). The prefix_length is then used to calculate number_of_bytes_required_for_prefix which becomes a memcpy length (line 202) with no check against remaining buffer size.
