CWE
- CWE-121 - Stack-based Buffer Overflow
Summary
Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Erlang OTP erts (inet_drv) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the BEAM VM by sending a crafted SCTP ERROR chunk.
The sctp_parse_error_chunk function in erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c parses SCTP ERROR chunks and writes cause codes into a fixed-size stack-allocated ErlDrvTermData spec[] array without checking bounds. A remote attacker who has established an SCTP association to a listening port can send a single crafted SCTP ERROR chunk containing enough cause codes to overflow the stack buffer, crashing the VM. The attacker can only write 16-bit values interleaved with a fixed tag, so the overflow does not provide a controlled return address, limiting exploitation to Denial of Service.
A crafted SCTP ERROR chunk may also leak bits and pieces of Erlang VM memory into the received error packet observed by the Erlang process. Such data is already readable by the user running the Erlang VM, so the disclosure scope is limited.
This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before OTP 29.0.2, OTP 28.5.0.2 and OTP 27.3.4.13, corresponding to erts from 6.0 before 17.0.2, 16.4.0.2 and 15.2.7.9.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability by sending a specially crafted Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) ERROR chunk. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the BEAM virtual machine. Additionally, this flaw may result in limited information disclosure by leaking small portions of Erlang VM memory.\"}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-120\", \"description\": \"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input (\u0027Classic Buffer Overflow\u0027)\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"0b0ca135-0b70-47e7-9f44-1890c2a1c46c\", \"shortName\": \"redhat-SADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-07-15T00:47:32.241Z\"}}, {\"title\": \"CISA ADP Vulnrichment\", \"metrics\": [{\"other\": {\"type\": \"ssvc\", \"content\": {\"id\": \"CVE-2026-49759\", \"role\": \"CISA Coordinator\", \"options\": [{\"Exploitation\": \"none\"}, {\"Automatable\": \"yes\"}, {\"Technical Impact\": \"partial\"}], \"version\": \"2.0.3\", \"timestamp\": \"2026-06-10T16:18:27.945916Z\"}}}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\", \"shortName\": \"CISA-ADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-06-10T16:18:35.355Z\"}}], \"cna\": {\"title\": \"Stack buffer overflow in SCTP error cause parsing in inet_drv allows remote VM crash\", \"source\": {\"discovery\": \"EXTERNAL\"}, \"credits\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"finder\", \"value\": \"Zhang Delong\"}, {\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"remediation developer\", \"value\": \"Raimo Niskanen\"}], \"impacts\": [{\"capecId\": \"CAPEC-100\", \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"CAPEC-100 Overflow Buffers\"}]}], \"metrics\": [{\"format\": \"CVSS\", \"cvssV4_0\": {\"version\": \"4.0\", \"baseScore\": 8.8, \"attackVector\": \"NETWORK\", \"baseSeverity\": \"HIGH\", \"vectorString\": \"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N\", \"userInteraction\": \"NONE\", \"attackComplexity\": \"LOW\", \"attackRequirements\": \"NONE\", \"privilegesRequired\": \"NONE\", \"subIntegrityImpact\": \"NONE\", \"vulnIntegrityImpact\": \"NONE\", \"subAvailabilityImpact\": \"NONE\", \"vulnAvailabilityImpact\": \"HIGH\", \"subConfidentialityImpact\": \"NONE\", \"vulnConfidentialityImpact\": \"LOW\"}, \"scenarios\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"GENERAL\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"cpes\": [\"cpe:2.3:a:erlang:erlang\\\\/otp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\"], \"repo\": \"https://github.com/erlang/otp\", \"vendor\": \"Erlang\", \"modules\": [\"inet_drv\"], \"product\": \"OTP\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"changes\": [{\"at\": \"15.2.7.9\", \"status\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"at\": \"16.4.0.2\", \"status\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"at\": \"17.0.2\", \"status\": \"unaffected\"}], \"version\": \"6.0\", \"lessThan\": \"*\", \"versionType\": \"otp\"}], \"packageURL\": \"pkg:otp/erts?repository_url=https:%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Ferlang%2Fotp\u0026vcs_url=git%20https:%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Ferlang%2Fotp.git\", \"packageName\": \"erts\", \"programFiles\": [\"emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unknown\", \"programRoutines\": [{\"name\": \"sctp_parse_error_chunk\"}]}, {\"cpes\": [\"cpe:2.3:a:erlang:erlang\\\\/otp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\"], \"repo\": \"https://github.com/erlang/otp\", \"vendor\": \"Erlang\", \"modules\": [\"inet_drv\"], \"product\": \"OTP\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"changes\": [{\"at\": \"27.3.4.13\", \"status\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"at\": \"28.5.0.2\", \"status\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"at\": \"29.0.2\", \"status\": \"unaffected\"}], \"version\": \"17.0\", \"lessThan\": \"*\", \"versionType\": \"otp\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"84adefa331c4159d432d22840663c38f155cd4c1\", \"lessThan\": \"3983d495284331c121f600a80bac9fcf4e16381e\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"packageURL\": \"pkg:github/erlang/otp\", \"packageName\": \"erlang/otp\", \"programFiles\": [\"erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c\"], \"collectionURL\": \"https://github.com\", \"defaultStatus\": \"unknown\", \"programRoutines\": [{\"name\": \"sctp_parse_error_chunk\"}]}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://github.com/erlang/otp/security/advisories/GHSA-6f4f-chj5-5g97\", \"tags\": [\"vendor-advisory\", \"related\"]}, {\"url\": \"https://cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-2026-49759.html\", \"tags\": [\"related\"]}, {\"url\": \"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/EEF-CVE-2026-49759\", \"tags\": [\"related\"]}, {\"url\": \"https://www.erlang.org/doc/system/versions.html#order-of-versions\", \"tags\": [\"x_version-scheme\"]}, {\"url\": \"https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/3983d495284331c121f600a80bac9fcf4e16381e\", \"tags\": [\"patch\"]}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"cvelib 1.8.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Erlang OTP erts (inet_drv) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the BEAM VM by sending a crafted SCTP ERROR chunk.\\n\\nThe sctp_parse_error_chunk function in erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c parses SCTP ERROR chunks and writes cause codes into a fixed-size stack-allocated ErlDrvTermData spec[] array without checking bounds.
