CVE-2026-111730: P-Net buffer overflow in get_check_peer

CVE-2026-111730 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-29

P-Net is a Profinet network stack library used in industrial control systems and network devices. A buffer overflow vulnerability in the check peer function allows an adjacent attacker to crash the service or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted network packet that bypasses input validation.

Technologies: RT-Labs P-Net. Vendors: RT-Labs.

Quick answers

Is CVE-2026-111730 exploited in the wild?
No. Junglewise Threat Intelligence has no report of CVE-2026-111730 being exploited in the wild.

Yes: fixed in P-Net 1.0.3 or later. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
How is CVE-2026-111730 attacked?
It is attacked from the adjacent network or over the network, in a software library.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-111730?
Check whether you run RT-Labs P-Net at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: P-Net 1.0.3 or later

Technical details

The get_check_peer() function fails to properly validate the LengthPeerStationName field in a CheckPeers block, allowing up to 255 bytes to be written into a 241-byte buffer. An attacker with adjacent network access who can establish a Profinet session can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow that writes 15 bytes past the buffer boundary, corrupting adjacent memory and potentially achieving code execution.

Affected products

  • RT Labs P-Net before 1.0.3
