CVE-2026-122130: CESNET ipfixcol2 integer overflow in Forwarder plugin

CVE-2026-122130 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.2 · Published 2026-11-04

CESNET ipfixcol2 is a high-performance NetFlow and IPFIX flow data collector used to aggregate network traffic information. An integer overflow vulnerability in the Forwarder output plugin allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the collector and potentially write arbitrary data to memory by sending specially crafted IPFIX messages with oversized data sets and templates.

Technologies: CESNET Ipfixcol2. Vendors: CESNET.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 2.9.0

Technical details

The vulnerability is an integer overflow in uint16_t message length counters within the Forwarder output plugin's message handling code (Message.cpp). Unauthenticated IPFIX exporters can trigger a heap buffer overflow by sending near-65535-byte data sets and large templates over TCP, causing the length field to wrap around. This allows 2-byte writes to attacker-influenced memory addresses.

Affected products

  • CESNET ipfixcol2 2.3.0 before 2.9.0
