CVE-2026-92157: F Prime FileDownlink SendPartial integer overflow denial of service

CVE-2026-92157 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-14

F Prime is a framework used to develop and deploy embedded software for spaceflight and other critical applications. A flaw in the FileDownlink component allows an attacker to send a specially crafted command that causes the application to crash or reset, preventing normal operation of the spacecraft or system until it is manually recovered.

Technologies: Nasa F Prime. Vendors: Nasa.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 4.3.0

Technical details

The SendPartial command in Svc::FileDownlink performs insufficient validation of the startOffset and length parameters; when their sum overflows a 32-bit unsigned integer, the range check is bypassed and an inconsistent m_endOffset is stored. On the first data-packet transition, the vulnerable code triggers an FW_ASSERT that aborts or resets the process, causing denial of service. The vulnerability is a classic integer overflow leading to assertion failure in externally-reachable code paths.

Affected products

  • NASA F Prime before 4.3.0
