CVE-2026-92697: FastNetMon NetFlow v9 out-of-bounds read in interface collector

CVE-2026-92697 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-11-05

FastNetMon is a DDoS detection and network monitoring tool that processes NetFlow data from network devices. In versions 1.2.9 and earlier, a flaw in the NetFlow v9 collector can be exploited by sending specially crafted network packets to cause the application to read memory beyond its intended bounds, leading to a crash and service disruption.

Technologies: FastNetMon. Vendors: FastNetMon.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read in the NetFlow v9 options flowset handler, where strlen() is called on an attacker-controlled interface-description field without proper length bounds. An unauthenticated remote attacker sending crafted UDP packets to the collector can trigger a read past the field and packet buffer, potentially crashing the process. The fix uses strnlen() bounded by the declared field length to prevent reads beyond the field boundary.
