CVE-2026-93652: µD3TN integer overflow in TCPCLv3 handshake heap buffer overflow

CVE-2026-93652 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-09-18

µD3TN is a delay-tolerant network daemon that implements the Bundle Protocol for intermittent network communications. An integer overflow in the TCPCLv3 connection handshake allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause a denial of service by crashing the process, potentially disrupting network relay operations and bundle message delivery.

Technologies: D3TN µD3TN. Vendors: D3TN.

Technical details

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in µD3TN's TCPCLv3 handshake implementation where the peer EID (Endpoint Identifier) length field, stored as uint32_t, is incremented by 1 and used as the size argument to malloc(). When a remote client sends UINT32_MAX as the EID length, the expression "peer_eid_len + 1" wraps to zero, causing malloc(0) to be called. The daemon then attempts to write the original full-length data into the zero-sized allocation via recv(), triggering a heap buffer overflow. This occurs during the initial unauthenticated handshake, allowing any network-reachable attacker to reliably crash the process. The vulnerability has existed since at least the 0.8.0 import in 2020.
