CVE-2026-71255

HIGH8.6

Published 2026-08-05 · Source 309f9ea4-e3e9-4c6c-b79d-e8eb01244f2c

Description

nanoMODBUS through v1.23.0 contains an out-of-bounds write in the Modbus client-side recv_read_device_identification_res() function (FC 0x2B/MEI 0x0E, Read Device Identification) in nanomodbus.c. The server-supplied object_length field (0-246) is validated only against the remaining PDU size (res_size_left) and is never validated against the caller-supplied buffers_length parameter. After copying data with strncpy(buffers_out[buf_index], str, buffers_length), the code unconditionally writes a NUL terminator at buffers_out[buf_index][object_length]. When a malicious or compromised Modbus server sends a response with object_length greater than or equal to the client's buffers_length, this NUL write lands past the end of the caller-provided buffer, corrupting adjacent stack or heap memory on the client.
