NVD · unedited
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Ardupilot rover commit v.c56439b045162058df0ff136afea3081fcd06d38 allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via the AP_InertialSensor_ADIS1647x.cpp, ArduRover, ADIS1647x Sensor component.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the AP_InertialSensor_ADIS1647x.cpp sensor driver for the ADIS1647x inertial measurement unit in ArduRover. The vulnerability allows a local attacker to overflow a buffer during sensor data processing, leading to a denial of service condition.

MitigationUpdate ArduRover to a version containing the patched commit following v.c56439b045162058df0ff136afea3081fcd06d38, which should include proper bounds checking in the ADIS1647x sensor driver code.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm ArduRover is in use
    Identify if the system is running ArduRover firmware (not ArduPlane, ArduCopter, etc.) by checking the firmware binary name, build output, or system documentation
    Affected if The firmware is ArduRover and the ADIS1647x sensor driver is compiled into or loaded by the build
  2. Identify the ArduRover version
    Locate the firmware version string in the build artifacts, boot logs, or firmware metadata. Compare against the version containing commit v.c56439b045162058df0ff136afea3081fcd06d38
    Affected if The installed version predates the patched commit; any version before the fix contains the vulnerability
  3. Check if ADIS1647x sensor driver is enabled
    Inspect the build configuration or parameter settings to determine if AP_InertialSensor_ADIS1647x driver is compiled in or the sensor is configured (check for INS parameters, ADIS1647x-related parameters, or driver inclusion in the build)
    Affected if The ADIS1647x driver is included in the firmware build and the sensor is connected or configured for use
  4. Verify sensor connection status
    Examine runtime logs, sensor status, or hardware configuration to confirm whether an ADIS1647x IMU is actively connected and being read by the system
    Affected if The ADIS1647x IMU is physically connected and the driver is actively processing data from it

A user is affected if running a pre-patched version of ArduRover with the ADIS1647x inertial sensor driver enabled and the sensor connected or configured for use.

Mitigation

Update ArduRover to a version containing the patched commit following v.c56439b045162058df0ff136afea3081fcd06d38, which should include proper bounds checking in the ADIS1647x sensor driver code.
