CVE-2026-62975: BACnet Stack: Replacing a RAMFS record with a shorter one via `AtomicWriteFile(record-access)` can trigger a heap out-of-bounds read

Published Nov 13, 2026

BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. Prior to version 1.5.1, the RAMFS-backed FILE implementation accepts AtomicWriteFile(record-access) requests that replace existing records with caller-controlled content. If a client replaces a record with shorter data, the backend can shrink the heap allocation and then continue processing with a trailing-copy length derived from the old layout. During that replace path, the RAMFS backend computes the trailing-copy length from the old file layout, then shrinks the heap allocation, and finally uses the stale length in memmove(). As a result, the source range of that memmove() can extend beyond the end of the reallocated heap buffer, producing a heap out-of-bounds read. This issue has been patched in versions 1.5.1 and 1.6.0.
