An issue was discovered in the ROS communications-related packages (aka roscomm or ros-melodic-ros-comm) through 1.14.3. parseOptions() in tools/rosbag/src/record.cpp has an integer overflow when a crafted split option can be entered on the command line.

Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in the XML RPC library of OpenRobotics roscomm communications packages allows unauthenticated network traffic to cause unexpected behavior. This issue affects: OpenRobotics roscomm communications packages Noetic and prior versions. Fixed in https://github.com/ros/roscomm/pull/2065.

An issue was discovered in the ROS communications-related packages (aka roscomm or ros-melodic-ros-comm) through 1.14.3. A buffer overflow allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an IP address with a long hostname.

An issue was discovered in the ROS communications-related packages (aka roscomm or ros-melodic-ros-comm) through 1.14.3. ROSASSERTMSG only works when ROSASSERTENABLED is defined. This leads to a problem in the remove() function in clients/roscpp/src/libros/spinner.cpp. When ROSASSERTENABLED is not defined, the iterator loop will run out of the scope of the array, and cause denial of service for other components (that depend on the communication-related functions of this package). NOTE: The reporter of this issue now believes it was a false alarm.

A code injection vulnerability has been discovered in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rostopic' command-line tool, affecting ROS distributions Noetic Ninjemys and earlier. The vulnerability lies in the 'hz' verb, which reports the publishing rate of a topic and accepts a user-provided Python expression via the --filter option. This input is passed directly to the eval() function without sanitization, allowing a local user to craft and execute arbitrary code.

SROS 2 0.8.1 (which provides the tools that generate and distribute keys for Robot Operating System 2 and uses the underlying security plugins of DDS from ROS 2) leaks node information due to a leaky default configuration as indicated in the policy/defaults/dds/governance.xml document.

SROS 2 0.8.1 (after CVE-2019-19625 is mitigated) leaks ROS 2 node-related information regardless of the rtpsprotectionkind configuration. (SROS2 provides the tools to generate and distribute keys for Robot Operating System 2 and uses the underlying security plugins of DDS from ROS 2.)

An infinite loop in Open Robotics roscomm XMLRPC server in ROS Melodic through 1.4.11 and ROS Noetic through1.15.11 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service in roscomm via a crafted XMLRPC call.
