What is CVE-2024-28231?

The eprosima Fast DDS, which is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard, has a vulnerability that can lead to a heap overflow error. This issue occurs when the DATA Submessage is manipulated in a manner that causes the Fast-DDS process to terminate unexpectedly. The vulnerability arises from the payload_size in the DATA Submessage being declared as uint32_t. When a negative value, such as -1, is provided, it triggers an Integer Overflow, transforming -1 into 0xFFFFFFFF. This ultimately leads to a heap-buffer-overflow, disrupting the functionality of the program and allowing for the potential of remote termination. The issue has been addressed in versions 2.14.0, 2.13.4, 2.12.3, 2.10.4, and 2.6.8.
