Description

A heap-based buffer overflow exists in lib60870-C 2.4.0 in the server-side FileSegment ASDU encoding path. The issue occurs because FileSegment_encode() validates only the standalone segment length via FileSegment_GetMaxDataSize() and does not verify the residual capacity of the current ASDU frame before encoding object fields and segment data

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Remediation status

    No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-67873 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-67873 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to CVE-2026-67873. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
