Summary
F´ (F Prime) before 4.3.0 is affected. In Svc::TlmPacketizer, the TlmRecv_handler copies a telemetry value into a fixed channel slot without checking that it fits (CWE-805). An adjacent attacker without privileges or user interaction can send a telemetry update with an oversized value, which overwrites neighboring channel fields and causes corrupted packetized telemetry to be emitted.

Description from the CNA
F´ (F Prime) is a framework that enables development and deployment of spaceflight and other embedded software applications. Prior to 4.3.0, Svc::TlmPacketizer TlmRecv_handler fixed-slot copy TlmRecv_handler copies val.getSize bytes into entry.channelSize storage without confirming that the runtime value fits. When a telemetry update for a configured channel carries a serialized value larger than that channel fixed slot, the copy overwrites adjacent channel fields and causes corrupted packetized telemetry to be emitted. This issue is fixed in version 4.3.0.
