Summary
RT-Labs P-Net before 1.0.3 is affected when built with PNET_OPTION_AR_VENDOR_BLOCKS enabled, an option that is disabled by default. The ARVendorBlock request handling takes a data length from a field outside the block definition and copies that many bytes into a fixed-size buffer without a bounds check (CWE-787). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted Connect request to cause an out-of-bounds write, which can crash the device (denial of service) or potentially allow arbitrary code execution.

Description from the CNA
P-Net before 1.0.3, when built with PNET_OPTION_AR_VENDOR_BLOCKS enabled, parses a data length from a field of the ARVendorBlock request that is not part of the block definition and uses it as the number of bytes to copy into a fixed-size buffer, without comparing it with the buffer size or the block length. A crafted Connect request causes an out-of-bounds write. This can lead to a crash (denial of service) or potentially arbitrary code execution. This option is disabled by default.
