CVE-2026-62976
BACnet Stack: Consecutive AtomicWriteFile(record-access) appends can trigger a heap out-of-bounds read in the RAMFS file backend
Description
BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. Prior to version 1.5.1, the RAMFS-backed FILE object implementation stores appended records as NUL-terminated strings, but its record-counting logic later walks the buffer as if an additional terminating empty record were present. As a result, two consecutive AtomicWriteFile(record-access) append requests can cause record_count() to call bacnet_strnlen() on a pointer that is already one byte past the end of the heap allocation. This issue has been patched in versions 1.5.1 and 1.6.0.
