Eclipse Cyclone DDS: Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)
CVE-2024-10838 is a critical-severity integer underflow (wrap or wraparound) vulnerability in Eclipse Cyclone DDS from Eclipse Foundation, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 0.10.5 as the first without the flaw, so updating Eclipse Cyclone DDS to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.95% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 62% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Eclipse Cyclone DDS to 0.10.5 or a later version.
- Update Cyclone Data Distribution Service to 0.10.5 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eclipse Foundation | Eclipse Cyclone DDS | before 0.10.5 | 0.10.5 |
| Eclipse | Cyclone Data Distribution Service | before 0.10.5 | 0.10.5 |

Official description
An integer underflow during deserialization may allow any unauthenticated user to read out of bounds heap memory. This may result into secret data or pointers revealing the layout of the address space to be included into a deserialized data structure, which may potentially lead to thread crashes or cause denial of service conditions.

The underlying weakness: Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)
The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.
