Official description
Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) in BACnet packet parsing (`bacdt_datetime_to_tod`) in Loytec LIP-ME201C, L-INX, L-GATE, L-ROC, L-IOB, L-DALI, L-VIS and L-PAD through 8.4.18 on LINX-A64 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash `linx_a64.exe` and ultimately reboot the device via a malformed BACnet TimeSynchronization or UTC-TimeSynchronization packet with an invalid month value. The same vulnerability affects multiple other Loytec products.

The underlying weakness: Out-of-bounds Read
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
