Summary

EPICS Base, a widely used software toolkit for building control systems for scientific facilities, is affected by this vulnerability. An attacker who sends a specially crafted network message can cause it to read past the end of a memory buffer, which may crash the application or expose nearby memory contents.

Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.

Read the original description

In EPICS Base release 7.0.10 and prior, an insufficient validation of element or length values in a network message can cause the application to read beyond the bounds of an allocated buffer. This may lead to denial of service and could expose adjacent memory contents.
