Summary

The default configuration of COVESA's vSomeIp contains a flaw that lets an unauthenticated remote attacker send a small TCP packet with a large, attacker-declared SOME/IP length field, forcing massive memory allocations. This can terminate the service through an OOM-kill on memory-constrained systems, or exhaust total host memory when repeated connections are made.

Written by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5 from the sources below. Verify against them.

Read the original description

A vulnerability in the default configuration of vsomeip allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to trigger massive memory allocations by sending a small TCP packet with a large, attacker-declared SOME/IP length field. This can lead to immediate service termination via OOM-kill on memory-constrained systems or total host memory exhaustion through repeated connections.

Check your systems with an agent

Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.

Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-91141 (CVE-2026-91141), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-91141 (entry last updated 2026-11-12):
Affected:
- COVESA vSomeIp: from v3.6.1, fixed in 3.7.4
Fixed versions: 3.7.4.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-91141 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-91141 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/128947
- https://biackr0se.github.io/posts/cve-2026-91141-vsomeip/
- https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/128947
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
