CVE-2026-48690
FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in the packet capture buffer allocation. In src/packet_storage.hpp, the allocate_buffer() function computes memory_size_in_bytes as 'buffer_size_in_packets * (max_captured_packet_size + sizeof(fastnetmon_pcap_pkthdr_t)) + sizeof(fastnetmon_pcap_file_header_t)' using unsigned int (32-bit) arithmetic. With max_captured_packet_size=1500 and sizeof(fastnetmon_pcap_pkthdr_t)=16, each packet requires approximately 1516 bytes.

If buffer_size_in_packets exceeds approximately 2,832,542, the multiplication overflows, resulting in a much smaller allocation than expected. Subsequent write_packet() calls then write past the allocated buffer, causing heap corruption. The buffer_size_in_packets value is derived from the ban_details_records_count configuration parameter, which is parsed using atoi() with no overflow checking.
CVSS

AV:L, PR:L sin UI:N indica escalada local. El desbordamiento de enteros en asignación de buffer (CWE-122) con escritura fuera de límites causa corrupción de heap que permite ejecución de código arbitrario desde privilegios de usuario local.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.

"value": "FastNetMon Community Edition hasta la versión 1.2.9 contiene una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de entero en la asignación del búfer de captura de paquetes. En src/packet_storage.hpp, la función allocate_buffer() calcula memory_size_in_bytes como 'buffer_size_in_packets * (max_captured_packet_size + sizeof(fastnetmon_pcap_pkthdr_t)) + sizeof(fastnetmon_pcap_file_header_t)' utilizando aritmética de entero sin signo (32 bits). Con max_captured_packet_size=1500 y sizeof(fastnetmon_pcap_pkthdr_t)=16, cada paquete requiere aproximadamente 1516 bytes. Si buffer_size_in_packets excede aproximadamente 2.832.542, la multiplicación se desborda, lo que resulta en una asignación mucho menor de lo esperado. Las llamadas posteriores a write_packet() entonces escriben más allá del búfer asignado, causando corrupción de la pila. El valor de buffer_size_in_packets se deriva del parámetro de configuración ban_details_records_count, que se analiza utilizando atoi() sin verificación de desbordamiento."
