Description Marian Rehak 2026-08-05 13:01:36 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

A vulnerability was found in o6 open62541 up to 1.5.5. This issue affects the function UA_Client_readNodeClassAttribute of the file src/client/ua_client_highlevel.c. Performing a manipulation results in heap-based buffer overflow. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The project closed the issue report, stating that this is not the official way to report a security vulnerability.
