AI analysisSummaries by Vani AI
EPICS Base 7.0.10 and earlier does not sufficiently validate element or length values in a network message, so the application can read past an allocated buffer. A remote attacker can send a crafted message with no authentication or user interaction. The read can crash the process and may disclose adjacent memory. Deployments running those EPICS Base releases are affected.
What to do: Apply the EPICS update for CVE-2026-114598; a fixed release is not named. No workaround is stated.

Description · NVD
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.
