Description

The ntpd_driver component before 1.3.0 and 2.x before 2.2.0 for Robot Operating System (ROS) allows attackers, who control the source code of a different node in the same ROS application, to change a robot's behavior. This occurs because a topic name depends on the attacker-controlled time_ref_topic parameter.

Affected products

Ntpd Driver Project Ntpd Driver: before 1.3.0; from 2.0.0 before 2.2.0 — fixed in 1.3.0, 2.2.0
