ArduinoCore-AVR: Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in String float/double concatenation handler

CVSS 4.0 6.9 MEDIUMCheck source for fixed versionsKEV status unknown

cve-program · CVE-2026-48490

Published

ArduinoCore-avr contains the source code and configuration files of the Arduino AVR Boards platform. A vulnerability in versions prior to 1.8.8 allows an attacker to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow when concatenating floating-point values of sufficiently large magnitude onto an Arduino String object. By passing values near the extremes of the float or double range to `String::concat(float)`, `String::concat(double)`, `String::operator+=()`, or the `+` operator with a float/double operand, `dtostrf()` writes beyond the fixed-size stack buffer, causing memory corruption and denial of service. Under specific conditions, this could enable arbitrary code execution on AVR-based Arduino boards. The fix is included starting from the `1.8.8 `release.
