BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. From versions 1.4.2 to before 1.4.5, and 1.5.0 to before 1.5.1, a signed fileStartPosition taken from AtomicReadFile and AtomicWriteFile stream-access requests is not validated tightly enough before it reaches the RAM file backends. Practical impact includes: reliable denial of service via process crash, out-of-bounds read that may expose adjacent memory contents, or out-of-bounds write that may corrupt heap memory and destabilize the process. This issue has been patched in versions 1.4.5 and 1.5.1.
