Description
A buffer overflow vulnerability in open62541 version 1.5.5 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by exploiting improper validation of input arguments in the Service_Call function. This vulnerability affects specific versions including 1.5.5 and several 1.4.x builds. The flaw arises from the Service_Call function not properly validating input arguments against runtime-resolved InputArguments metadata, leading to potential memory corruption and service disruption.
