If you cannot patch yet, restrict shell access and MAVLink command privileges to trusted users only to reduce risk of exploitation.

Description

PX4 Autopilot versions up to 1.17.0 have a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the sd_stress command. This occurs because the -b byte count parameter is not validated before being used in memory allocation functions. An attacker with shell access, including via MAVLink, can supply invalid values to cause the flight controller to crash. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.1.
