AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, users should consider restricting network access to the grpc-device service and monitor for suspicious activity related to Moniker protobuf messages. Avoid exposing the vulnerable service to untrusted networks.

Description

There is an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability in the NI grpc-device sideband streaming API that may allow an attacker to cause an arbitrary memory dereference, potentially resulting in remote code execution.  Successful exploitation requires an attacker  to supply a specially crafted Moniker protobuf message.  This affects NI grpc-device 2.17.0 and prior versions.
