Description
CVE-2026-62977 is an improper access control vulnerability in the BACnet Stack open source protocol library prior to version 1.5.1. It allows remote attackers to change the size of a read-only RAMFS-backed stream-access FILE object without proper authorization. This can lead to exposure of uninitialized or stale memory contents when reading the enlarged file region, or unauthorized truncation of read-only content. The issue is fixed in versions 1.5.1 and later.
