Upgrade fast-dds to version 2.10.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow via the readString function when processing a manipulated DATA Submessage with DDS Security enabled. An attacker can cause remote process termination by sending a specially crafted SPDP packet that tampers with the str_size value, leading to a heap buffer overflow via an attacker-controlled size in std::vector::resize.
Note: This is only exploitable if DDS Security mode is enabled.
