Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow via the MAVLink log reques. An attacker can cause the flight controller MAVLink task to crash, resulting in loss of telemetry and command capability, by sending a log request with an oversized path after creating deeply nested directories through MAVLink FTP.
