CWE-362  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade PX4/PX4-Autopilot to version 1.15.0-beta1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition due to the lack of a synchronization mechanism for loading geofence data. An attacker can cause the drone to upload overlapping geofences and mission routes by exploiting the race condition in the geofence.cpp and mission_feasibility_checker.cpp files.
