High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-66733

NVD analysis in progress

Sonic 3 A.I.R. before commit 2492d18 contains an unbounded memory allocation vulnerability in ReceivedPacketCache::enqueuePacket() that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the server process by sending a crafted UDP packet with mUniquePacketID set to the maximum uint32 value. The mUniquePacketID field is read directly from the UDP wire-format packet header without bounds checking, causing the server to allocate one CacheItem per missing packet ID gap, exhausting available host memory and propagating an uncaught std::bad_alloc exception to std::terminate().

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can take the service offline.
Weakness
An attacker-supplied size triggers an oversized allocation.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
