CVE-2026-75584

ION-DTN before 4.2.1-a.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the ION process by sending a BPv7 bundle with a zero-length payload. The canonicalizePayloadBlock() function in bpsec util.c passes bundle->payload.length to zco clone() without validating it against zero, causing a failed CHKZERO assertion that triggers sm Abort() and terminates the process with SIGABRT before any HMAC verification occurs, requiring no valid key or credential to exploit.
