BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. Prior to 1.4.3, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in bacnet-stack's ReadPropertyMultiple service property decoder allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read past allocated buffer boundaries by sending an RPM request with a truncated property list. The vulnerability stems from rpm_decode_object_property() calling the deprecated decode_tag_number_and_value() function at src/bacnet/rpm.c:344, which accepts no buffer length parameter and reads blindly from whatever pointer it receives. A crafted BACnet/IP packet with a 1-byte property payload containing an extended tag marker (0xF9) causes the decoder to read 1 byte past the end of the buffer, leading to crashes on embedded BACnet devices. The vulnerability exists in src/bacnet/rpm.c and affects any deployment that enables the ReadPropertyMultiple confirmed service handler (enabled by default in the reference server). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.3.
