CVE-2026-13480: The LoRaWAN TS004 Fragmented Data Block Transport handler frag_transport_package_callback() in subsys/lorawan/

Routine
LOW 3.1UPGRADE

CVE-2026-13480 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.1) affecting zephyr. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The LoRaWAN TS004 Fragmented Data Block Transport handler frag_transport_package_callback() in subsys/lorawan/services/frag_transport.c parses downlink command bytes without validating that enough payload bytes remain before each access. The loop's only bound is rx_pos < len; after consuming the one-byte command id the handler cast rx_buf + rx_pos to a 10-byte struct frag_transport_setup_req, and for a DATA_FRAGMENT command passed &rx_buf[rx_pos]
