Answer in brief
CVE-2026-123999 records a High severity (CVSS 8.7) vulnerability in ION-DTN 3.6.2-4.2.0 Heap Buffer Overflow via nm_mgr AMP Rendering. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps nasa-jpl/ION-DTN (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 8.7. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

NASA JPL ION-DTN 3.6.2 through 4.2.0 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in the Network Management daemon (nm_mgr) string-formatting logic that allows a malicious or misconfigured agent to trigger an out-of-bounds write by sending deeply nested AMP payloads that exceed fixed-size buffer allocations through unbounded strcat operations. Attackers can transmit oversized AMP reports, tables, or macros over the UDP CLA/AMP path or trigger the flaw locally via interactive UI rendering to crash nm_mgr and cause a denial of service halting telemetry collection and operator visibility.
