Answer in brief
CVE-2026-49990 records a High severity (CVSS 8.6) vulnerability in BACnet Stack: AtomicReadFile/AtomicWriteFile stream fileStartPosition validation flaw causes out-of-bounds read/write in RAM file backends. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps bacnet-stack/bacnet-stack (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 8.6. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

BACnet Stack is a BACnet open source protocol stack C library for embedded systems. From versions 1.4.2 to before 1.4.5, and 1.5.0 to before 1.5.1, a signed fileStartPosition taken from AtomicReadFile and AtomicWriteFile stream-access requests is not validated tightly enough before it reaches the RAM file backends. Practical impact includes: reliable denial of service via process crash, out-of-bounds read that may expose adjacent memory contents, or out-of-bounds write that may corrupt heap memory and destabilize the process. This issue has been patched in versions 1.4.5 and 1.5.1.
