SDR buffer overflow
Parent: T2049
Description
If SDRs or digital signal processing software are used to provide radio functionality, insufficient checks in radio frame processing, coupled with malformed data packets, could lead to buffer overflows, and create denial-of-service conditions. This type of jamming is significantly stealthier as it is triggered by sending a small number of packets and doesn't require a continuous RF jamming signal.

T2049.003 'SDR buffer overflow' covers SDR/DSP malformed-data exploitation as a denial-of-service mechanism — addresses EX-0013.02's protocol-layer malformed-frame attacks that exercise insufficient checks in radio frame processing.
