Overview
CVE-2025-22411 represents a significant vulnerability in the process_service_attr_rsp of sdp_discovery.cc, posing a potential threat to any system that utilizes this service. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute code remotely on the target system, even without any additional execution privileges or user interaction, which makes it a serious security concern.
This vulnerability matters because of its high severity score and the fact that it doesn’t require user interaction for exploitation. This means that any system running an affected version of the software is potentially at risk of being compromised, leading to data leakage or system breaches.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability arises due to a logic error in the code of process_service_attr_rsp in sdp_discovery.cc. This error leads to a use-after-free condition, where the software continues to use memory after it has been freed. This condition could potentially be leveraged by an attacker to inject malicious code, which the system would then execute.
Conceptual Example Code
An exploitation could hypothetically look like this in pseudocode:
def exploit(target):
connect_to_target(target)
send_malicious_payload_to_target(target, "sdp_discovery.cc")
execute_payload_on_target(target)Here, the attacker connects to the target, sends a malicious payload specifically designed to trigger the use-after-free condition in ‘sdp_discovery.cc’, and then triggers the system to execute the payload.
Note: This is a conceptual example and does not represent an actual exploit.
How to Mitigate
Users are advised to apply the latest patches as provided by the vendor. If patches are not available, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation method. However, these methods do not fully address the vulnerability and are only to be used as temporary solutions until the official patch is applied.
