Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Wazuh是美国Wazuh公司开源的一款安全检测与威胁分析平台。 Wazuh 1.0.0至4.14.6之前版本和5.0.0-beta1至5.0.0-beta2之前版本存在缓冲区错误漏洞，该漏洞源于HandleSecureMessage()函数在src/remoted/secure.c中将栈缓冲区内的指针传递给ReadSecMSG()，src/os_crypto/shared/msgs.c在解压数据时发生栈越界写入，可能导致消息处理崩溃并中断代理通信。

Vulnerability Title
Wazuh: Stack Out-of-Bounds Write in remoted Decompression Path
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 1.0.0 until 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta2, HandleSecureMessage() in src/remoted/secure.c passes a pointer inside its stack buffer to ReadSecMSG(), and src/os_crypto/shared/msgs.c decompresses up to OS_MAXSTR bytes at that offset. For an encrypted agent message on TCP port 1514 that expands to 65,536 bytes, os_zlib_uncompress() writes a terminating null byte beyond the end of the destination buffer. The resulting stack out-of-bounds write in the root-level remoted daemon can crash message processing and disrupt agent communications. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta2.
