MAVLink Floating Point Exceptions

Hi,

For my thesis we did research about the security of the MAVLink protocol, focussed on implementation flaws.

In the meantime we studied the suitability of the fuzzing technique as a complementing method for security analysis. Four our setup, we used the SITL environment with a quadcopter.

Resulting from the research, our first findings resulted in 15 unique floating point exceptions (crashing the simulator), generated at different places in the implementation. I know FPE are not allowed during flight with a real drone, but maybe they can be an indication some other flaws still exist.

I would like to share and discuss my findings, is this forum the correct place or is there someone particular I need to contact?

Best regards,

Karel
