Vulnerability details
Meshtastic is an open source mesh networking solution. Prior to 2.5.1, traceroute responses from the remote node are not rate limited. Given that there are SNR measurements attributed to each received transmission, this is a guaranteed way to get a…

remote station to reliably and continuously respond. You could easily get 100 samples in a short amount of time (estimated 2 minutes), whereas passively doing the same could take hours or days. There are secondary effects that non-ratelimited traceroute does also allow a 2:1 reflected DoS of the network as well, but these concerns are less than the problem with positional confidentiality (other DoS routes exist). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.1.

Why these techniques?
Lack of rate limiting on traceroute responses enables attackers to spam requests, causing the target node to generate amplified responses that flood the network, facilitating reflection amplification denial of service.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
The control requires defining frequency, timing, and approval for security interactions, directly addressing uncontrolled interaction rates.
Allocation policies inherently restrict interaction frequency, reducing the impact of excessive requests.
Spam protection explicitly controls interaction frequency by detecting and acting on bulk unsolicited messages from external sources.
