Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read due to the handling of incoming DIO messages in the RPL-Lite implementation. An attacker can specify a prefix length value that exceeds the maximum allowed, leading to a memcmp function call with a length argument that goes beyond the allocated array boundary for the prefix.
