Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast due to the rpl_ext_header_hbh_update function. An attacker can cause the system to crash by sending an IPv6 packet with an odd number of padded bytes before the RPL option.

Note: This is only exploitable if the device is connected to an RPL instance and one of the RPL implementations is enabled.
