Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read due to improper handling of a crafted config6a file. An attacker can read memory contents that may contain sensitive information by supplying a maliciously crafted file.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the attacker has the permissions to create or modify the config6a file, which is typically owned by root.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by ensuring that untrusted users do not have the permissions to create or modify the config6a file.
