Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) via the handle_send_a function. An attacker can cause the Emergency Access Daemon to crash by sending a single crafted UDP packet that triggers an integer underflow before a bounds check, resulting in a large value being passed to memcpy.
