CVE-2023-24817  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade riot-os/riot to version 2023.04 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds such that an attacker can send a crafted frame to the device resulting in an integer underflow and out-of-bounds access in the packet buffer. Triggering the access at the right time will corrupt other packets or the allocator metadata. Corrupting a pointer will lead to denial of service.

Workaround

Users who are unable to upgrade should disable SRH in the network stack.
