Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion via the net ping shell command. An attacker can cause a stack overflow by issuing an ICMP ping to the device's own IPv4 address, which leads the network stack to recursively process echo requests and replies inline, exceeding the work-queue stack.
